Hampshire vs Kent Chances of Winning
Hampshire had a rather cutthroat encounter against Warwickshire in the last match where the former opted to bat first and scored 298 runs. Opener Fletcha Middleton did most of the destruction with a knock of 74 while Liam Dawson, Nick Gubbins and Keith Barker pitched in 46, 44 and 40 runs, respectively. Warwickshire made it quite close during their chase but did not get past Hampshire’s total, having been bowled out for 254 runs. The second time around, Hampshire made sure Warwickshire did not stand a chance as they posted 453 runs on the board, largely owing to James Vince’s unbeaten 166 and Liam Dawson’s 120. Fletcha Middleton was not remiss this time either since he notched up 58 runs and Nick Gubbins aided the team with his contribution of 47 runs. Hampshire’s bowlers were on the verge of dismissing Warwickshire entirely in the fourth innings but a lack of time forced a stalemate.
Kent have absolutely no excuse for their horrendous performance against Lancashire in the last game. Kent were the first to bat but things went south as they found themselves bundled out for 244 with Tawanda Muyeye and Ben Compton as the top scorers, having amassed 59 and 55 runs, respectively. Lancashire ran away with the lead as they scored 549 and declared the target. Ideally, Kent would have been able to regain the advantage but continuing in their streak of poor displays, they were bowled out for 222 which led to a defeat by an innings and 83 runs.
- Hampshire chance of winning - 67%

Hampshire vs Kent Betting Tips
Hampshire to score low before first dismissal
Ali Orr and Fletcha Middleton have not been able to deliver for Hampshire as they constitute the opening order so the former was replaced by a budding Toby Albert. There was an upswing in performance during his first game but the opening wicket continues to fall prey to the brunt of the opposition’s attack. The previous five games have witnessed first wicket stands of 17, 1, 51, 0, 9, 48, 8, 8 and 21 from Hampshire. Despite the occasional big knock, their lack of consistency has been their folly and it is unlikely that they will resolve this problem so drastically.
Hampshire vs Kent Toss Prediction
The Rose Bowl is a batting pitch through and through with a wicket that is incredibly conducive to massive scores. Three out of four matches played here this season were drawn while the last game was won by the chasing side. However, this is an anomaly since batting first is generally the preferred strategy at this venue and the toss winner of the upcoming game is not likely to be influenced by this one-off result. Whichever side wins the toss is going to want to bat first.
Weather Report
Mostly cloudy skies are forecasted for match day with a 20% chance of precipitation. The temperature is expected to touch 20 degrees Celsius.

Hampshire vs Kent Betting Odds
Kent to have a better opening partnership than Hampshire
Toby Albert’s arrival as an opener showed promise in the first match but did not help much thereafter. His partnership with Fletcha Middleton has not flourished just yet but at this juncture, it is difficult to vouch for them. The last three games have seen Hampshire amass opening totals of 17, 1, 51, 0 and 9 runs. Kent, on the other hand, have done a marginally better job in this aspect, having achieved first wicket stands of 33, 14, 24, 1, 8 and 194 runs. With Ben Compton as their mainstay and Marcus O'Riordan on the other end, Kent’s openers are anticipated to set the team up for a big total.

Hampshire vs Kent Best Batters
Liam Dawson to be Hampshire’s Best Batter
Liam Dawson is the second highest run-getter for Hampshire with 511 runs in ten innings and an average of 51.10. He missed out on what would have been his fourth half-century of the season as he was dismissed for 46 in the first innings against Warwickshire. However, he more than made up for this with a brilliant knock of 120 in the second innings, making it his first century this season. He is the top pick for the next game.
Charlie Stobo to be Kent’s Best Batter
Charlie Stobo participated in his first match of the season against Lancashire where he amassed precisely 100 runs in two innings. He scored 36 runs in the first innings and 64 runs in the second innings. Having achieved a half-century in his first match alone, he is expected to continue to be in brilliant form and come out on top.
Hampshire vs Kent Best Bowlers
Keith Barker to be Hampshire’s Best Bowler
Keith Barker has taken 11 wickets in six innings this season, eight of which were captured in the last match against Warwickshire. He bagged a six-wicket haul in the first innings and added two more to the tally in the following innings. He also has an average of 26.63 and an overall economy rate of 2.79. He remains the top choice for the next match.
Matt Parkinson to be Kent’s Best Bowler
Matt Parkinson leads Kent’s bowling attack with 20 wickets in nine innings. He was tied as the second highest wicket-taker in the previous encounter against Lancashire, having claimed two wickets in 40 overs while having achieved an economy rate of 3.35. He is the leading pick for the next fixture, too.
