Team news: Derbyshire look set to name the same squad as that which travelled to Worcester including the all-international pace quartet of Duanne Olivier, Hardus Viljoen, Ravi Rampaul and Safyaan Sharif while Durham head coach Jon Lewis is also expected to keep faith with his squad despite two chastening defeats so far.
Form: The home side will come into the game on Wednesday in decent, but not spectacular form, after winning one and losing one in their first two fixtures in the competition. Defeat by 50 runs to Worcestershire followed a record-breaking victory in their opening fixture over Warwickshire, scoring their highest ever 50-over score of 357 for eight as they won by 57 runs.
For Durham, it has been a far leaner time. Two defeats out of two by a combined margin of 334 runs make for grim reading and displays that they are coming into the game in terrible form.
The contest between the two sides in the 2017 tournament ended in a no result as rain washed out the match with Durham 194 for two off 34 overs in a reduced 43 overs-a-side match.
