Hampshire vs Surrey Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
We believe Hampshire to have a high opening partnership in the game. Hampshire openers have hit the ground running in the last game against Middlesex as they managed to get an opening stand of 91 runs. Surrey in the three games have conceded an opening stand of 46.33 which includes a 100 run stand against Kent and a 29 run stand in their last game against Sussex. Considering the fact that Hampshire have managed to have an opening partnership of more than 30 runs in seven of the last eight games at home, we believe this is a great chance to earn some quick bucks.
Hampshire’s struggle to clear the ropes was evident last year as they could only average 5.94 sixes, fortunately for us their struggles have continued this season as they have only managed to hit five 6s in two games so far which gives us a great opportunity to cash in on their struggles.
Hampshire vs Surrey Match Toss Prediction
The Rose Bowl stadium hosted seven games last year and one game so far in this tournament, in eight games, on five occasions the team batting first has won the game. But it wouldn’t be a surprise if either captains opt to bowl first as both teams have been able to chase scores with ease this season and in the last game that was played between the two sides at the Rose Bowl stadium last year, Surrey managed to successfully chased down 151 and wont the game by four wickets.
Weather Report

Hampshire vs Surrey Betting Odds
Hampshire to score more boundaries than Surrey in the game
In the last two games, Surrey have conceded more boundaries than they managed to hit. They scored 11 boundaries in each of the last two games but conceded 19 and 12 boundaries in those games. On the other hand, Hampshire managed to outscore their opposition as they scored 19 boundaries at the Rose Bowl stadium against Middlesex and conceded only 14 boundaries in the game. We did not consider Hampshire's opening game against Somerset as its highly unlikely defending champions would post the lowest score at the venue again this season. In the last game between Hampshire and Surrey at the Rose Bowl stadium, Hampshire managed to hit 15 boundaries and conceded just 13. We believe this a great opportunity to make some financial gains and we reckon you should grab this tip with both hands.
Hampshire vs Surrey Top Team Batters
James Vince to be Hampshire’s top batter
After the debacle in the opening fixture, James Vince led his side to an impressive victory against Middlesex. Vince smashed an unbeaten 88 of 55 balls as the holders successfully chased 171 and won the game by eight wickets. This is the third time in as many games we have picked last year’s top scorer as the top pick for Hampshire and it makes no sense to change especially after his performance in the last game.
Tom Curran to be Surrey’s top batter
Tom Curran has been the most consistent for Surrey this season making him our top pick even though Sean Abbot scored a brilliant hundred against Kent. Curran has managed to score 50, 16 and 23 so far in this tournament. It was Curran and Suni Narine who managed to take Surrey to a respectable score of 148 after a difficult start but eventually lost the game against Sussex by five wickets.
Hampshire vs Surrey Top Team Bowlers
Nathan Ellis to be Hampshire’s top bowler
Nathan Ellis has enjoyed a great start to the season and is the leading wicket taker for Hampshire so far. Apart from his ability to take wickets, what's more impressive so far is that he has been able to maintain a economy under six in the first two games. Looking at his performance against Middlesex at the Rose Bowl stadium where he ended up with 2/24 makes him our top pick
Sunil Narine to be Surrey’s top bowler
Sunil Narine was one of the top performers last year for Surrey and has continued his form this season. Narine has grabbed six wickets so far and is the top wicket taker for Surrey this season. Narine was outstanding in the last game against Sussex as he ended up with 2/18 and is our top pick for the game.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Surrey
The holders got their 2023 campaign off and running by thrashing Middlesex. James Vince fired a warning to Hawk’s South Group rivals with an outstanding unbeaten 88 off 55 balls and steered his team to the finishing line. Hampshire got humiliated on the opening day as they posted lowest T20 Blast total at Taunton but instead of licking their wounds they went gung-ho on Middlesex. Surrey grabbed back to back wins in the first two games of the tournament against Middlesex and Kent. Sam and Tom Curran stole the show on the opening day as both batsmen scored half centuries and helped their team post a total of 199 which proved to be more than enough for the Middlesex batsmen. In the second game against Kent, Australian all rounder Sean Abott astonished the cricketing world by his record breaking exploits after equalling the fastest ever hundred hit in English T20 cricket. Abbott destroyed the Kent bowling attack at the Oval, thundering to the three figure mark in just 34 balls and equalled the record set by his late compatriot Andrew Symonds for Kent 19 years ago. Surrey have had an upper hand in this tie since the inception of the tournament and have won the last three encounters against the defending champions. The bookmakers have looked into this and have coined Surrey as outright favourites in this game giving them lucrative odds of 1.68 with holders being tagged as underdogs with Melbet offering odds as high as 2.11. We believe Surrey would have enough in the tank to take down the Hawks and register their third win in four games.
- Hampshire to win @ 2.30
- Surrey to win @ 1.62
