LEI vs DUR Team Bet:

Mentioned below is the top team bet from the LEI vs DUR head-to-head contest.

Leicestershire To Score Under 21.5 Runs Before 1st Dismissal

Leicestershire had a terrible campaign last time around winning just six out of 14 games to finish 6th in North Group. They also failed to make it to the quarter final stage of the competition. Their opening batters also could not capitalise and failed to make some explosive starts for them. Josh Inglis and Scott Steel were the regular ones to open the innings for Leicestershire. The duo hammered 271 runs from 14 games last season before the fall of the first wicket. This takes their average to just 19.35 runs per game. The side posted scores of 11, 22, 14, 1 & 15 in the last five Blast games. This sums up to 63 runs, averaging almost 12.60 runs per game. This shows the level of inconsistency the opening batter had last season. The side collided with Durham twice last season and their scores before the first dismissal read 14 & 18. In the last five head-to-head meetings, Leicestershire posted scores of 14, 18, 9, 18 & 48 before the fall of the first wicket. Individually, Josh Inglis had a good season and finished being the highest run getter for his side. But Scott Steel had a forgetful season last time around averaging just 27.63 from 12 games he featured in. Looking at all these, we have backed Leicestershire to score low before the fall of the first wicket. Pari Match should be offering the best of odds from the LEI vs DUR head-to-head encounter.
