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.
