Preview:

Middlesex will take on Durham in a Group 2 match of the English One Day Cup 2021 on Tuesday. Middlesex were too ordinary in the first match against Essex, as they lost the match by 9 wickets with 11 overs still left in the game. Jack Davies batted well, which took Middlesex to reach a reasonable score.

Meanwhile, Durham’s last fixture was washed out due to rain against Sussex. Prior to that, they won against Kent by 103 runs after putting up a record score of 405 runs while batting first. They have named a different squad from the previous matches and are likely to do well in the away fixture.
