Middlesex vs Nottinghamshire Chances of Winning

Middlesex suffered a significant setback in their recent match against Kent, where Kent won the toss and chose to bat first, setting a challenging target of 288. Despite their efforts, Middlesex couldn't successfully chase down the target and were dismissed in just 36.4 overs. This defeat adds to their losses against Essex and Hampshire.

Nottinghamshire, too, approaches this fixture following a defeat. Their previous match was against Surrey, and after winning the toss, Nottinghamshire opted to field first. Surrey managed to accumulate 244/7, but Nottinghamshire fell short by three runs according to the D/L method.

However, Nottinghamshire holds a stronger position for their upcoming match due to their two wins so far. In contrast, Middlesex is yet to secure their first victory, and given their present form, their chances seem unpromising.

Middlesex vs Nottinghamshire Betting Tips

Mark Stoneman, Middlesex's skipper, has undoubtedly been their standout performer this season. Leading their run charts, he has amassed an impressive 141 runs across three matches, with a top score of 93. Close on his heels is Ryan Higgins, displaying his exceptional all-round capabilities by contributing 124 runs and capturing four wickets in three matches. Additionally, two other batsmen, Joe Cracknell and John Simpson, have both crossed the 100-run milestone, recording 114 and 113 runs respectively.

Lyndon James has emerged as Nottinghamshire's standout batsman this season, showcasing exceptional performances. Across four matches, he has gathered an impressive total of 189 runs. Following closely is Matthew Montgomery, having contributed 151 runs, while Benjamin Martindale and Ben Slater have also made significant contributions with 124 and 116 runs respectively.

Middlesex vs Nottinghamshire Toss Prediction

The upcoming game will take place at Brunton Memorial Ground, also known as Radlett Cricket Club, Radlett, which is the designated home ground for Middlesex. The pitch at this venue has a tendency to provide an advantage to teams batting second. This characteristic was clearly demonstrated in the last match played at this venue in the 2022 season between Middlesex and Gloucestershire, where Gloucestershire emerged victorious despite losing the coin toss and being put into a fielding position. They achieved a five-wicket triumph with 17 balls to spare. Given these circumstances, it's quite probable that the team winning the toss in the upcoming match will opt to field first.

Weather Report

Unfortunately for cricket fans, the weather forecast predicts a 100% chance of precipitation and showers can be expected throughout the day. The temperature is likely to remain around 21 degrees celsius.

Middlesex vs Nottinghamshire Betting Odds

Nottinghamshire to have a better opening partnership than Middlesex

In their recent match against Surrey, Nottinghamshire successfully established an initial partnership of 34 runs, with their first wicket falling in the eighth over of the innings. In contrast, Middlesex faced more challenges, as their opening partnership was limited to just 11 runs in their previous encounter against Kent. Their first wicket tumbled in the second over of the innings. Taking these factors into account, coupled with Middlesex's generally slower scoring rate up to this point, it is expected that Nottinghamshire will likely have a more favourable opening partnership.

In their recent game against Kent, he secured the second-highest score for Middlesex, accumulating 25 runs from 39 deliveries.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Nottinghamshire

The ongoing season has been rather disappointing for Middlesex, as they've encountered three defeats out of four matches, with one match being abandoned. Their recent match against Kent dealt them a significant setback, and their current condition appears quite dire. Presently, they occupy the bottom position in the Group A standings.

In contrast, Nottinghamshire is enjoying a more favourable form, having secured two victories out of five matches, alongside one match being abandoned. Their overall performance seems stronger, and they hold better prospects for the upcoming fixture. Despite facing consecutive defeats against Surrey and Hampshire, they maintain a competitive edge.
