Kennington Oval

Hampshire will take on Surrey in their 2nd match of the County Championship Division One 2023 season at the Oval from Thursday, April 13. The match is slated to start at 3:30 PM IST. Hampshire finished third in the County Championship Division One in the 2022 season. Surrey won the championship.

Surrey vs Hampshire Match Prediction

Hampshire were bundled out for 231 in the first innings and against Nottinghamshire but that was the only low point for them in the match. The stupendous bowling effort from the side saw them register a 8-wicket win. Mohammad Abbas picked a five-wicket haul in the first innings, while Kyle Abbott picked four wickets in the second innings. James Fuller picked a couple of wickets in the first innings, while Keith Barker picked two wickets in the second innings.

The batting unit also looks strong in the presence of Nick Gubbins, James Vince, and Liam Dawson.

Surrey, on the other hand, settled for a draw against a strong Lancashire attack. They posted 442 runs in the first innings, and declared at 292/6 in the second innings. Cameron Steel slammed a first-innings hundred, while Ben Foakes hit 103 off 95 in the second innings.

The bowling unit also did a great job by restricting a very strong Lancashire line-up to 291 in the first innings. Sean Abbott picked a five-fer in the first innings. Kemar Roach, Daniel Worrall and Jordan Clark settled for 1, 2 and one wicket respectively. The three bowlers picked a wicket each in the second innings as well.

Making a choice among two is a difficult task but choosing Surrey for a superior batting line-up would be a wise decision. The likes of Rory Burns, Dom Sibley, Ollie Pope, Ben Foakes, Jamie Smith and Cameron Steel form a formidable batting line-up.

Hampshire Predicted XI

Hampshire Team Form

They have some great individual players, but their middle order has been inconsistent. To win against Surrey, they will need their top order to perform and their bowlers to pick up early wickets. Kyle Abbott will play a vital role in leading the bowling attack, but the rest of the bowlers need to support him. They can use spin to their advantage as Surrey has struggled against spin in the past. Hampshire can also try to restrict Surrey's top order by bowling a tight line and length. If they can pick up early wickets, they will put Surrey under pressure and have a better chance of winning.

Surrey Predicted XI

Surrey Team Form

Surrey's team form has been good this season, with some impressive performances from their top-order batsmen. However, their bowling has been inconsistent and has let them down at some stages in the first game. Overall, Surrey seems to have a better-balanced team than Hampshire, with a strong batting lineup and a decent bowling attack. However, they need to ensure consistency in their bowling, and their middle-order batting can be a concern. To win the match, Surrey needs to put up a big score and pick up wickets at regular intervals. Hampshire, on the other hand, needs their top order to perform and their bowlers to support Kyle Abbott.

Surrey vs Hampshire Head to Head

Surrey and Hampshire have faced each other five times in the last few years. Surrey has won 2 of those matches, while Hampshire has won two as well with one game ending in a draw. Last year Surrey won the game by innings and 17 runs.

Surrey vs Hampshire Betting Odds

Surrey to win

Both teams have their strengths and weaknesses, but Surrey seems to have a better chance of winning this match. With a strong top order, they can put up a big score. The likes of Burns, Sibley, Foakes and Pope have the experience of international level as well and they would pose a strong challenge for the Hampshire bowlers.

Hampshire too have a strong batting line-up but not as strong as Surrey’s. Also, they were rolled over for 231 in the first innings against Nottinghamshire. They did recover in the second innings but they will have to be very wary of the threats from West Indies and Australia internationals Roach and Abbot respectively.
