Pre-Match Analysis:
Lancashire are in a rich vein of form currently, securing 3 wins on the trot. Right now they have a wonderful opportunity to make it 4 in a row and a win against Durham will take them to top position, given if Hampshire losses against Warwickshire.
Batting has evolved in recent games, that led to their success. It was evident during the last fixture against Warwickshire, where they put up 276 for 8 and posted a convincing 101-run victory in the end. Emma Lamb continues to shine at the top of the order, smashing 3 consecutive half-centuries in last 3 matches, she also made a massive difference with the ball, picking up 12 wickets. Overseas signing Katie Mack played a decisive role as well, accumulating 261 runs in 7 matches so far in the tournament.
Durham, who endured a lean period after early success, are right back in the competition, securing back-to-back wins over Warwickshire and Essex by 3 wickets and 6 wickets respectively. Particularly winning against Essex has lifted their confidence, where they produced a complete all-round performance. Bowlers were right on the money in the first half, picking up all 10 wickets for 178, and later half-century from Mia Rogers (66*) and a vital 46 from Mady Villiers ensured them a convincing victory with 70 balls to spare.
At the moment, they are placed 5th in the standings with 14 points.
