In the 2022 Vitality Blast, Durham Cricket will face Worcestershire Rapids. The game will begin at 18:30 local time on Wednesday, June 1st at Riverside, Chester-le-Street.
Durham has played three games in the 2022 T20 Blast, all of which have taken place away from home. They started with a 54-run win over Leicestershire Foxes before losing by 31 runs to Northamptonshire Steelbacks and by 5 wickets to Birmingham Bears. Captain Ashton Turner suffered a shoulder injury in the loss to the Steelbacks and is expected to miss this game as part of his ongoing rehabilitation. 29-year-old Paul Coughlin has stood out with the ball and is their second-highest run-scorer so far.
Worcestershire Rapids have lost all three matches this season but should be buoyed by the availability of IPL stars Moeen Ali and Dwayne Bravo for the trip to Durham. Colin Munro, a hard-hitting New Zealand batter, missed the first game of the competition but has since posted consecutive half-centuries and looks set to score a lot of runs. Pat Brown, a right-arm fast-medium bowler with four England caps, took 3-35 against Lancashire Lightning on Sunday afternoon.
