The latter scored 253 to start the match and Hampshire came quite close in their chase, having amassed 219 runs. Tom Prest and Nick Gubbins top-scored with 44 and 43 runs, respectively, and Surrey went on to add 342 runs to their tally. Hampshire were 300/5 and looked poised to achieve their second win on the trot. This time, Nick Gubbins was the leading batter with 117 runs while Toby Albert and Fletcha Middleton scored 78* and 42 runs, respectively. In the end, the sides had to settle for a draw.

Somerset managed to pile on 201 runs during their chase with wicket-keeper batter James Rew as the top batter with 80* runs. Sussex decimated any hope Somerset had of winning the match as they amassed 501 runs in the second innings.

Welcome bonus INR 25,000 Promocode SCBAT Somerset to score low before first dismissal Archie Vaughan and Sean Dickson have not done much for Somerset’s first wicket this season and their partnerships have been quite low. In the previous two matches, the pair have secured opening stands of 14, 4 and 21 runs before the first dismissal. They have also not performed well on an individual level which indicates that they are out of form, considering Vaughan and Dickson have averages of 12.33 and 6.33, respectively, in the tournament so far. This certainly does not inspire confidence that they will be able to bring any improvement in the next match. In the previous season, The Rose Bowl was primarily a batting friendly track with an average first innings score of 401. The toss winners also favored batting first five out of seven times which made it the strategy elected by Yorkshire in the previous game against Hampshire. Although the former lost the game, the result was quite an anomaly which will make batting first the top choice for the toss winner of the next game. Light rain could disrupt the match at Southampton and a slight 20% possibility of precipitation is predicted. The temperature is set to reach 14 degrees Celsius.

Hampshire are quite dominant in their head-to-head tally against Somerset, having won four out of the last five fixtures between the sides. Head-to-Head Record - Last Five Matches Hampshire - 4 Somerset - 0 Draw - 1 Hampshire to have a better opening partnership than Somerset Somerset’s openers do not seem to be clicking in the tournament so far as Archie Vaughan and Sean Dickson have both been rather underwhelming. In the previous two matches, the pair have secured paltry scores of 14, 4 and 21 runs. Hampshire’s opening wicket, on the other hand, has seen a slight downtrend in performance as Mark Stoneman and Fletcha Middleton scored 6 and 16 runs in the last match. However, they were quite explosive in the first game with totals of 70 and 47 runs, and they are expected to return to form in the upcoming match. First class The Rose Bowl, null Tom Prest to be Hampshire’s Best Batter As predicted for the previous match, Tom Prest was the leading batter for Hampshire during the first innings against Surrey where he scored 44 runs before his dismissal. He remained not out on 32 and currently stands as the team’s second highest run scorer with 165 runs in four innings and an average of 55.00. He continues to be the top pick for the next match. Tom Banton to be Somerset’s Best Batter Tom Banton’s previous game against Sussex was a bit of a let-down after a spectacular innings in the first match where he scored a whopping 371 runs single handedly. Despite his failure to score big in the last match, he leads Somerset’s run charts by quite a margin with 377 runs in three innings and an average of 125.66. He is expected to come good against Hampshire. Kyle Abbott to be Hampshire’s Best Bowler Kyle Abbott was among the top bowlers for Hampshire during the last game against Surrey where he picked two wickets in each of the two innings he played. He is the joint leading wicket-taker for the team with nine wickets in four innings and a bowling average of 18.00, making him the top choice against Somerset. Jack Leach to be Somerset’s Best Bowler In the previous encounter against Sussex, Jack Leach was the top bowler for Somerset as predicted for the match. After taking one wicket in the first innings, he went on to capture an impressive four-wicket haul in the second innings. He is the leading bowler overall with ten wickets in four innings and although his average of 31.10 is a tad high at the moment, he is expected to curtail it with his wicket-taking prowess.
