Yorkshire vs Sussex Match Prediction
First class
Headingley
Yorkshire were relegated to Division Two after a horrid run in the 2022 season. They won only one of their 14 matches and finished ninth in the 10-team Division One. Sussex had finished seventh in the County Championship Division Two in the 2022 season.
Facts
- Yorkshire are placed eighth in 8-team Division Two table. Unbeaten Sussex are occupying the third spot.
- Finlay Bean is the leading run-scorer for Yorkshire with 569 runs in seven matches.
- Tom Aslop has scored 569 runs in seven matches for Sussex.
Yorkshire vs Sussex Chance of Winning
Third-placed Sussex are red-hot favourites to beat Yorkshire in their next game. The two sides have met each other in the tournament once but the match ended in a draw. However, things have changed a lot since then.
While Sussex are still unbeaten, Yorkshire have lost two matches and are occupying the sixth spot. They have a lot of problems in both their departments. With Shan Masood also gone and Dawid Malan also not a regular. Four batters have scored over 300 runs but only two of them are averaging on the healthy side of 40.
In the bowling group, Jordan Thompson has not played the last two matches for his team. Matthew Fisher has picked just two wickets in the last two matches. Ben Coad is the pacer who has been delivering for them.
On the flip side, Sussex boasts of one of the strongest batting line-up in the County Championship 2023. Tom Aslop (569), Oli Carter (510), James Coles (581), Fynn Hudson-Prentice (465) and Tom Haines (432) have piled up handsome runs for the team.
Lack of firepower in the bowling department has denied unbeaten Sussex of a second win. However, the group looked pumped up in their last outing and would expect Henry Shipley, Aristidas Karvelas and Nathan McAndrew, Fynn Hudson-Prentice and off-spinner Jack Carson to come hard against Yorkshire.
Yorkshire chances of winning - 45%
Sussex chances of winning - 55%
Yorkshire vs Sussex Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Ollie Robinson will not be available for Sussex in the upcoming matches due to Ashes 2023 commitments and therefore the remaining pacers in the team will have to take more responsibility. Due to the lack of firepower in the bowling group, Sussex have been forced to settle for draws despite a very strong batting unit.
Matthew Fisher and Ben Coad will have to combine together to form a formidable pace duo for Yorkshire who have missed on winning opportunities due to the lack of firepower in their bowling department. The two joined hands together in the last match and almost won Yorkshire their second game of the season.

Yorkshire vs Sussex Betting Odds
Sussex to score over 300 runs in 1st innings
The Sussex unit has been in a blazing form. Leaving apart their second-last last match scores of 203 and 273/9, Sussex have scored 384/9, 402, 348, 447/7, 481, 1/0, 430 and 373 runs in their remaining last eight innings. The Yorkshire bowling unit does not have much firepower. Jordan Thompson hasn't played in the last two matches. Matthew Fisher and Ben Coad are the only two bowlers who have picked more than 20 wickets. Coad is the only bowler averaging under 25.
Cheteshwar Pujara could miss the match as he is in India, however, the likes of Tom Aslop (569), Oli Carter (510), James Coles (581), Fynn Hudson-Prentice (465) and Tom Haines (432) are expected to hold fort fort for the team once again and score over
300 runs in the first innings.

Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Sussex
Sussex are the favourites to Yorkshire in their upcoming match. The side is unbeaten in the season so far and its batting unit is one of the strongest in the tournament. Four batters have scored over 500 runs and two have crossed the 400-run mark. This is in complete contrast with Yorkshire who have just four batters who have crossed the 300-run mark out of which only two are averaging over 40.
Yorkshire to win - 1.80 (Parimatch)
Sussex to win - 1.95 (Parimatch)
