They topped the 10-team table last year with eight wins in 14 matches.

Hampshire vs Nottinghamshire Match Prediction

After a brilliant 2022 season Nottinghamshire have been promoted to the Division One where they will face Hampshire in the first match of the season. Hampshire had a decent run in the last season but they will be subject to a tough Test against Nottinghamshire in the opening match.

Hampshire lost their last two matches in the previous season. Nottinghamshire topped the Division Two table and also finished on high after winning their last match against Durham by a massive 462-run margin.

The likes of M Montgomery, BM Duckett, JM Clarke, SJ Mullaney, OP Stone, JT Ball featured in the rain-marred pre-season match recently. The side is very likely to topple Hampshire who lack the firepower of Nottinghamshire.
