Nottinghamshire vs Hampshire Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Fletcha Middleton and Nick Gubbins have had a great start to the tournament for Hampshire as Hampshire openers have stacked opening partnership of 74 and 51 in first two games and in both games have outscored their opponents when it comes to opening stand. Even though Nottinghamshire bagged 107 runs opening stand in the season opener, we believe Hampshire would have a better opening partnership in this fixture.

Nottinghamshire vs Hampshire Betting Odds

Hampshire to score more than Nottinghamshire in powerplay

After the opening round of fixtures it is fair to say Hampshire’s openers have been the star of the show thus far. Hampshire’s top order had shown their aggressive and efficient style which has been one of the main factors for their flawless start to the season. In the two games thus far, Hampshire have scored 62 and 60 runs in the first 10 overs but has conceded just 55 and 33 in those games which makes this a very a very lucrative tip to bet upon. On the other hand, Nottingham averages 46 runs in powerplay this season and in the last game was outscored by their opponent. We believe Hampshire top order would prevail again and would provide you with huge financial gains.

Nottinghamshire vs Hampshire Top Team Batters

Lyndon James to be Nottinghamshire’s top batter

After a disappointing campaign last season, Lyndon James has started off really well this season. In the two games thus far, James has scored 32 and 82 and is the top scorer for Nottinghamshire this season. We believe James would continue his good start to the season to the upcoming game which makes him our top pick for the game.

Fletcha Middleton to be Hampshire’s top batter

The young England sensation was vested with the job to open the innings this season and Fletcha Middleton has not disappointed. He has grabbed the opportunity with both hands as he smashed a century in the season opener against Middlesex and scored 36 as Hampshire beat Essex at home. Without a doubt Middleton would be our top pick for the upcoming game.

Nottinghamshire vs Hampshire Top Team Bowlers

Brett Hutton to be Nottinghamshire’s top bowler

If you want to make a list of top three bowlers in the tournament thus far, Brett Hutton definitely makes the list. Brett Hutton has bagged six wickets in two games thus far and without doubt he has been one of the key performers for his side. It would be interesting to see how he prevails against Hampshire openers as he would be our top pick for the game.

Scott Currie to be Hampshire’s top bowler

We would stick with our pick once again as after his opening day heroics, Scott Currie bowled well in the second game as well and ended up with 1/21 in five overs. We believe Scott Currie would have a monstrous game in the upcoming fixture and is our top pick for the game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Nottinghamshire

After finishing third last season, Nottinghamshire are in route to achieve similar feet once again this season and have been just perfect apart from the game against Yorkshire which saw them share the points but apart from that they rolled past Essex in the season opener and were victorious in the last game against Leicestershire. The upcoming game would be the first big test for the table toppers as it could have a big impact on the rest of the season.

Hampshire were the best team in the group stage last season as they won seven of the eight games. They could not have fathomed a better start as they have been perfect thus far in this campaign. But their season would not be judged by this as the expectation to go all the way is huge and it wouldn’t be a surprise if they top the group once again this season. In the last game, Hampshire openers did all the talking as they chased down 239 with four wickets to spare.

Games like these are always a tough call, the bookmakers have sided with Nottinghamshire on this one giving them odds as low as 1.80. This is one game where I would disagree with the bookmakers and would side with Hampshire on this one. Yes the win against Leicestershire was significant for Nottinghamshire but on paper Hampshire are a different beast altogether and we do not believe Nottinghamshire have enough in the locker to take maximum points in the upcoming fixture.

• Nottinghamshire to win @ 1.80 (PariMatch)
• Hampshire to win @ 2.00 (PariMatch)
