Middlesex vs Nottinghamshire Match Prediction
Great Britain
Lord's
Middlesex were placed 2nd in County Championship Division Two 2022 and got promoted to Division One in 2023. On the other hand, Nottinghamshire were placed in Division Two. They topped the 10-team table last year with eight wins in 14 matches. They have been promoted to Division One this season.
Facts
- Middlesex's Ryan Higgins scored 70 runs in the first innings and picked three wickets against Northamptonshire.
- Middlesex captain Toby Roland-Jones scored 42 runs and picked five wickets against Northamptonshire.
- Ben Duckett scored 75 and 15 runs across the two innings for Nottinghamshire in the last match.
Middlesex vs Nottinghamshire Chance of Winning
Nottinghamshire will enter the match as the favourites. Middlesex have lost each of their first two matches and their consistent batting failure is a big concern. Their first match against Essex saw them get bundled out for 170 and 210. In the following match, they managed to post just 149 and 167 runs on the board.
The bowling unit of the team also lacks any big name and that could make the job really easy for Nottinghamshire batting unit consisting of big names like Haseeb Hameed, Ben Duckett, Steven Mullaney, Ben Slater and Joe Clarke.
Stuart Broad also turned up for Nottinghamshire in their last match against Somerset which they won by 165 runs. Veteran South Africa pacer Dane Paterson and Brett Hutton form a formidable pace trio and there is left-arm spinner Liam Patterson-White also to support them.
Middlesex have lost their first two matches and the upcoming contest will also not be an easy one for them.
Middlesex chances of winning - 43.10% (Melbet)
Nottinghamshire chances of winning - 62.89% (Melbet)

Middlesex batting unit is in tatters and they don't even have a bowling unit which can give them a major reprieve. The road ahead is tough for them.
