Dream11 Prediction: Durham and Leicestershire will be up against each other for the second time this season. Leicestershire won the previous game by six runs. But since then, things have changed. Though Durham are sitting in a better spot than Leicestershire, their last two results have gone against them.
Leicestershire have also not done well in recent matches. Durham will be playing a home game, and they have a great chance here. They know the conditions well and have played here a lot. The prediction of rain makes the toss also very important. But overall, Durham are all suited to win this game.
