Middlesex vs Hampshire Hawks at a glance

  • Hampshire Hawks easily defeated Sussex in a match played at The Rose Bowl.
  • Hampshire’s previous encounter saw outstanding performances from Scott Currie, Liam Dawson, James Vince, and Ben McDermott.

 

Middlesex vs Hampshire Hawks Team Preview

Middlesex

Middlesex has had a very bad season so far in the Vitality Blast 2023, losing all six of their games. They are the only team in both groups still searching for their first victory, in addition to finishing last in the South Group.

 

Whether batting first or second, Middlesex has struggled to score runs at the top of the order or in the middle of the order. In his previous two innings, Max Holden scored 56 runs, while earlier in the competition, captain Steve Eskinazi had two half-centuries in a row. In their most recent match, only three wickets could be claimed by Middlesex before Gloucestershire crossed the finish line, with one batter each being dismissed by Josh de Caires, Thilan Walalllawita, and Luke Hollman. Blake Cullen failed to pick up a wicket in Bristol despite having five wickets across the two previous games.

 

Hampshire Hawks

After a sluggish start to the tournament, Hampshire is now back on track to reach the final and win the championship last year. In their last two encounters, the Hawks defeated Essex Eagles by 118 runs and Sussex Sharks by 10 wickets.

 

Only Wayne Madsen of the Derbyshire Falcons has scored more runs in the 2023 Vitality Blast than Hampshire captain James Vince, who is in excellent form. His previous four innings have resulted in 71 not-outs, 103 not-outs, 88 not-outs, and 88 not-outs. Hampshire bowled brilliantly as a team in their last game, with just Nathan Ellis going wicketless out of the six bowlers used. Despite remaining economical, the Australian was unable to replicate Liam Dawson’s figures of 2-18 from four overs.

  • Josh Hazlewood of Australia has been ruled out of the World Test Championship final due to injury.
  • Mitchell Starc has yet to dismiss Rohit Sharma or Shubman Gill in a Test, while Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, and Ajinkya Rahane have a combined average of 77.8 against the left-arm quick.
  • In Tests, Steve Smith has a 97.75 average at the Oval.

Australia vs India Team Preview

Australia

Australia will be concentrating on this match despite the Ashes series starting just after this one. Most of their players have been adjusting to the environment over the past several weeks.

With Peter Handscomb and Matthew Kuhnemann both missing from the camp, there will be at least two changes to Australia’s starting lineup from their previous Test Match. Pat Cummins, the team’s captain, and David Warner will be added. Josh Hazlewood will not play in this game due to a minor injury.

India

India should be a big concern for Australia even though they slowed down in the final two Tests they played against them earlier this year. However, they must be at their best throughout this match from the opening kick.

Before the World Test Championship, KL Rahul joined Rishabh Pant on the sidelines after suffering an injury during the 2023 IPL group stage. With Shubman Gill prepared to open with Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane is anticipated to rejoin the lineup.

  • Durham has 6 points from 5 games this season, with 3 wins and 2 losses.
  • Durham had only one win in three games at Chester le Street this season.

Durham Cricket vs Northamptonshire Steelbacks Team Preview

Durham Cricket

Despite losing two of their past three games, Durham enters this match in fourth place in the North Group with six points from five games. In the previous match, they were defeated by Leicestershire Foxes by 7 wickets with 12 balls remaining.

 

Ollie Robinson, the keeper-batter, hit his third half-century and a second score of 60+ in his past four innings. Skipper Alex Lees and fellow opener Graham Clark have been in excellent form at the top of the order this season. Last time out, only Luke Robinson and South African bowling all-rounder Wayne Parnell took wickets in the defeat to Leicestershire Foxes at Chester-le-Street. Ben Raine went wicketless in the last match but has taken wickets in all of his home games thus far.

Northamptonshire Steelbacks

Northamptonshire did not have the best start to the Vitality Blast 2023, but their results have improved in recent games, with victories over the previously unbeaten Worcestershire Rapids, Leicestershire Foxes, and Derbyshire Falcons in their last four matches.

 

The Steelbacks’ openers have been in fine form recently, with Chris Lynn making a century against the Leicestershire Foxes and Ricardo Vasconcelos getting 109 in his last two innings combined. In the previous encounter, Saif Zaib hit 70 not out. Northamptonshire skipper David Willey was unexpectedly expensive in the win over Worcestershire Rapids, and he was also the only one of the bowling attacks to go wicketless. Freddie Heldreich has been sent off in every game this season.

Essex vs Sussex Sharks at a Glance

  • Essex suffered an 11-run defeat in their prior game.
  • Last time out, Sussex was defeated by 32 runs.
  • Both of these teams are currently in the South group’s bottom half of the table.

 

Essex vs Sussex Sharks Team Preview

Essex

Essex lost their last two games in the Vitality T20 Blast 2023 to Hampshire Hawks by 118 runs and Somerset by 11 runs after winning their first two games. Despite being in sixth place going into their matchup with the Sharks, they had games in hand on other teams.  

