Riverside Ground

Durham Women are poised to take on Essex Women for the first time in the Vitality Blast Women on June 20, 2025, at Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street. The game is scheduled to commence at 7:00 PM IST.

Durham Women vs Essex Women Chances of Winning

Durham Women experienced a surprise victory in the last outing against Somerset Women after a dry run in the tournament so far. The latter were restricted to 138 runs, and Durham Women’s bowlers were absolutely on the money. This gave the batters a solid chance to bring it home, and opener Suzie Bates led from the front with a well-crafted 49-run knock. Even though they lost six wickets in the process of chasing down the total, Durham Women managed to clinch their second victory of the season.

Essex Women extended their losing streak as they suffered another defeat at the hands of Warwickshire Women in the last match. The former did not put on a particularly convincing total as they posted 150 runs on the board - Cordelia Griffith and Madeline Penna were the top scorers and they both remained unbeaten on 47 and 41 runs, respectively. However, this target was not a challenge for Warwickshire Women to chase down who took victory by a margin of two wickets.

Durham Women vs Essex Women Betting Tips

Essex Women to have a better opening partnership than Durham Women

Lauren Winfield-Hill and Grace Scrivens are a force to be reckoned with this season and their partnerships have set the team up for success. In the five matches prior to this fixture, the openers set up remarkable totals of 44, 75, 47, 1 and 55 before the fall of the first wicket. Seeing as their collaboration failed to bring about results just once so far, they are expected to continue on their rampage and lay down a solid foundation for the team.

Durham Women vs Essex Women Toss Prediction

Two out of three matches held at Riverside Ground went in favor of those fielding first and the toss winners also opted to chase twice so far. The average first innings total of 164 this season is quite competitive but not safe on this surface, making fielding first the top choice for the upcoming game.

Durham Women vs Essex Women Betting Odds

Essex Women to have a better opening partnership than Durham Women

Suzie Bates and Leah Dobson have introduced steady improvements to Durham Women’s first wicket. In the last three matches of the tournament, they secured totals of 38, 7 and 0 runs before losing a wicket. However, they pale in comparison to Essex Women’s openers who are an absolute powerhouse this season. Lauren Winfield-Hill and Grace Scrivens have added 44, 75 and 47 runs to the first wicket in the previous three encounters. Since they are clearly in a league of their own, Essex Women’s opening partnership is favored to outperform Durham Women’s opening wicket in the upcoming clash.

Durham Women vs Essex Women Best Batters

Suzie Bates to be Durham Women’s Best Batter

The prediction for the last match panned out as expected considering opener Suzie Bates top-scored for Durham Women, having missed out on a third half-century this season with 49 runs against Somerset Women. She has extended her lead as their top batter with 279 runs in seven innings and an average of 39.85, making her the leading contender for the next match as well.

Lauren Winfield-Hill to be Essex Women’s Best Batter

In the last encounter versus Warwickshire Women, Lauren Winfield-Hill scored 30 runs and was not the top scorer for the team but furthered her lead overall with 216 runs in seven innings. Her average of 30.85, though far from ideal, is the best of the team at the moment and she is anticipated to lead the charge in the upcoming fixture despite her dry spell.

Durham Women vs Essex Women Best Bowlers

Katie Levick to be Durham Women’s Best Bowler

Katie Levick was the second highest wicket-taker for Durham Women in the last outing against Somerset Women where her four-over spell yielded one wicket and an economy rate of 6.50. She continues to be the team’s leading bowler overall with seven wickets in seven innings, and although her average of 28.57 could be improved, she is expected to come out on top.

Esmae MacGregor to be Essex Women’s Best Bowler

Esmae MacGregor emerged as the joint leading bowler for Essex Women during their last encounter against Warwickshire Women as she captured two wickets in four overs and achieved an economy rate of 6.00. She is the only one from the team to have surpassed the ten-wicket threshold in the tournament, and with 16 wickets in seven innings, she is their top wicket-taker. Averaging at an impressive 12.75, she is the top choice against Durham Women.
