Team News:

Durham

With his all-round capabilities, D Arcy Short is one player that probably no fantasy team can overlook, and would be a no brainer to hand him the captaincy. Peter Handscomb, can prove to be good option in the middle-order. Matty Potts and Liam Trevaskis have been amongst wickets.

Warwickshire

Warwickshire haven’t had a good tournament, and have accumulated just three wins from the 12 matches. Sam Hain has played a few good innings for Warwickshire in their dismal season. There are a few players like Fidel Edwards and Jeetan Patel, whose international experience can come handy.
