Sussex vs Hampshire Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Eventhough Hampshire has managed to turn things around but their struggles to get a good opening stand away from home is pretty evident. In four games thus far, Hampshire has only once managed to get an opening stand of over 20 runs in their travels, averaging 12 runs in those games. We also believe Hampshire would score more sixes in the game than Sussex. Apart from the first game of the season, Sussex has struggled to clear the ropes at home and in each of the last three games their opponent has either equalled or scored more sixes than the home side. Sussex average five sixes at home but have conceded 8.75 sixes in those games which makes this a great opportunity to encash upon.

Sussex vs Hampshire Match Toss Prediction

In the four matches played at the County Ground in Hove, the last three games have been won by the team batting first. Hence it wouldn’t be a surprise, whoever wins the toss might decide to bat first to turn the odds in their favour.

Weather Report

It is expected to be a sunny day at Hove on June 16, with any disruptions highly unlikely on the day. The maximum temperature during the game will be around 24C while the minimum is expected to be 14C making conditions well suited for a game of cricket.

Sussex vs Hampshire Betting Odds

Sussex to have a low opening partnership

Sussex have lost all four home games thus far. One of the key components in these losses has been their struggle to get a good start in the games as they have lost early wickets in each of the four games so far. Sussex’s opening partnership at home has been 9, 2, 19 and 12 averaging 10.5 in those games. In the last game against Hampshire at Old Trafford which offered nothing for the bowlers, Hampshire only managed to get 25 runs as opening partnership. On the other hand, Hampshire openers scored 145 and won the game with 10 wickets to spare. We believe this a great opportunity to bet against the home side and it assures a very lucrative return in the investment.

Sussex vs Hampshire Top Team Batters

Tom Clark to be Sussex’s top batter

Even though Ravi Bopara has been the top scorer for Sussex this season, we would go with Tom Clark as he enters this game on a better form scoring 39 and 43 in the last two games. Clark’s 36 runs in the reverse fixture was the top scorer for Sussex in the game which makes him out top pick for the game.

Ben Mcdermott to be Hampshire’s top batter

Ben Mcdermott has been overshadowed by the brilliance of James Vince this season but Hampshire opener has finally found his form in the last four games. In the last two away games Mcdermott has scored 47 and 57 and was the top scorer for Hampshire in those games which makes him our top pick for the game.

Sussex vs Hampshire Top Team Bowlers

Tymal Mills to be Sussex’s top bowler

Tymal Mills has been the best bowler for Sussex this season and is the leading wicket taker for Sussex with 14 wickets thus far. Next best bowler for Sussex is Henry Crocombe with seven wickets. In last two of the three games Mills has ended up with best bowling figures for Sussex which makes him our top pick for the game

Nathan Ellis to be Hampshire’s top bowler

This would be a tough pick as Nathan Ellis and Liam Dawson have been the best bowlers in what has been a par bowling performance by Hampshire thus far. In each of the last two games Nathan Ellis has outperformed Dawson grabbing 3/55 in those games which makes him our top pick for the game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Hampshire

Hampshire had a difficult start to the season as they lost two of the first three games in the tournament. But Hampshire showed some grit and managed to overturn their form and went on a winning run of four games on the back of their ever reliable James Vince. In the last game, defending champions surrendered their winning run against tournament strugglers Kent who registered their first win in six games. Hampshire failed to defend 177 as they lost the game by six wickets.

Hampshire’s mishap against Kent should give some hope to Sussex who have struggled this whole campaign, bagging two wins in eight games and linger eighth in the South Group, six points of the playoff spot. In the last game they got hammered by Surrey as the home side cumbled to mere 134 in the chase and eventually lost the game by 124 runs.

The oddsmakers have made Hampshire outright favourites in the upcoming game, handing them lucrative odds of 1.62. On the other hand, Sussex are viewed as massive underdogs with Parimatch offering odds as high as 2.21. Hampshire have edged Sussex 9-7 at the venue and we believe Hampshire would get the job done when they take on Sussex on Jun 16.

  • Sussex to win @ 2.21 (PariMatch)
  • Hampshire to win @ 1.62 (PariMatch)
