Lancashire vs Hampshire Chance of Winning
Lancashire and Hampshire have had contrasting campaigns thus far. We saw Lancashire lose crucial points in the first two fixtures as games were called off due to rain. On other hand, we saw Hampshire continue their form from last campaign and bagged three wins in the first three games of the season. This would be a great game for the neutrals considering the fact both teams are separated by just two points and a result in this fixture can have a significant impact on the points table. As per our calculations, Hampshire have a slight edge as they head into this fixture.

Lancashire vs Hampshire Betting Odds
Hampshire to have a better opening partnership than Lancashire
In every Hampshire game we have raved about Hampshire openers and how they have dominated the proceeding thus far. Once again they did not disappoint in the last outing against Leicestershire, even though they lost the game, Hampshire constituted a wonderful 89 runs opening stand. This is a third half century opening stand that Hampshire have managed in four games. In three of the four games Hampshire have managed a better opening partnership than their opponent and apart from season opener, they have conceded less than 10 runs in each of the last three games. After the first two games were washed out, Lancashire managed an opening stand of 15 and 37 in the last two games and in the last game conceded a staggering 159 runs opening stand which makes us believe Hampshire openers would outplay Lancashire top order and it should outlay a great return for your investment.
Lancashire vs Hampshire Top Team Batters
Dane Vilas to be Lancashire’s top batter
Dane Vilas has been an absolute rock for Lancashire this season. With three half centuries in three innings, Vilas is the leading run scorer for this team and more importantly has played important innings when it mattered the most which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.
Nick Gubbins to be Hampshire’s top batter
Nick Gubbins continued his sensational form with a solid 42 runs in the last game and has scored 264 runs in four games thus far. With one half century and a century in four games, Gubbins have had an outstanding season so far and it our top pick for the upcoming game.
Lancashire vs Hampshire Top Team Bowlers
Jack Blatherwick to be Lancashire’s top bowler
Jack Blatherwick has had a phenomenal campaign thus far. In three games, Blatherwick has bagged eight wickets and is the leading wicket taker for Lancashire thus far. In the last game where Lancashire conceded over 400 runs, Blatherwick still ended up with respectable bowling figures of 3/70 which makes him our top pick for the game.
Ian Holland to be Hampshire’s top bowler
Hampshire haven’t had one bowler who has exceeded the expectations as all bowlers have made contributions in the first four games which makes this a difficult choice. Even though Hampshire lost the last game, Ian Holland was impressive as he ended up with 2/38 which makes him our top pick for the game.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Hampshire
Yes skill is one of the most essential components which is required to win a game of cricket but it's not the only ingredient, you need some luck, which Lancashire had none in the first two fixtures as both games were called off and points were shared. After a win against Kent, Lancashire stumbled against Leicestershire as they conceded a mammoth 411 runs. Keaton Jennings scored a century but could not complete the chase as Hampshire was bowled out for 316 in the 43rd over. After a flawless start to the season, Hampshire surrendered their winning run and their impeccable home record to high flying Leicestershire who were just brilliant on the day. Hampshire were restricted to 296 after a remarkable spell from Josh Hull. Leicestershire managed to chase the target with ease as they won the game with four wickets to spare.
This would be a tough game to call as on paper both teams look pretty well matched which is probably why even the bookmakers are sitting on the edge on this one. We believe both teams would want to put their losses on the back burner as this game could make or break their campaign. We believe Hampshire head into this fixture with more depth and variations than Lancashire which could be the deciding factor in this game.
- Lancashire to win @ 1.87 (PariMatch)
- Hampshire to win @ 1.86 (PariMatch)
