Sussex vs Essex Betting Odds

Sussex to have a better opening partnership than Essex

Sussex’s Daniel Hughes and Tom Haines have had substandard opening partnerships in the last three matches, and they had a sudden upswing during the previous game.They added 98, 9, 0, 11 and 10 runs to the first wicket, but despite their performance the bookmakers are confident that they will pull one out of the bag in the next match. Essex’s first wicket has also been a tad unstable with totals of 24, 2, 19, 30, 50 and 188 runs in the last three encounters. Since their stands have declined over the course of the season, Sussex’s openers are expected to outdo Essex’s opening score.
