When Yorkshire and Durham met in 2024, there was a win for each side with the latter getting a victory by three runs in the first clash and Yorkshire securing an easy seven wicket win with 20 balls remaining in the second.
The North Group is a very congested group with only four points covering from third place Leicestershire to Yorkshire at the foot of the table.
Of course this means that a victory for Yorkshire at home against Durham could send them propelled up the table and back into the conversation for a top four place.
The home side will be well ed at York Cricket Club but no doubt Durham will travel south keen to put their place in the top four in as secure a place as possible.

Yorkshire have a bowling attack which could cause many teams problems and it was only young spinner Jafer Chohan who went wicketless from the frontline bowling unit in their last game, a 32-run defeat versus Birmingham Bears on Friday evening.
The opening pair of Jack White and George Hill both took two wickets each against Birmingham Bears but were expensive whereas New Zealander Will O'Rourke was the pick of the bowlers taking 3/31 from his four overs.
Batting wise, skipper Dawid Malan continues to show his experience and the talent which saw him become a mainstay of England's white-ball side over the years.
With Adam Lyth at number three and Will Sutherland in the middle-order, there are plenty of runs to be contirbuted across the order in this Yorkshire side.

It was only James Neesham who was able to really get on top of the Northants bowlers in the last game but the side were still able to post a big enough total to inflict a defeat against the previously unbeaten Steelbacks.
As a result, confidence will be high across the Durham unit ahead of this game with captain and opener Alex Lees along with Colin Ackermann and Will Rhodes likely to make the most runs across the top four.
Despite the victory, the opening pair of Matthew Potts and Zakary Foulkes all went wicketless with spinner Callum Parkinson taking 2/16 as Ben Raine also picked up two dismissals.
Neesham is the key player for Durham, he comes into this game after taking 3/29 and the New Zealander is a proven match-winner at this and higher levels!

Partly cloudy skies look set to be the order of the day in York on Sunday with the temperature from 19 to 21 degrees. Humidity levels will be high and there could be a bit of rain every now and then as well.
York is not Leeds and the Cricket Club is not Headingley but this will still be a strong batting surface on Sunday. A par score will be over 180 on Sunday afternoon.
The pitch in York is often quicker towards the start than the end of a game and we predict that both captains will want to bat first when they go out for the toss on Sunday.
Yorkshire have been over-reliant on Dawid Malan during this campaign and even if he scores big, they are likely to be in trouble again in this match. Durham have a strong team spirit and we are backing them to get another victory on Sunday.
We are backing Durham to win!
