Middlesex vs Leicestershire Betting Tips
Middlesex to score high before 1st dismissal in 1st innings ( @ PARIMATCH)
Middlesex came prepared this season and can anticipate a place in Division 1 the next season. Middlesex have displayed stellar batting performances and dominated over the opponents in the last four games. Mark Stoneman and Nathan Fernandes open for the team currently and average at 30.00 & 32.40 respectively in the competition. The team has posted the scores of 79, 3,, 18 & 55 runs before their first dismissal in the 1st innings of their four outings. That looks pretty impressive where the openers have managed to sustain long innings in the competition. That said, they will look to continue the same in the next game and gather many runs for the opening partnership.
Middlesex vs Leicestershire Toss Prediction
Lords Cricket Ground in London is going to host the 17th match of English County Championship Division Two 2024 played between Middlesex and Leicestershire. The wickets at the Home of Cricket - Lord's have been even, assisting both batters and bowlers, especially the seamers like most wickets in England. James Anderson and Stuart Broad are the leading wicket-takers at the venue, having claimed over 200 wickets between them. The scoring has been high in the first and second innings of the match with teams scoring at an average of 300 runs, meaning the wickets are easier to bat in the early stages. But all will depend on the weather conditions as well as overcast conditions will favour the seamers. Both the teams will be keen to win the toss, bowl first and make use of moisture underneath the surface. The previous match played between Middlesex and Glamorgan ended in a high-scoring draw.
