Hampshire vs Worcestershire Chances of Winning
Hampshire were inching towards their fifth victory of the season in their previous encounter against Kent but their charge was abruptly cut short. Hampshire’s batters were on the money with their total of 403, owing to the likes of Tom Prest, James Vince and Brad Wheal who scored 102, 88 and 61 runs, respectively. Kent’s first attempt was not even a mild threat to Hampshire as the former were all out for 207 and the second time around, they posted 338 runs. Since they now had the lead, it was Hampshire’s chance to turn things around and get the win. It was not a major target but just as they started their chase, their allotted four days had lapsed and a stalemate was reached.
Worcestershire were on the verge of edging out the fourth win of their ongoing campaign against Warwickshire but they did not have enough time. The former started by securing a total of 307 in the first innings which was largely helped by Brett D'Oliveira and Matthew Waite who amassed 76 and 53 runs, respectively. Somehow, this was enough to give Warwickshire a challenge as the latter were dismissed for 128 in the first innings. They were much better while following on, having scored 252/3 before the game was called off and the sides had to settle for a draw.
- Hampshire chance of winning - 63%

Hampshire vs Worcestershire Betting Tips
Worcestershire to score low before first dismissal
There has been a steady downtrend in Worcestershire’s opening partnerships and the unpredictability of their stands makes it difficult to place faith in their ability to deliver a mature partnership for the team. Taking their previous five matches into account wherein they posted totals of 19, 7, 3, 89, 13, 15, 56, 30 and 33 runs, there is a noticeable decline in performance. This puts them at a disadvantage against Hampshire’s bowlers and a scant first wicket partnership is a very real possibility.

Hampshire vs Worcestershire Betting Odds
Hampshire to have a better opening partnership than Worcestershire
Neither Hampshire nor Worcestershire have been particularly prolific in terms of opening stands but the former have shown a smidgen more consistency than Worcestershire. Gareth Roderick and Jake Libby are long-established openers for Worcestershire and they have collaborated for partnerships of 19, 7, 3, 89 and 13 runs in the three games prior to this. While Hampshire have not done significantly better, Toby Albert and Fletcha Middleton have added 20, 14, 7 and 20 runs to the first wicket in the last three matches. Since the range of their partnerships are more predictable, they are favored over Worcestershire’s openers.

Hampshire vs Worcestershire Best Batters
Tom Prest to be Hampshire’s Best Batter
Tom Prest has been creeping his way to the top and his third ton of the season in the last match against Kent certainly aided his quest. He scored 102 runs in their only innings which boosted his overall total to 520 runs in nine innings and an average of 65.00. With three centuries and a half-century under his belt, he is the leading choice against Worcestershire.
Brett D'Oliveira to be Worcestershire’s Best Batter
Brett D'Oliveira accumulated his sixth half-century of the present season in the last encounter against Warwickshire. He was the team’s top scorer with 76 runs and has a grand total of 494 runs in 13 innings. With his average of 41.16, he is expected to come out on top in the next match as well.
Hampshire vs Worcestershire Best Bowlers
Liam Dawson to be Hampshire’s Best Bowler
Liam Dawson had an unusual outing as he returned with a single wicket across two innings against Kent. However, despite having hit a small snag along the way, he remains the team’s leading bowler with 43 wickets in 18 innings. Moreover, he is averaging at 26.09 which makes him a top contender for the upcoming game.
Tom Taylor to be Worcestershire’s Best Bowler
As predicted for the last match, Tom Taylor emerged as Worcestershire’s top bowler in the last outing against Warwickshire. His first spell of 11 overs was particularly impressive as he bagged a whopping six-wicket haul and he took another wicket in the following innings. He has 23 wickets in nine innings and has a hefty lead over the other bowlers which makes him a lucrative pick for the next game, too.
