Facts:

- 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 Tips
Sussex to score over 26.5 before first dismissal @ 1.87 (Batery)
With Tom Haines opening alongside Daniel Hughes, Sussex’s first wicket partnership was nearly impossible to break up and now that the latter has been replaced by Oli Carter, they are still able to make it work. In the last five games, the team has secured opening stands of 27, 110, 196, 5, 27, 29 and 19 runs. They are expected to continue performing at a high level in the last match of the season.

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.
