Yorkshire vs Hampshire Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Yorkshire have done well in the powerplay overs apart from the game against Essex where they conceded 103 runs and still managed to win the game. In other fixtures, Yorkshire have managed to score 52 and 62 and have conceded 38 and 27 in those games. Hampshire have been slow starters but they used to concede far less in the game which used to balance out. But in the last two games they have conceded far more in the first 10 overs which makes us believe Yorkshire would score more than Hampshire in powerplay overs.

Hampshire Team Form

Hampshire started off in emphatic fashion with three wins in three games. But their momentum was surrendered against table topper Leicestershire, Hampshire were able to put the result on the back burner and registered a narrow victory against Lancashire in the last game.

Yorkshire vs Hampshire Head to Head

In the last head to head meetings between these two historic counties, one stands heads and shoulders above the other. Dating back to September 2006, Hampshire have won four games out of five. The only time Yorkshire came out on top was in 2014, when an Adil Rashid fifer was followed by a half century by Adam Lees to seal the win

Yorkshire vs Hampshire Betting Odds

Hampshire to have a better opening partnership than Yorkshire

We just have a feeling Hampshire openers would never disappoint us ever again which is probably why we are always sitting on their bandwagon and it shouldn’t be a surprise we are banking on them to excel in the upcoming fixture. It seems odd to think Hampshire only had a opening partnership of one run against Nottinghamshire which is unheard of as in the rest of the games they have managed an opening stand of 74, 51, 89 and 131, averaging 69.2 runs in the tournament. On the other hand Yorkshire seems to have struggled in this department averaging 31.66 which includes a 80 run partnership against Essex. What makes this stand out is the fact every time Hampshire openers have done well they have constituted a better opening stand than their opponent which makes this a great tip to encash upon.

Yorkshire vs Hampshire Top Team Batters

Harry Duke to be Yorkshire’s top batter

Harry Duke has been key in the resurgence of Yorkshire this season. In the three games thus far, Duke has managed to score 31,42 and 93 and has resulted in back to back wins in the last two games which makes him our top pick for the upcoming fixture.

Nick Gubbins to be Hampshire’s top batter

We cannot come up with one reason why we should not go with Nick Gubbins once again in the upcoming fixture. Gubbins was sensational once again against Lancashire as he scored 66 and took his overall run tally to 330. Gubbins continues to impress for Hampshire this season and is our top pick for the game.

Yorkshire vs Hampshire Top Team Bowlers

Matthew Revis to be Yorkshire’s top bowler

Matthew Revis has had a phenomenal tournament thus far and with nine wickets in three games is the top wicket taker for Yorkshire this season. Revis has impressed is all not just with his wickets but with the consistency that he has show thus far which makes him our top pick for the game.

Scot Currie to be Hampshire’s top bowler

Scot Currie was able to put his performance against Leicestershire aside and returned with yet another dominant display as he ended up with 2/41 taking his wicket tally to seven and is the leading wicket taker for his side which makes him our top pick for the game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Hampshire

Yorkshire seems to be off the few teams whose campaign looked abrupted by bad weather as two of the first three games were washed out. If not for shared points in those games, Yorkshire could have been favourites to top the group but credit to them for not dropping off the intensity and salvaging their season after back to back wins against Essex and Surrey and are now well placed to make the playoffs this season.

Hampshire could be considered as the favourites in the tournament regardless of their defeat against high flying Leicestershire as they surrendered their 100% record in the tournament. Hampshire responded to the defeat as they defeated Lancashire in what was a low scoring affair. Once again Hampshire top order was the star of the show with a 131 runs opening stand which took them to 234 and won the game by 11 runs.

Both teams feel so similar in terms of personal and form as we have seen both teams respond to adversity which is a true hallmark of the champions. Even though bookmakers have sided with Hampshire, it does feel like bookies are sitting on the edge on this one. Even though Yorkshire are viewed as underdogs on this won but the odds of 1.96 seems a bit low which makes us believe this would be a very tight game. But we believe Hampshire would edge it and take home crucial points.

  • Yorkshire to win @ 1.96 (PariMatch)
  • Hampshire to win @ 1.72 (PariMatch)
