Pitch and Weather Report
The Riverside Ground in Chester-Le-Street offers a green top pitch that can assist seam bowlers early on with movement and bounce. However, as the innings progress, the pitch tends to flatten out, providing a better surface for batsmen in the latter half of the match. Weather conditions are expected to be chilly with mostly cloudy skies, and temperatures around 18°C at the start of play.

Who Will Win Today's Match? (AI Prediction)
Durham look like the favourites heading into this clash. Their captain Alex Lees is in red-hot form, and the bowling unit led by Potts has shown discipline and control. Playing at home also adds to their advantage.
Hampshire, however, have a strong batting lineup and the experience of James Vince and Liam Dawson, which could turn the game if they fire collectively. Their key challenge will be to restrict Durham’s aggressive batting unit.
AI Prediction: Durham win this match against Hampshire.
