Leicestershire vs Nottinghamshire & Middlesex vs Durham – 64th & 65th Match

The T20 Blast 2026 continues with two exciting matches on Sunday, June 28. Leicestershire Foxes will face Notts Outlaws in the 64th Match at Grace Road, Leicester, while Middlesex will take on Durham in the 65th Match at Old Deer Park. Both matches are scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM local time, 1:30 PM GMT, and 7:30 PM Bangladesh Time.

Leicestershire will depend on key players like Sol Budinger, Rishi Patel, Louis Kimber, Peter Handscomb, Rehan Ahmed, Logan van Beek, and Ben Mike. Their batting lineup has some useful options, but Louis Kimber and Peter Handscomb will need to play important roles if they want to post or chase a competitive total. Rehan Ahmed can also be a key player with both bat and ball.

Nottinghamshire look stronger overall with a more explosive batting lineup. Joe Clarke and Alex Hales can give Notts Outlaws an aggressive start in the powerplay, while Jack Haynes, Tom Moores, Lyndon James, and Daniel Sams add depth and balance. Their bowling attack also has quality options like Olly Stone, Dillon Pennington, Calvin Harrison, and Luke Fletcher.

The Grace Road pitch in Leicester usually helps batters early in the innings. Fast scoring is possible if the top order settles quickly, but spinners can become important as the match progresses. A first-innings score of around 165-180 could be competitive at this venue.

In the second match, Middlesex will look for a stronger and more consistent performance against Durham. Their key players include Stephen Eskinazi, Max Holden, Leus du Plooy, Jack Davies, Ryan Higgins, Luke Hollman, Tom Helm, Blake Cullen, and Noah Cornwell. Middlesex will need their top order to fire, while Ryan Higgins and Luke Hollman can provide useful all-round support.

Durham come into this match as favorites because of their better balance in both batting and bowling. Alex Lees, Graham Clark, Ollie Robinson, Colin Ackermann, and Bas de Leede give them batting strength, while Ben Raine, Nathan Sowter, Callum Parkinson, and Matthew Potts make their bowling attack dangerous. Potts and Raine could be very important if the pitch offers early movement.

Old Deer Park could provide a balanced surface, but bowlers who hit the right areas may get good value. Middlesex will need to avoid early wickets, while Durham’s bowling attack has the quality to control the middle overs. A score around 160-175 could be competitive depending on conditions.

Prediction: Leicestershire 40% – Nottinghamshire 60%, Middlesex 35% – Durham 65%.
