Hampshire vs Middlesex Chance of Winning
Hampshire are one of the most well-rounded sides in the competition. Boasting some of the finest talents in English cricket, backed by solid professionals, it’s no surprise to see them sitting comfortably at the second spot on the South Group points table. The presence of James Vince, Tom Prest, Toby Albert, and Dewald Brevis gives them the perfect blend of experience and youth. With both depth and balance in their squad, Hampshire remain a tough side to beat this season.
On the other hand, Middlesex have flattered to deceive this season. They’re certainly not a weak side, with players like Stephen Eskinazi, Kane Williamson, Ben Geddes, and Tom Helm forming a strong core. However, they’ve struggled to gain momentum and make any significant inroads in the tournament so far. That said, it’s still early days, and a couple of good performances can turn things around quickly.
- HAM’s chance of winning is 65%
- MID’s chance of winning is 35%

Hampshire vs Middlesex Betting Tips
Bet on Stephen Eskinazi. The Middlesex skipper is in the middle of a strong run of form, delivering consistently with the bat. Joshua Little has been equally effective with the ball, making him a smart pick you wouldn't want to ignore. Joe Weatherley, too, has been in good touch and can certainly boost your winning chances if you back him, as many already have.

Hampshire vs Middlesex Betting Odds
Hampshire opening partnership over 19.5 runs @ 1.87 (Parimatch)
Toby Albert and James Vince are two solid batters who have shown a great propensity to take the county forward in the shortest format of the game. While Vince’s exploits are well-documented, Albert in the last few years has grown to become the most important player in the club. The duo have an average opening partnership of 32, which is great to satisfy the condition of this market.

Hampshire vs Middlesex Best Batters
James Vince to be Hampshire’s best batter (Parimatch)
James Vince is one of the silent dominators of T20 cricket, having managed 12143 runs at an average of 32.20 and a strike rate of 135.52. These are some great numbers. For Hampshire alone, he has 5948 runs at an average of 35.61 and a strike rate of 138.64 with five centuries and 42 fifties. There is nothing to doubt his credentials.
Stephen Eskinazi to be Middlesex’s best batter (Parimatch)
Stephen Eskinazi is yet to make his international debut, but he has made a name for himself with his fierce ambition and the ability to score quick runs. The Middlesex opener has scored 3310 runs at an average of 31.52 at a strike rate of 137.89 in T20s. He has 22 fifties and one century in the format, which makes you believe that Eskinazi can repeat the heroics once again.
Hampshire vs Middlesex Best Bowlers
Bjorn Fortuin to be Hampshire’s best bowler (Parimatch)
South African left-arm spinner Bjorn Fortuin has been very impactful with his performances lately. In the shortest format of the game, Fortuin has taken 167 wickets at an average of 21.88 at an economy rate of 6.58. There is a great sense of accuracy to his bowling, for which one can hope that he continues to deliver great value.
Tom Helm to be Middlesex’s best bowler (Parimatch)
Middlesex pacer Tom Helm has 119 wickets in the shortest format of the game at an average of 25.75 at a strike rate of 17.1. 98 of those wickets have come in the T20 Blast - a stage which he dominates with ease. For the side to do well, you must bet a big amount on him.
