2016 has been the most memorable season for the Durham Jets when they made it to the finals day of the tournament. They, however, could not win the title and finished runners-up as they lost to Northamptonshire Steelbacks in the final.
The Jets had a pretty good tournament last time as well – they won nine and lost four out of their thirteen completed matches to finish second on the North Group points table. They advanced to the knockout round but a five-wicket loss to Sussex in the quarter-final at the Chester-le-Street ended their campaign.
Tom Latham was the leading run-getter for Durham last year with 470 runs while Australian pacer Nathan Rimmington finished amongst the tournament’s top five bowlers with 22 wickets.
