County Ground in Hove

From September 26 to 29, Sussex and Middlesex are going to meet in the County Championship Division Two at County Ground, Hove. Their encounter is slated to start at 3:00 P.M IST.

Facts:

  • Sussex’s John Simpson is the second highest run scorer of the County Championship Division Two with 1110 runs in 19 innings.
  • Middlesex’s Toby Roland-Jones stands as the second highest wicket-taker of the competition with 52 wickets in 19 innings.

Sussex vs Middlesex Chances of Winning

Sussex took down yet another rival to clinch their eighth win of the season, having beaten Gloucestershire in the last match. It was a breeze for Sussex right from the start as Gloucestershire batted first and scored just 109 runs. The Hove-based team gave the home side a run for their money and racked in 311 runs during their chase. Although this was a collective effort from the team, Jack Carson and John Simpson stood out with scores of 71 and 61, respectively. Under normal circumstances, this would not have been enough to keep Gloucestershire at bay but by some miracle, the latter found themselves all out for 195 in their second innings. This handed Sussex victory by an innings and seven runs.

Middlesex are doing their best to keep up with the table toppers and their victory over Derbyshire in the last match aided their quest. The latter’s batting capacity was only enough for them to post 173 runs on the board which Middlesex chased down with ease. Middlesex also went on to take the lead by a hefty margin as they secured a total of 358 runs. Mark Stoneman, Joshua De Caires and Max Holden amassed 115, 80 and 68 runs, respectively, to make this possible. Derbyshire had their work cut out for them but at this point, they had absolutely no hope of getting past Middlesex and they succumbed by an innings and 66 runs.

Sussex vs Middlesex Betting Odds

Sussex to have a better opening partnership than Middlesex

Sam Robson and Mark Stoneman’s partnership for Middlesex has been somewhat of a let down in the last three games, having posted totals of 0, 0, 34 and 61. They have not quite lived up to expectations and their deteriorating form has been a matter of concern. On the other hand, Sussex’s first wicket is absolutely thriving despite the changes they have made. With Tom Haines as their mainstay, the team boasts stellar opening scores of 27, 110 and 196 in the previous three fixtures. It is pretty clear that Sussex are vastly superior in this regard.

Sussex vs Middlesex Best Batters

John Simpson to be Sussex’s Best Batter

John Simpson is the leading batter for Sussex at the moment, having amassed 1110 runs in 19 innings with an average of 69.37. He scored his third half-century of the season against Gloucestershire last time out where he notched up 61 runs. The skipper remains the top choice for the next match as well.

Ryan Higgins to be Middlesex’s Best Batter

Ryan Higgins was not very helpful in the last game against Derbyshire where he departed for a measly four runs. However, he remains unparalleled at the top with 1093 runs in 17 innings and an average of 72.86. With five centuries and two half-centuries to his credit, he is the top pick for the match against Sussex.

Sussex vs Middlesex Best Bowlers

Jack Carson to be Sussex’s Best Bowler

Jack Carson has extended his lead at the top of Sussex’s standings with a total of 47 wickets under his belt in 21 innings and a bowling average of 22.91. His first spell of two overs against Gloucestershire in the previous match was wicketless but he went on to take two wickets in the second innings. He is anticipated to come out on top in the upcoming match.

Toby Roland-Jones to be Middlesex’s Best Bowler

Toby Roland-Jones has been on a relentless wicket-taking spree and he is absolutely invincible at present. In the last game versus Derbyshire, he achieved two back-to-back fifers to bolster his overall tally to 52 wickets in 19 innings with an average of 22.09. With seven fifers in the season thus far, he will be relied upon to be the team’s premier bowler once more.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Sussex

Sussex are deservedly the table toppers of the Division Two since they have consistently performed at the highest level to put themselves in an unattainable position. With eight wins in 13 matches, it is impossible for any other team to pose a threat or dethrone them from the top. On the other hand, Middlesex lost second place to Yorkshire but they are tied with five wins each so far. Although both teams are remarkable in their own right, Sussex are endorsed by the bookmakers to take their last win of the season.
  • Sussex to win @ 1.73 (Batery)
  • Middlesex to win @ 2.10 (Batery)
