The Rose Bowl, Southampton

Hampshire and Durham are slated to lock horns in the County Championship Division One from May 2 to 5, 2025. Meeting at The Rose Bowl, Southampton, their encounter is going to begin at 3:30 P.M IST.

Hampshire vs Durham Chances of Winning

Hampshire’s last match against Somerset ended in a draw but they seemed poised to overcome the latter, having kept their rivals down to a score of 184. Hampshire surpassed it with 336 runs on the scoreboard; the middle order are owed credit for the success of the team as Nick Gubbins, Liam Dawson, Tom Prest and Ben Brown contributed 82, 72, 42 and 30* runs, respectively. Somerset were much more competitive in the second innings where they scored 163 for the loss of two wickets but with no time left to play the match to fruition, it came to an abrupt halt at this juncture.

Durham’s low scoring endeavor against Worcestershire last time out seemed like the odds were against them but the former truly pulled off a miracle. Even though Worcestershire were restricted to a meager total of 162, Durham found themselves in a bind as the batters failed to hold up their end of the bargain, having been bundled out for 136. Their chances appeared slim but the bowlers came through once again as they limited Worcestershire to just 81 runs and Durham were able to complete the chase with six wickets to spare.

Hampshire vs Durham Betting Tips

Hampshire to score high before first dismissal

Mark Stoneman and Fletcha Middleton made a roaring start to their campaign with totals of 70 and 47 runs before the first dismissal during the first outing. Their performance dropped off a tad in the second game where their scores of 6 and 16 were not convincing in the slightest, but they showed signs of improvement with a 38-run stand in the last game against Somerset. Their upward trajectory looks promising and they have the strength to take Durham’s bowlers head-on.

Hampshire vs Durham Toss Prediction

The first match held at The Rose Bowl this season was a slight aberration as the chasing side emerged victorious but the track remains quite conducive for the batters. The second match was inconclusive but with an average first innings total of 401 last season, batting first will certainly be favored by the toss winner.

Weather Report

Southampton is going to be partly cloudy on the day of the match with a 15% prediction for rain. The temperature is expected to go up to 23 degrees Celsius.

Hampshire vs Durham Betting Odds

Hampshire to have a better opening partnership than Durham

Alex Lees and Ben McKinney have both been quite inconsistent this season and their inability to work together is affecting Durham’s first wicket. Their partnership has evidently taken a hit judging by regressing scores of 4, 2, 22, 0 and 46 in the last three games. Hampshire’s Mark Stoneman and Fletcha Middleton have been on a similar boat with declining partnerships in the previous three matches but they seem to be salvaging it the best they can, having added 38, 6, 16, 70 and 47 runs to the first wicket. They are certainly more dependable at this point in the tournament which makes them the favorite opening pair for the upcoming match.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Hampshire

Durham’s previous victory marked their first of the season and they were placed sixth in the Division One standings with two losses and a draw as well. Despite that, their strength as a squad is under fire and Hampshire have the upper hand even though they are one spot lower in seventh. Hampshire remain undefeated so far and they have shown that they are capable of putting on a tough fight, making them the bookmaker’s top choice.
