LEI vs DUR Match Predictions and Betting Tips

The 21st match of the T20 Blast will take place between Leicestershire and Durham. They will play the match at Grace Road at Leicester on June 13. I have picked the top LEI vs DUR match predictions and betting tips for you.

Leicestershire have begun the T20 Blast with a couple of setbacks. They played 2 games and lost both of them quite poorly. They lost their first game to Lancashire and then lost another one to Derbyshire. Durham, on the other hand, began their tournament on a positive note. They came out to completely dominate Yorkshire in the first game of the match. This became a happier win because Yorkshire were on a high after their win against Birmingham Bears. The two teams have been playing each other since 2013 and Durham have recently started skewing the overall win rate in their direction. In fact, Durham have won 6 of their last 7 games, and have a total of 17 wins against Leicestershire. Leicestershire have won 13 games against Durham but have been struggling in recent times. I have picked the top LEI vs DUR match predictions for you to win money from.

LEI vs DUR Player Bets

The oddsmakers have not offered a lot of appealing player odds at the time of publishing these tips. They did, however, offer great odds for the ex-Durham player who is playing his first season for Leicestershire. Take a look at the top LEI vs DUR match predictions.

Scott Steel to score over 19.5 runs

The first bet is for the 22-year-old English batsman who also debuted for Leicestershire this season. Scott Steel debuted for Durham in 2019 and had a marvelous first season. He scored a total of 369 runs from the 11 innings he played in T20 Blast 2019. This was an average of 33.55 with 2 half-centuries. While his last season was not as great, with just 40 runs from 6 innings. He did get a reason to work harder and he played pretty well for Leicestershire 2nd XI in the 4-day format. He failed to perform in the T20’s while playing for the 2nd XI.

Despite this, Scott Steel was given an opportunity to play in the first game against Lancashire. He shut all his critics up with a brilliant innings scoring 54* runs from 51 balls. He then came and got out on a duck against Derbyshire. Still, it is rare for an opener to stay not out till the end of 20 overs, especially in the T20 format. Scott Steel will face his previous team for the first time in professional cricket but should have enough practice with them to play well. He has 2 matches at Grace Road with 70 runs from them at an average of 35.0. This is one of the top LEI vs DUR match predictions. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.85 for Scott Steel to score over 19.5 runs.

Leicestershire vs Durham Team Bets

The team bets are the bets to go for in this match due to their propensity for winning you money. Take a look at the top LEI vs DUR team betting tips.

Durham to hit the most 6’s

The next bet focuses on Durham and their ferocious boundary hitting capabilities and Leicestershire’s ineptitude at the same. Durham played 9 complete matches in the last season of the T20 Blast. They hit a total of 47 sixes in the 9 games at an average of 5.22. Leicestershire came out to bat in a total of 9 innings too, and hit 42 sixes from them at an average of 4.66. Although they have a similar number of boundaries, Leicestershire had Gareth Delaney hit 9 sixes for them and he won’t be playing in the upcoming match. Durham also had 6 sixes contributed by Alex Lees, who won’t be playing in the match. Durham still have their top boundary hitters with them though.

Even in this season, Leicestershire have hit 8 sixes from their 2 games averaging 4.0 sixes per game. Durham have hit 5 sixes in their only game against Yorkshire. This was also due to exceptional innings by Bryndon Carse who is a bowler and scored 51 runs and hit 4 fours and 2 sixes. Durham probably won the game because of him, and he was the player of the match. Durham are the clear favorites to hit more boundaries and this is one of the top LEI vs DUR match predictions. Bet365.com has offered odds of 2.05 for Durham to hit the most 6’s.

Durham to win the match

The last bet would make a lot of sense if you caught the teams playing this season. While Durham are in top form, with an amazing win against Yorkshire, Leicestershire have lost both their games. Leicestershire lost their first game against Lancashire, who set a target of 172 runs for them. Leicestershire managed to score only 156 runs in their 20 overs and lost the game by 16 runs. They went on to face Derbyshire in their 2nd match, who set up a more formidable target of 210 runs. In the match, every 8 players of Leicestershire managed to deliver over 12 runs, and yet it wasn’t enough. The top scorer managed just 35 runs and Leicestershire fell 23 runs short of the target with all their wickets down.

Durham have played much better in their only game, that too against a team as terrifying as Yorkshire. They set a target of 182 runs for Yorkshire and then went on to constrict them to just 161 runs from the 20 overs. Even though Yorkshire had the top batter, Durham easily won the match. Both the teams won a game against each other last season, but Durham won the three games before that. In the last season both the teams had 4 wins from their 9 games. This is another one of the top LEI vs DUR match predictions and betting tips. Bet365.com is offering odds of 1.80 for Durham to win.
