NatWest T20 Blast action returns to The 3aaa County Ground on Sunday as Derbyshire Falcons look to secure a victory against Yorkshire Vikings.
Derbyshire’s top run scorer in 2015, Wes Durston, returned to action for the Falcons against Worcestershire last time out scoring 32 off 19 balls on his return, before a string of impressive performances for the Second XI.
The business end of the season is on the horizon in the NatWest T20 Blast and having Durston’s run scoring and bowling prowess back in the fold will be vital for Derbyshire if they are to make a push for the quarter-finals.
