Sussex vs Hampshire Chances of Winning

Sussex remain a middling team in the tournament and their subpar performance against Yorkshire solidified their position as a mediocre side this season. The former were bundled out for a mere 222 runs in the first innings where Danny Lamb’s 48, James Coles’ 47 and Tom Alsop’s 40 were the top scores. Their score was overcome by Yorkshire who posted 545 runs on the board before declaring, and that put further pressure on Sussex. In their second innings with the bat, the Hove-based team were bowled out for a measly total of 195 which handed them a pasting by a margin of an innings and 128 runs.

Hampshire are a middling team, too, but they have limited damage by conceding fewer defeats. Their previous game against Worcestershire was quite competitive as the former scored 293 runs; openers Fletcha Middleton and Joe Weatherley led from the front with 79 and 62 runs, respectively, while Tom Prest’s 54 and James Fuller’s 41 were valuable contributions. They allowed Worcestershire to score 249 runs which gave Hampshire the push to extend their lead by 313 runs before declaring - this time, the entire team pitched in and Nick Gubbins’s 84 was the standout performance. The bowlers were on the verge of bundling out the opposition but a shortage of time prevented a conclusive result between the sides.

Sussex vs Hampshire Betting Tips

Hampshire to score over 23.5 before first dismissal @ 1.87 (Batery)

Although Hampshire’s first wicket has undergone several changes this season, Fletcha Middleton has remained their only recurring opener. In the last five matches, he has opened alongside Joe Weatherley, Ali Orr and Mark Stoneman, and the team’s opening partnerships have certainly improved with time. They added 144, 37, 94, 19, 54, 34, 0 and 38 runs to the first wicket, and they are expected to secure another stellar stand in the upcoming fixture.

Sussex vs Hampshire Toss Prediction

The teams batting first have the upper hand at County Ground in Hove, having won two out of five matches this season while those chasing have one victory. Further, the toss winners favored batting first on three occasions while the average stand of 326 with the first bat is quite competitive. For the next game, too, both sides will vie to set the target.

Weather Report

A mild 20% possibility of rain is predicted at Hove with mostly sunny skies and a maximum temperature of 19 degrees Celsius.

Sussex vs Hampshire Betting Odds

Hampshire to have a better opening partnership than Sussex

Sussex’s first wicket has underperformed all season long as Daniel Hughes and Tom Haines are not quite pulling their weight. In the last three games, they set up substandard scores of 19, 12, 28, 3 and 98 runs together before the first dismissal. On the other hand, Hampshire’s Joe Weatherley and Fletcha Middleton have knocked it out of the park with impressive partnerships of 144, 37, 94, 19 and 54 runs in the previous three outings. The latter are, evidently, superior in this regard and will be favored to outdo Sussex’s opening wicket.

Sussex vs Hampshire Best Batters

James Coles to be Sussex’s Best Batter

James Coles was the second leading batter for Sussex in the first innings against Yorkshire with 47 runs and he faced a golden duck dismissal in the second innings. Nevertheless, he continues to be their leading run scorer for the team with 890 runs in 19 innings and an average of 49.44. He also has three tons and four half-centuries, making him the top choice for the next game.

Tilak Varma to be Hampshire’s Best Batter

Tilak Varma was not among the top contributors in the previous outing against Worcestershire, given that he scored five and 38 runs in the two innings. However, he has 358 runs in six innings which includes two tons and a half-century. Moreover, he has an impressive average of 59.66 and will be expected to come out on top in the upcoming fixture.

Sussex vs Hampshire Best Bowlers

Fynn Hudson-Prentice to be Sussex’s Best Bowler

In the last game against Yorkshire, Fynn Hudson-Prentice delivered a single spell where he was the second highest wicket-taker for Sussex with two wickets in 24 overs. He stands as their leading bowler overall with 23 wickets in 12 innings. His average of 29.56, though quite high, is the best of the lot and he is expected to be their premier bowler against Hampshire.

Kyle Abbott to be Hampshire’s Best Bowler

Kyle Abbott managed to pick a single wicket across two innings in the last encounter against Worcestershire but that has not affected his standing as their top wicket-taker overall, having bagged 42 wickets in 19 innings. His average of 21.52 is rather remarkable and he is anticipated to be their top bowler against Sussex in the next match.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Hampshire

Sussex and Hampshire are quite closely matched in the standings as they occupy sixth and fifth place, respectively, on the Division One points table. However, Sussex have four defeats this season while Hampshire have two and the latter have done their best to keep the damage to a minimum. Even though Sussex have a superior 4-1 record in their head-to-head tally, Hampshire are currently the better team to emerge victorious.
