The Rose Bowl

Hampshire and Worcestershire’s County Championship Division One clash is slated to take place between June 29 and July 2, 2025, and the sides will meet at The Rose Bowl, Southampton. The action is set to kick off at 3:30 PM IST.

Hampshire vs Worcestershire Chances of Winning

Hampshire’s campaign has seen no improvement and they drew with Essex in the previous match. The latter batted first to score 296 and the Southampton team chased it down with ease and snatched the lead with 453 runs on the board; Liam Dawson top-scored with 139 and County debutant Tilak Varma scored a century with precisely 100 runs. Opener Fletcha Middleton notched up a 61-run half-century and the rest of the batters made necessary contributions. Essex had their work cut out but they managed to score 358 before declaring but a lack of time did not permit a result.

Worcestershire’s run in the tournament has been dreadful right from the start and they have been without respite for the entirety of it. They fell short against Surrey last time around where the former scored a mere 214 runs with Matthew Waite’s 68 as the only competitive score from the team. Surrey overcame the total and posted 291 runs and Worcestershire caved at the second time of asking by getting bundled out for 125. Naturally, they lost by nine wickets since the lead was not good enough.

Hampshire vs Worcestershire Betting Tips

Worcestershire to score low before first dismissal

For the entire first leg, Worcestershire opened with Gareth Roderick and Jake Libby despite their inconsistencies and their yield was far from desired. In the last five matches, the pair set up scores of 23, 4, 64, 20, 31, 1, 10, 7, 7 and 0. They have had very few competent totals and their struggle to be competitive is evident. Given their present form, they are not expected to do well against Hampshire’s bowlers.

Hampshire vs Worcestershire Toss Prediction

In the four matches held at The Rose Bowl, the toss winners elected to bat first three times but it is yet to pay off. The teams chasing managed to take two victories while the other two games were drawn. The average stand of 243 is low and fielding first will be the toss winner’s favorite option for the upcoming game.

Weather Report

A 5% chance of rain is reported at Southampton and even with partially cloudy skies, the weather will not put a damper on the game. The temperature will go up to 27 degrees Celsius.

Hampshire to have a better opening partnership than Worcestershire

Worcestershire’s Gareth Roderick and Jake Libby have not had an ideal run in the season as the opening pair for the team. They have had erratic partnerships across the tournament and in the last three games, they managed to set up totals of 23, 4, 64, 20, 31 and 1 runs. However, Hampshire have not been significantly better in this regard as Mark Stoneman and Fletcha Middleton opened two of the last three games with scores of 0, 38, 4 and 25 runs. In the previous match against Essex, though, the former was replaced by Ali Orr and a slight improvement was seen with a 34-run partnership. Their new opening lineup is promising and they have the potential to outdo Worcestershire’s first wicket.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Hampshire

Hampshire have had a middle-of-the-road campaign this season and it is unlike them to languish all the way down in seventh place with two wins, two losses and four draws. However, Worcestershire have been much worse off as they have been at the absolute bottom of the standings from the beginning of the season; they have a single victory, a whopping five defeats and two draws. Moreover, Hampshire have a 3-1 scoreline against Worcestershire in their last five head-to-head matches and remain the favorites as the home team.

• Hampshire to win @ 1.48 (Parimatch)
