Essex vs Sussex Chances of Winning
Essex made a step forward with their victory over Glamorgan earlier this season. Essex were the home favorites and they put the latter in to bat first. Glamorgan struggled against Essex’s bowling and were able to pull off a total of 166 which was, naturally, not particularly difficult for Essex to chase down. Glamorgan’s bowlers did make life challenging for Essex as they took eight wickets but they were only delaying the inevitable since the home side made it over the line by two wickets.
Sussex bagged yet another victory this season to mark their third of the season, this time against Gloucestershire. Sussex batted first and the collective effort of Daniel Hughes and James Coles, who scored 65 and 54 runs, respectively, along with dispersed contributions from the others saw them boast a total of 208. Gloucestershire had a tough time while chasing and the collapse of the opening wicket put too much pressure on the rest of the team, leading to a 48-run victory for Sussex.

Essex vs Sussex Betting Tips
Sussex to score low before first dismissal
Sussex’s opening partnerships have seen a minor ascent since the start of the season but they have failed to provide any reason to take a chance on their openers. Harrison Ward and Daniel Hughes will really have to up their game if they want to secure a competitive first wicket partnership but the likelihood of that seems rather low, especially since Oliver Carter has just been replaced by Ward and that hasn’t worked yet. In the previous four games, the opening order have added 15, 31, 22 and 5 runs to the first wicket and there appears to be no end in sight for their misfortune.
Essex vs Sussex Toss Prediction
County Ground in Chelmsford is a fielding track through and through with two out of three victories this season for the chasing side. The first innings totals are quite daunting but the fact of the matter is that no target is safe at this venue. Essex hunted down a total on the wrong side of 200 earlier this season and it is not a rare sight here. The skippers of both teams will be hellbent on fielding first in the upcoming match.
Weather Report
There is a negligible 20% chance of rain at Chelmsford and overcast conditions are predicted. The temperature is likely to be around 18 degrees Celsius.

Essex vs Sussex Betting Odds
Essex to have a better opening partnership than Sussex
There has been a gradual improvement in Essex’s opening stands so far as Adam Rossington and Dean Elgar find their rhythm and develop a way to make their partnership long lasting. In the four matches they have participated in, the pair have scored 43, 14, 67 and 0 runs together before the fall of their first wicket. This is not necessarily the case for Sussex whose overall form has been convincing but their opening stands miss the mark. Oli Carter and Daniel Hughes opened the first three matches and set up totals of 5, 22 and 31 runs while the last match saw Harrison Ward and Daniel Hughes add 15 runs to the first wicket. It is a rather straightforward deduction that Essex’s openers are better equipped to post a big first wicket total.
