(Last 10 match)

The Banks Homes Riverside pitch in Durham is traditionally known for assisting seamers, especially early in the match. With a good covering of grass and cool evening conditions, swing bowlers are expected to be effective during the powerplay overs. Batters will need to assess conditions quickly and be cautious early before shifting gears. Once settled, the outfield allows for quick scoring, and stroke-play becomes easier as the ball ages. Spinners may have a role to play in the middle overs, especially if the pitch wears down. Teams winning the toss may prefer to chase, given the tendency of this surface to ease out later in the innings. A total between 155–170 could be par here, depending on how well the new ball is handled.
