Derbyshire vs Middlesex Chances of Winning
Derbyshire suffered an embarrassing loss at the hands of Northamptonshire in their previous match and they have no one to blame but themselves. Northamptonshire had a below par first innings with just 219 runs on the board which, ideally, Derbyshire should have kept up with. However, the latter made an even bigger blunder by getting bowled out for 165 which put them in a deficit; Luis Reece and Wayne Madsen kept the team’s innings afloat by contributing 50 and 47 runs, respectively. In the third innings, Northamptonshire did not quite build a commanding lead since they were only able to score an additional 211 runs. It was still a doable task for Derbyshire had they put their head in the game but they were absolutely not making it work. Wayne Madsen’s unbeaten 48 was the only noteworthy innings and ultimately, Northamptonshire took victory by 133 runs.
Middlesex, too, suffered an unfortunate loss against Gloucestershire in the last match which cost them second place on the points table. They started off with a brilliant batting performance, having notched up 377 runs. Jack Davies, Max Holden and Joshua De Caires were particularly impactful as they scored 91, 77 and 64 runs, respectively. Gloucestershire did not catch up to this total as they declared after scoring 309 and Middlesex had the chance to run away with the lead but they failed to do so, having been bowled out for 165. Gloucestershire were not too far behind at this point and they snatched victory by piling on 236 runs, winning by four wickets.

Derbyshire vs Middlesex Betting Tips
Derbyshire to score low before first dismissal
Harry Came and Luis Reece seem to be off their game and the regression of Derbyshire’s first wicket stands has put additional pressure on the team. The pair have been scraping the bottom of the barrel with scores of 19, 7, 1, 46, 21, 27, 2, 0, 26 and 15 runs in the previous five fixtures. This is absolutely abhorrent and their partnership will likely continue to suffer unless they bring about a drastic change.

Derbyshire vs Middlesex Betting Odds
Middlesex to have a better opening partnership than Derbyshire
Harry Came and Luis Reece are yet to do something praiseworthy for Derbyshire’s first wicket and the totals they have produced in the last three matches are not something to write home about, having scored 19, 7, 1, 46, 21 and 27 runs before first dismissal. They are, undoubtedly, at a disadvantage against Middlesex’s openers who have been much more reliable with first wicket stands of 0, 34, 61, 59 and 26 runs in the previous three fixtures. Based on these performances, Middlesex’s opening order will be relied upon in the upcoming game.

Derbyshire vs Middlesex Best Batters
Wayne Madsen to be Derbyshire’s Best Batter
Wayne Madsen narrowly missed out on two half-centuries in both innings during the previous match against Northamptonshire. He scored 47 in the first innings and upped himself a tad by scoring 48 runs in the second innings. With 848 runs in 20 innings and an average of 47.11, he is Derbyshire’s top run scorer and will be expected to come out on top again.
Ryan Higgins to be Middlesex’s Best Batter
Ryan Higgins has been truly phenomenal all season and has amassed a total of 1089 runs in 16 innings. In the last match against Gloucestershire, he was a bit of a let down as he scored a mere 20 and six runs. However, he will be anticipated to bounce back and come good in the next encounter.
Derbyshire vs Middlesex Best Bowlers
Zak Chappell to be Derbyshire’s Best Bowler
Zak Chappell was more or less balanced in the last game against Northamptonshire along with the other bowlers who were all pulling their weight. He picked two wickets in the first innings and added one more wicket to the tally in the following innings. He has 28 wickets in 15 innings and remains the top pick for the upcoming fixture.
Toby Roland-Jones to be Middlesex’s Best Bowler
Toby Roland-Jones achieved his fifth fifer of the season in the last outing against Gloucestershire during the first innings where he delivered 24 overs. In the following 17-over spell, he did not claim any more wickets but remains at the top with 42 wickets in 17 innings. With a bowling average of 25.64, he is the leading choice for the next game.
