Durham vs Hampshire Chances of Winning
Durham’s previous match against Middlesex was unfortunately abandoned due to an incessant downpour but their performance prior to that against Northamptonshire was quite impressive. Durham’s bowlers pulled together and bundled out the opposition for 260 runs. It was not the easiest score to chase but Durham’s batters kept their heads down and played a mature innings. With the openers out early in the innings, skipper Alex Lees was there to offer some stability alongside Colin Ackermann. Both of them stayed out of trouble and scored 55 and 108 runs, respectively, which lifted the burden off the other batters. Scott Borthwick’s subsequent 42 lightened things further and Durham were able to cruise to victory with four wickets in hand.
Hampshire’s victory over Derbyshire in the last encounter was highly successful and they reiterated just how powerful they are. They batted first in their home ground and posted a formidable total of 295 runs. The entire batting lineup made sure to contribute as much as they could while Joe Weatherley was the standout player, having scored 93 runs. Skipper Nick Gubbins was a close second with 62 runs and they were able to give the bowlers something to work with. Derbyshire barely lasted a whole 36 overs before getting bowled out for 152 which allowed Hampshire to bring home a comfortable 143-run victory.

Durham vs Hampshire Betting Tips
Durham to score low before first dismissal
Barring Durham’s first match of the season where Alex Lees and Ben McKinney notched up 87 runs together, the opening wicket saw a steep decline in the following matches. The pair opened two more fixtures together and secured partnerships of 0 and 40 runs. However, in the previous match, Michael Jones took over to open alongside Ben McKinney and they ended up with a stand of 22 runs. There is a lot of uncertainty surrounding Durham’s first wicket and they are expected to put up a subpar performance in the next match as well.

Durham vs Hampshire Betting Odds
Hampshire to have a better opening partnership than Durham
Alex Lees and Ben McKinney were the mainstay openers for Durham before the skipper promoted Michael Jones to the top in the last game. Durham have had substandard opening partnerships so far, having secured totals of 22, 40 and 0 in the previous three matches. For Hampshire, Fletcha Middleton has been the linchpin opener but skipper Nick Gubbins demoted himself down the order to accommodate Joe Weatherley in the last two games. Now that the latter has settled in, Hampshire were able to achieve a stand of 44 runs in the last match. The bookmakers rally behind Hampshire’s openers to outgun Durham’s first partnership in the next match.
Durham vs Hampshire Best Batters
Alex Lees to be Durham’s Best Batter
Alex Lees achieved his first half-century of the season in the last game against Northamptonshire. The skipper scored 55 runs which boosted his total to 184 runs in four innings, making him the team’s leading batter. With an average of 46.00, he is expected to be their standout batter.
Joe Weatherley to be Hampshire’s Best Batter
After Joe Weatherley’s disastrous first innings where he was dismissed for one, he had a remarkable outing in the last match against Derbyshire where he missed out on his century as he scored 93 runs. With an average of 47.00, he is the top pick for the upcoming fixture.
Durham vs Hampshire Best Bowlers
Paul Coughlin to be Durham’s Best Bowler
Paul Coughlin has constantly been Durham’s linchpin in the bowling department and in four innings so far, he has picked nine wickets. He was tied as the top bowler for the team in their previous outing against Northamptonshire where he took two wickets in 9.2 overs with an economy rate of 6.00. He is anticipated to come out on top in the upcoming match, too.
Brad Wheal to be Hampshire’s Best Bowler
Brad Wheal continues to be Hampshire’s leading wicket-taker with nine wickets in five innings and a brilliant bowling average of 17.66. He was the second highest bowler in their last outing against Derbyshire, having picked two wickets in seven overs coupled with an impressive economy rate of 3.57. He will be expected to lead the charge for the team in the next match against Durham.
