Lancashire Lightning defeated Notts Outlaws by six wickets on Sunday to maintain their lead in the North Group. Although they have been very strong in this year’s tournament, they have had a small wobble recently, losing by 7 wickets to Northamptonshire Steelbacks and by 2 wickets to Durham before the win over the Outlaws. On Sunday, both Steven Croft and skipper Dane Vilas contributed with half-centuries. Tom Hartley finished with 2-27 from four overs.
Durham are second in the North Group, trailing only Worcestershire Rapids, and have won two of their last seven T20 Blast games. The wins came against bottom-of-the-table Worcestershire Rapids in early June and top-of-the-table Lancashire Lightning on June 10th. However, they have been soundly defeated by Yorkshire Vikings and Leicestershire Foxes since their surprise victory. Durham’s batting performance against the Foxes was dismal, but Australian Andrew Tye took 5-38 with the ball.
