Hampshire vs Essex Chance of Winning

Hampshire had an underwhelming campaign last season as they struggled for consistency throughout the season. Hampshire got off to a decent start last season as they won two of the first three matches, they ended the campaign with two wins in the last 12 matches and ended up seventh on the table.

On the other hand, Essex did not have a great start to the campaign last season as they lost the first two matches. They managed to turn things around but it was they lost in the last two games that knocked them out in the group stages. As per our calculations, Hampshire are favourites in the upcoming game.

Hampshire vs Essex Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Liam Dawson struggled to make an impact last season as he played 11 matches and scored 84 runs with an average of 16.80 which showcases his struggle. We believe Dawson will score low in the upcoming game.

Charlie Allison did not play the whole campaign but he still managed to make an impact. Last season Allison scored 119 runs in five innings with an average of 59.50 which makes us believe he will score well in the upcoming game.

Hampshire vs Essex Match Toss Prediction

Historically the venue has suited the team that bat first. The last two of the three games have been won by the team that bowled first, which makes us believe both sides would prefer to chase in the upcoming game.

Weather Report

With 20% chances of disruptions we believe climate would not play a major role in the game. Maximum temperature is expected to be 21C during the game and minimum temperature is expected to be 14C.

Hampshire vs Essex Betting Odds

Hampshire to have a better opening partnership than Essex

Hampshire and Essex head into this campaign after both sides had disappointing campaigns last season. Hampshire headed into the tournament as one of the favourites to make the playoffs but they only managed four wins and ended up seventh on the table. They ended the campaign with two wins in the last six matches. On the other hand, Essex ended the campaign with 15 points and they missed the playoffs as Gloucestershire had better NRR. Much like their opponents they ended the campaign with two wins in the last six matches. Both sides went head to head twice and both teams managed to share the spoils but it was Hampshire openers who outplayed Essex openers on both occasions which makes us believe Hampshire will have a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.

Hampshire vs Essex Top Batters

Dewald Brevis to be Hampshire’ top batter

Dewald Brevis has been a welcome addition to this year’s squad for Hampshire. He was called up by CSK for the last few games and he was sensational. We expect Brevis to make a mark this season which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Michael Pepper to be Essex’ top batter

Michael Pepper was incredible last year for Essex as he was the stand out batter as he scored 535 runs and was the leading run scorer for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Hampshire vs Essex Top Bowlers

John Turner to be Hampshire’ top bowler

John Turner was the standout player in what was a dismal campaign for Hampshire last season. Turner bagged 15 wickets and was the leading wicket taker for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Paul Walter to be Essex’ top bowler

Paul Walter had a brilliant season last year as he was one of the most consistent batters last term and with 17 wickets he was the leading wicket taker for his side which makes him our top pick in the upcoming game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Hampshire

Hampshire and Essex went head to head twice last year and both sides had one win. Historically, Hampshire have been dominant in this fixture which is probably why the bookmakers have sided with Hampshire and you should do the same as they will bag maximum points in the upcoming game.
  • Hampshire to win - 1.64 (PariMatch)
  • Essex to win - 2.25 (PariMatch)
