County Ground

Worcestershire are poised to lock horns with Sussex in the County Championship Division One from September 24 to 27, 2025. The sides will take the field at County Ground, New Road, Worcester, at 3:00 PM IST.

Worcestershire vs Sussex Chances of Winning

Worcestershire were competitive with the bat during the last game against Durham where the former kicked off the match with a 591-run stand before declaring. Wicket-keeper batter Gareth Roderick and Ethan Brookes were both centurions with 151 and 100 runs, respectively, while skipper Brett D'Oliveira was next in line with 84 runs. Tom Taylor’s 66 and Rehaan Edavalath’s 61 were also valuable contributions, and the team had a score they could defend. Durham responded with 450/6 but a lack of time forced a draw between the sides.

Sussex have had a dry spell and their last match against Yorkshire did not end with a conclusive result. The latter were kept down to a mere 194 and Sussex breezed past the total to take the lead, having posted 250 runs on the board. Skipper and wicket-keeper batter, John Simpson, top-scored with 66 runs, and the bowlers allowed Yorkshire to score an additional 109 runs in the third innings. However, their allotted four days were up and the sides were at an impasse.

Worcestershire vs Sussex Betting Tips

Sussex to score under 29.5 before first dismissal @ 1.87 (Batery)

In the tournament so far, Daniel Hughes and Tom Haines are Sussex’s mainstay openers but their performance has barely seen any improvement this season. They posted partnerships of 10, 17, 28, 19, 12, 28, 3 and 98 runs in the last five encounters which is not particularly impressive. Since there is no progress whatsoever, their collaboration is not expected to succeed in the next match either.

Worcestershire vs Sussex Toss Prediction

County Ground in New Road has hosted six games this season where those fielding first have the advantage with a 2-1 record while the other three matches were drawn. The average first innings score of 239 is attainable and the toss winners elected to chase in four games so far. This makes it the top choice for the upcoming game as well.

Weather Report

On match day, the weather at Worcester will be gloomy with a slight 20% likelihood of rainfall. The temperature is set to reach 16 degrees Celsius.

Worcestershire vs Sussex Betting Odds

Worcestershire to have a better opening partnership than Sussex

Daniel Hughes and Tom Haines’ partnership for Sussex’s first wicket has stagnated, and there is absolutely no progress. In the three games leading up to this fixture, the duo added 10, 17, 28, 19 and 12 runs to the first wicket. Worcestershire, on the other hand, are a tad more competitive as Rehaan Edavalath and Jake Libby have secured totals of 25, 3, 26, 56 and 4 runs in the previous three games. Despite the lack of consistency, the latter are expected to post a better first partnership in the upcoming match.

Worcestershire vs Sussex Best Batters

Jake Libby to be Worcestershire’s Best Batter

Jake Libby was not a major contributor during the last outing against Durham where he scored a mere 14 runs in their sole innings. Nevertheless, he continues to be Worcestershire’s leading batter with 988 runs in 24 innings, and his average of 44.90 is the best of the team. Moreover, he has four centuries and one half-century which makes him the top choice for the next match.

John Simpson to be Sussex’s Best Batter

In the last game versus Yorkshire, skipper and wicket-keeper batter John Simpson emerged as the top scorer for Sussex with a 66-run half-century. He stands as their top run-getter in the tournament with 952 runs in 21 innings, including three tons and four half-centuries. Averaging at 56.00, he is expected to come out on top in the next match against Worcestershire.

Worcestershire vs Sussex Best Bowlers

Tom Taylor to be Worcestershire’s Best Bowler

Tom Taylor was tied for second place in the previous encounter against Durham where he delivered 13 overs, bowled a maiden, picked a single wicket and achieved an economy rate of 3.69. He has a massive lead over the others overall with 50 wickets in 24 innings so far, and his excellent average of 23.98 makes him the top pick against Sussex.

Ollie Robinson to be Sussex’s Best Bowler

Ollie Robinson was not the top bowler for Sussex last time out as he picked a single wicket across two innings against Yorkshire. However, he is their leading wicket-taker overall with 28 wickets in 16 innings and an average of 29.39. Despite his performance in the previous encounter, he is the leading contender to be their premier bowler in the upcoming fixture.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Sussex

Worcestershire remain at the bottom of the standings in tenth place as they have a single win, seven losses and five draws while Sussex are a middling team, occupying fifth position. They have three victories under their belt along with four defeats and six drawn matches. Both sides are off their game at the moment but Worcestershire are the worst-performing team in the tournament which puts them on the backfoot against the Hove-based side for the next clash.

• Worcestershire to win @ 2.26 (Parimatch)
