The Rose Bowl

Hampshire and Essex’s County Championship Division One fixture is going to be held on August 22, 2024, at The Rose Bowl, Southampton. The action will kick off at 3:30 P.M IST.

Hampshire vs Essex Chances of Winning

Hampshire fought tooth and nail against Kent last time around and it paid off as they were able to take home their third win of the season. Hampshire’s batters could hardly be stopped as they posted 505 runs on the board and declared the total for Kent to chase down. Skipper James Vince and wicket-keeper batter Ben Brown banded together to score 211 and 110 runs, respectively, which was the reason for the team’s insurmountable score. Kent managed 343 runs in the first innings and added 340 runs to the tally while following on, leaving Hampshire with a relatively low fourth innings chase. The latter scored 180 to finish in style and achieve a six-wicket victory, largely thanks to Liam Dawson’s unbeaten 56, Fletcha Middleton’s 39 and James Vince’s 32.

Essex’s poor display against Surrey in their previous match cost them victory and they ended up suffering their second defeat of the season. The latter’s score of 262 in the first innings was not a challenging total to chase down and Essex had the opportunity to snatch the lead but they squandered it by getting bundled out for 180. Barring Paul Walter’s 64 and Matt Critchley’s 48, the rest were a no-show and it gave Surrey the edge to score an additional 278 runs. Once again, Essex’s batting lineup did virtually nothing with the exception of Dean Elgar and Paul Walter who scored 60 and 56 runs, respectively. As they were dismissed for 215, they handed Surrey a 145-run win.

Hampshire vs Essex Betting Tips

James Vince, Hampshire’s captain, comes in at two-down but has been their most prolific and destructive batter this season. With two centuries and two half-centuries under his belt, he has the potential to go hammer and tongs against Essex’s bowling attack and give them a run for their money.

Dean Elgar has been a stellar opener for Essex so far and stands at the top of the team’s run charts. After 15 innings, he is averaging at 54.78 and has garnered two centuries and a whopping five half-centuries. Considering the form he has been in, the seasoned batter is expected to put on a big showing against Hampshire.

The Rose Bowl has a batting surface which supports big totals. Even though chases are possible here, batting first gives teams an edge and allows them to play their strokes freely. In the five matches hosted here in the season thus far, the toss winners opted to bat first on four occasions and the same is expected in the next game, too.

Hampshire vs Essex Betting Odds

Essex to have a better opening partnership than Hampshire

Hampshire’s opening wicket, consisting Toby Albert and Fletcha Middleton, has been mediocre for the most part barring a few instances of boom. Together, the pair have added 19, 41, 17, 1 and 51 runs to the first wicket in the last three fixtures. Nick Browne and Dean Elgar have been better in this regard and their partnerships of 12, 11, 27, 23 and 146 in the last three games for Essex have benefitted the team greatly, making them the favored opening duo in the upcoming match.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Hampshire

After nine games in the tournament, Essex and Hampshire are almost evenly matched as they occupy third and fourth place, respectively, on the Division One table. Essex have a mild edge with four wins while Hampshire are behind with three victories but the latter have a better trajectory overall, especially since all of their wins were ridiculously dominant. Hampshire are in much more convincing form than their upcoming rivals and are absolutely favored by the bookmakers to surpass Essex.
