Worcestershire vs Durham Pitch Report
The deck at Grace Road is expected to favor the bowlers in the first half of the game. The new-ball bowlers will get some movement off the surface, making life hard for the batters in the initial part of the game.
With short square boundaries, we can expect the batters to target one side of the field. The average first innings score on this venue is 165 and Teans chasing have won 28 out of 54 times. So run-scoring can not prove to be very difficult once the batters settle into their zone.
Worcestershire vs Durham Weather Report
The weather in Leicester will remain partly cloudy with wind speed reaching up to 24 km/hr. There is a slim chance of rain with a precipitation rate of up to 20%. The temperatures throughout the day would vary between 18 C and 10 C.

Worcestershire vs Durham Prediction
Worcestershire are at the upper end of the points table with a pretty impressive win record in their last five matches. Meanwhile, Durham are yet to register a single victory in their last five games and are enduring a poor run of form. Hence on that note, we expect Worcestershire to dominate Durham in a thumping fashion.
