Kennington Oval

Surrey and Worcestershire are poised to take on each other in the County Championship Division One from May 17 to May 20, 2024. The sides will meet at Kennington Oval, London, with the action kicking off at 3:30 P.M IST.

Surrey vs Worcestershire Chances of Winning

Surrey showed Warwickshire the way out after an intense contest between the two on the former’s home soil. Surrey put Warwickshire to bat first and allowed the latter to pile on 343 runs before their final wicket was taken. Surrey’s chase panned out as expected since they surpassed Warwickshire’s total and added 464 runs to the board, which left Warwickshire with a lot of grunt work to be done. The Birmingham-based side batted again and went past Surrey’s total but not by much, having scored 209 runs in their second innings. Surrey’s victory was inevitable at this point given that they had to make up a deficit of 89 runs which they achieved with immense ease and brought home a victory by nine wickets.

Worcestershire were unstoppable in their last match against Kent where the former scored 618 runs as the visiting team, having lost seven wickets along the way before they declared. They had a sure shot chance at victory but were bogged down by time. Worcestershire’s bowlers did not deal much damage to Kent who had the fighting spirit to tackle the opposition’s blows, considering they were able to score 407 runs in the first innings. Kent followed on and added 146 runs to the tally but the sides did not get to put a satisfying end to their battle as they ran out of time.

Surrey vs Worcestershire Betting Tips

Surrey to score high before first dismissal

Surrey’s opening pair have knocked it out of the park with their exceptional partnerships and what’s most impressive of all is their ability to deal in boundaries in this format of the game. Rory Burns and Dominic Sibley are a force to be reckoned with and they have proved time and again that it is not an easy task to break up their partnership. Together, the duo have added 88, 65, 4, 147, 167 and 90 runs to the first wicket. This is no mean feat and their consistency makes it all the more remarkable. They are confidently endorsed to post a brilliant opening stand on the scoreboard before one of them departs from the crease.

Surrey vs Worcestershire Toss Prediction

Kennington Oval has played host to three matches in the tournament so far and all three times, the home side won the toss and opted to field first. To their luck, it worked two out of three times as the first match between Surrey and Somerset concluded in a draw. Subsequently, Surrey demolished Hampshire and Warwickshire on home soil by chasing down the totals set by their rivals. They have made it clear that chasing is the best option on this surface and the toss winner will opt for it in a heartbeat.

Surrey vs Worcestershire Betting Odds

Surrey to have a better opening partnership than Worcestershire

Rory Burns and Dominic Sibley have worked perfectly in unison to help Surrey establish competitive opening stands in the tournament so far, shown by their partnerships of 88, 65, 4 and 147 runs in the last three matches. Worcestershire’s openers pale in comparison to Surrey since they have scored 31, 23, 2 and 49 runs in their previous three fixtures. The difference between both pairs of openers is glaringly obvious, with Surrey’s opening duo hogging the lead on all occasions. It is quite clear that Surrey are set to outclass Worcestershire in terms of first wicket partnership in their upcoming match.

Surrey vs Worcestershire Best Batters

Jamie Smith to be Surrey’s Best Batter

Jamie Smith has played fewer innings than some of his teammates but still ranks third among the run scorers with 322 runs in five innings, especially thanks to his brilliant century against Warwickshire in the last outing where he scored 155 runs. He has also achieved two half-centuries and maintains an average of 64.40 so far, making him the top choice for the upcoming game as well.

Gareth Roderick to be Worcestershire’s Best Batter

Gareth Roderick has finally found his footing with two successive centuries in the last two matches. He scored 122 runs against Somerset and 117 runs against Kent in the previous encounter. He has a total of 347 in seven innings and after his display against Kent, he will be anticipated to come out on top in the next match.

Surrey vs Worcestershire Best Bowlers

Cameron Steel to be Surrey’s Best Bowler

Cameron Steel had an off-day against Warwickshire in their last match where he did not claim any wickets in his solitary spell. This is incredibly uncharacteristic of him since he is their leading wicket-taker with 21 wickets in seven innings and has a bowling average of 14.85 . Given his caliber, he will be expected to bounce back and be the team’s top bowler once more.

Nathan Smith to be Worcestershire’s Best Bowler

Nathan Smith leads the way for Worcestershire’s bowling unit with 15 wickets in seven innings so far. He picked one wicket in each of the two innings against Kent in the last match. He also maintains a bowling average of 23.40 and will be the top choice for the next game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Surrey

Surrey’s form at the beginning of their campaign was uncertain given that their first two matches were drawn. After this, it became increasingly clear that Surrey’s winning form is here to stay and they have made a case for themselves with three back-to-back victories, making them the table toppers in the County Championship Division One ranking. Worcestershire, despite their impressive showings, are a lowly seventh in the standings with absolutely no victories in five matches. They have neither regressed nor made any progress and overcoming Surrey seems a long way off, especially as they are the visitors in the next fixture where Surrey have staked their claim.

• Surrey to win @ 1.25 (Parimatch)
