Durham Jets head coach Jon Lewis has named an unchanged squad for tomorrow’s Vitality Blast match against Lancashire Lightning at Emirates Riverside (2:30pm start).
After three wins in a week, including the incredible victory in this return fixture at Emirates Old Trafford on Tuesday, the Jets are aiming to make it four & secure a first home quarter-final since 2008.
Last night’s 12-run win over Northants Steelbacks was the Jets’ eighth win in nine & defeat for Worcestershire Rapids saw them overtaken into first position of the North Group.
And Lewis has kept faith with the same squad of 14 against a resurgent Lightning side, who have responded to Tuesday’s result with back-to-back wins that also sees them within touching distance of the knockout stages.
Mark Wood continues in the side after returning with figures of 1/29 at Wantage Road last night. Liam Trevaskis missed the match through illness & is 50-50 on a return tomorrow.
Tickets remain available for tomorrow’s match at £15 adults & £5 juniors in advance (up until midnight tonight). On-the-day prices are £20 adults & £5 juniors.
And with a holiday to Dubai up for grabs, the popular Liontrust Family Zone open from 12:30pm & a post-match screening of Trolls on the big screen, there is plenty going on at Emirates Riverside!
Squad vs Lancashire Lightning (12 August)
Last Time Out
Liam Trevaskis took three wickets in a brilliant last over as Durham snatched victory from the jaws of defeat against Lancashire at Emirates Old Trafford.
The part-time left-arm spinner from Carlisle, 19, defended just six off the last over and took his first wickets of the campaign as Lancashire chased a 155 target, slipping badly from a position of strength at halfway.
The Lightning needed 63 off the last 10 overs with six wickets left and finished on 150 for nine.
The best final over T20 cricket has ever seen?