 

With Essex being dismissed for 139, Michael Pepper, who was batting at number three, led the way with 63 runs from 43 balls in the defeat over Somerset. Although Robin Das scored 100 runs in the tournament’s first two games, he has not produced a noteworthy performance afterward.

 

Sussex Sharks

On the points chart, the Sussex sharks are ranked eighth. Out of the five games they played, they only managed one victory. To raise their ranks, they are in dire need of a victory. Sussex is attempting to snap a three-game losing streak.

 

Tom Alsop scored 58 runs during the chase, while Michael Burgess contributed 45 runs, which immensely helped him. However, this was insufficient because no one else stepped up to lead the team home, and they ultimately lost the game by a significant 32-run deficit. So they need to step up their game.

The County Ground in Chelmsford has seen 50 T20 matches so far, with teams aiming for a total victory 25 times. The first-inning score here is often 176. As a result, the team that flips will attempt to bowl first and chase down a target.

 

It will be about 15 degrees Celsius outside. There is relatively little risk of rain, therefore we may anticipate a good cricket match.

The County Ground in Chelmsford will serve as the site of this Vitality T20 Blast match. On this wicket, we anticipate a par score to be above 200 because of the good pace and bounce.

  • In their last five games, Leicestershire had only one victory.
  • In their last five games, Yorkshire has only won three.
  • Yorkshire won one of the five games they played against Leicestershire, which won four.

 

Leicestershire Foxes vs Yorkshire Vikings Team Preview

Leicestershire Foxes

On Sunday, Leicestershire finally earned their first victory of the year, which will give them a great boost going into this game. However, the matchup with Yorkshire will be quite challenging.  

 

Prior to their first victory of the season, Leicestershire made no roster changes, and it would be shocking if they did so following their 7-wicket triumph. Following Sunday’s triumph, no injuries were recorded.

 

Yorkshire Vikings

Yorkshire has defeated opponents by 7 wickets, 15 runs, and 8 runs in their last 3 games. They have several crucial players in excellent form, and they will be confident that they can win again in Leicester.

 

We believe that Yorkshire will start this game against Leicestershire with the same lineup after improving their form and their season. There are no injuries in the team, despite the fact that none of Yorkshire’s England red-ball internationals will be available.

  • The Windies’ bowling attack was too strong for the hosts.
  • For UAE, the young Aravind and Naseer appear potential with the bat.
  • Brandon King is in excellent form for the West Indies.

United Arab Emirates vs West Indies Team Preview

United Arab Emirates

Despite some promising performances from some of their younger players, UAE’s performance on Sunday will have left them unsatisfied. In this ODI, they will need to perform at their highest level to trouble the West Indies.

 

UAE never really regained the momentum in the first ODI on Sunday after seeing their captain removed off the second ball of the match. We anticipate that the same starting lineup will be chosen since they’ll want to give the same set of players the opportunity to play against the West Indies.

West Indies

On Sunday, West Indies demonstrated that they have a lot more depth than UAE and never appeared to be losing. They will be pretty confident about taking a 2-0 series lead.

 

It was expected given the squad’s fresh additions that Kavem Hodge played in his first international game on Sunday and Dominic Drakes made his ODI debut. Prior to this second match of the series, we do not anticipate any changes to the team.

The weather in Sharjah will be 37 degrees when this game begins on an extremely hot day. Throughout the day, clear skies are predicted.

This is a good batting wicket at this location, as demonstrated by West Indies’ 206-3 from 35.2 overs on Sunday. We believe the par score in this match will be around 320.

  • In the second ODI, Kusal Mendis and Chammera spearheaded Sri Lanka’s comeback.
  • Rashid Khan may miss Afghanistan’s final game as well.
  • Lower echelons of Sri Lanka are in decent shape.

Sri Lanka vs Afghanistan Team Preview

Sri Lanka

In the Sunday ODI, Sri Lanka displayed an outstanding spirit to return, and they were simply too good for Afghanistan. They must perform at the same level in this game to win the series. 

In preparation for the second ODI, which they must win, Sri Lanka made four changes, leaving out Angelo Mathews, Dushan Hemantha, Matheesha Pathirana, and Lahiru Kumara. For the win, the team recruited Sadeera Samarawickrama, Wanindu Hasaranga, Maheesh Theekshana, and Dushmantha Chameera.

Afghanistan

Afghanistan had several outstanding individual performances in the second ODI, but as a team, they struggled with their batting. Rashid Khan is expected to make a comeback in this game, and the spinner might be very important.

Noor Ahmad, an 18-year-old left-arm spinner, has taken a wicket in each of the series’ first two games, but after giving up 124 runs overall, we anticipate that he will be replaced in this third and final ODI by Rashid Khan.
