Matthew Critchley has struggled to make an impact throughout the season as in 12 matches he has scored 118 runs with an average of 16.85 which clearly showcases his struggles. We believe Critchley would struggle in the upcoming game and would score low against Hampshire.
Dean Elgar did not have a great outing in the last game but he has had a brilliant campaign thus far. In 12 matches, Elgar has scored 329 runs with an average of 29.90 which is brilliant for a top order batsman. We expect Elgar to play a key role in this game and he will score well in the upcoming game.

Essex vs Hampshire Betting Odds
Hampshire to have a better opening partnership than Essex
Hampshire and Essex go head to head in contrasting form as on one side Essex are currently fourth on the table and are right in the mix to make the playoffs this season. On the other hand, Hampshire has struggled to make an impact this year and are already knocked out of the tournament hence they do not have anything to play for. Both sides went head to head earlier this season and Essex dominated the game as they won the game with eight wickets to spare. Both sides managed to have 31 runs opening stand. What makes this tip so enticing is the fact even though Essex have been great in the second half of the campaign, in three of the last four matches they have conceded a bigger opening partnership which makes us believe Hampshire would end up having a better opening stand in the upcoming game.
