DUR vs WOR Match 48 Predictions & Betting Tips

The 48th fixture of the County Championship 2021 season will see Durham and Worcestershire taking on each other. This forthcoming fixture is going to be hosted at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street from May 13th, Thursday. I have managed to accumulate three of the best betting tips from the DUR vs WOR match prediction.

This is going to be a really interesting game if you ask me that is. Because two teams Durham and Worcestershire have very interesting figures so far in the current edition of the County Championship. On one hand, Worcestershire have played 5 matches so far and have gone on to draw all of them; and, on the other, Durham have lost only one game and that was against Essex, who are the defending champions (but have struggled to find their feet in this edition).

However, Durham are coming into this fixture on the back of a crushing victory against Warwickshire. The margin was an innings and 127 runs, so, you can understand the confidence they would have gained from that win. Scott Borthwick and co. have played some good all-round cricket at their home ground in Chester-le-Street. It will be imperative for Worcestershire to know that they should not be taking Durham lightly. But how do we care? I am serious! I am only interested in making you money at the end of the day. Therefore, I have dug out three of the best betting tips from the DUR vs WOR Day 1 match prediction.

DUR vs WOR Day 1 - Player Bets:

The team bets are definitely available for me to pick from them. However, when such tricky sides collide against each other, it becomes difficult for us writers to substantiate the claims. Therefore, I have gone ahead and assorted David Bedingham and Jake Libby from the player bets of DUR vs WOR Day 1 match prediction.

David Bedingham to score over 29.5 runs

David Bedingham - a name that is becoming seemingly popular in the domestic circuit and ECB senior team selectors will be keeping a close eye on him. He has been a revelation with the bat in County Cricket for the last couple of seasons. Currently, Bedingham is the highest run scorer of the 2021 edition of the County Championship. He has played four matches and has racked up 567 runs at a staggering average of 113.40. In this ongoing tournament, he has scored one double century, one hundred and two half centuries in just 7 innings. That is an astonishing record to hold to be honest by this 27-year-old South African, who now shall play for England given a chance.

In the 2020 edition of Bob Willis Trophy, Bedingham was the second highest run scorer for Durham. Bedingham had 253 runs against his name at an average of 31.62. David Bedingham was unveiled as a Durham player just before the 2020 season and ever since that he has only bettered his record. He has played 41 matches so far in his First-class career and has 3062 runs at an impressive average of 49.38 including 9 centuries and 11 fifties. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Bedingham to score over 29.5 runs in the DUR vs WOR match prediction.

Jake Libby to score over 25.5 runs

The other player, who I believe, is going to make a difference for Worcestershire and us, is Jake Libby. The Worcestershire opener has a lot riding on his shoulders as they walk into their 6th fixture of the tournament. Let me tell you - Libby is the leading run scorer for Worcestershire in the current season of Worcestershire. He has 485 runs in 5 matches (7 innings) at an outlandish average of 97.00. He has already scored two wonderful hundreds and two half-centuries.

The right-handed batsman was phenomenal in the Bob Willis Trophy 2020 edition as well. He was the second highest run getter of the tournament. Libby had piled up 498 runs in 5 matches at an impressive average of 55.33 including 1 century and three fifties. His last four scores in this ongoing tournament - 74, 41, 52* and 117, suggest the kind of form he is in with the bat. Overall, the right-hander has played 65 First-class matches and has scored 3557 runs at an average of 34.20. Dafabet is here to offer us odds of 1.87 for Jake Libby to score over 25.5 runs in the DUR vs WOR match prediction.

David Bedingham to score over 2.5 fours

We are not yet done with David Bedingham as he is going to make us some more money on Thursday evening. Now that you are already aware of his antics with the bat, it is time for me to throw some lights on his boundary hitting ability. The 27-year-old has smashed 371 fours in just 41 games in his First-class career. In four matches (7 innings) so far in the 2021 edition of the County Championship, Bedingham has clobbered 65 fours.

In the 2020 season of the Bob Willis Trophy, the right-handed batsman managed to hit 31 fours in just 5 matches.The match against Derbyshire, in which he powered himself to a double ton and a half century in the second innings, Bedingham managed to clatter a whopping 35 fours alone. I am expecting him to hit way more than just 2.5 fours in the upcoming fixture against Worcestershire. Dafabet once again has offered guaranteed odds of 1.63 for David Bedingham to hit over 2.5 fours in the DUR vs WOR match prediction.
