Surrey vs Hampshire Betting Tips
Surrey to score high before first dismissal
Surrey came back with a vengeance after their first match against Lancashire was rudely interrupted. Rory Burns and Dom Sibley make their partnership look almost effortless as they kicked off their campaign with 167 runs on the board before their first dismissal. They were quite unrelenting in the second innings, too, as they posted 90 runs together. They continued this form in the previous match against Kent where the openers secured yet another successful partnership of 147 runs. Both of them are players to look out for in the upcoming game as well as they are projected to achieve another fruitful collaboration.

Hampshire Team Form
Hampshire are a middling team at the moment and they need to perform better, especially on the batting front, to stand a chance. There is a heavy reliance on the top order batters but the rest of them need to deliver as well.

Surrey vs Hampshire Betting Odds
Surrey to have a better opening partnership than Hampshire
Rory Burns and Dom Sibley played the long game for Surrey against Kent and in their quest for longevity, the pair kept their partnership alive for nearly 36 overs and scored 147 runs before it was broken. They made individual contributions of 69 runs and 150 runs, respectively. This was significantly better than what Hampshire managed against Warwickshire. Ali Orr and Fletcha Middleton’s partnership came to an untimely end after the former departed for four and a total of 16 runs were posted on the board. Despite the fact that Middleton’s innings was a major reason behind Hampshire staying afloat in the match, seeing as he scored 116 runs, Surrey seem to enter the fixture with a leg up on their rivals.

Dominic Sibley to be Surrey’s Best Batter
Dominic Sibley surpassed the rest of the team to secure the top spot as the run scorer with 260 runs in four innings. He notched up his second ton of the season against Kent where he scored 150 runs. He has been a destructive batter to go up against and he will be the top pick for the next game, just as he was for the previous match as well.
Nick Gubbins to be Hampshire’s Best Batter
Nick Gubbins leads Hampshire’s run charts with 238 runs in three innings. He achieved his first century of the season in the last match against Warwickshire, scoring 119 runs. Previously, he has also knocked two half-centuries and continues to wreak havoc on the opposition’s bowlers, making him a reliable player to take a punt on for the next match.

Cameron Steel to be Surrey’s Best Bowler
Cameron Steel was our top pick for the last match and we will stick with him after the incredible performance he displayed against Kent. He picked three wickets in each of the two innings he bowled to Kent. He leads the team’s bowling attack with 20 wickets in five innings so far.
Liam Dawson to be Hampshire’s Best Bowler
Liam Dawson was our top choice for the previous match and he delivered as expected. He started the match with a fifer in the first innings against Hampshire and he picked up two more wickets in the second innings. He is their top wicket-taker so far this season with 11 wickets in three innings and he remains the leading choice for the upcoming game, too.
