TEAMS PREVIEW
Essex Preview
Essex started the campaign with a 4-wicket loss against Somerset. Since then, they have managed three consecutive wins against Middlesex, Glamorgan, and Middlesex again. The wins have been comprehensive, with none going to the wire.
However, Essex suffered a major defeat in the last game against Sussex. They lost to Sussex by 8 wickets, with 26 balls remaining, denting their NRR. Essex batted first to score 178 for 9 on the back of a couple of half centuries from Dean Elgar and Michael Pepper. No other batter could make significant contributions. In defence, they just managed to take 2 wickets and saw Sussex cruising to the target in the 16th over.
Essex captain Adam Rossington needs to make sure the team forgets this loss quickly and come back stronger in the important game against Hampshire at home ground.
Key players: Michael Pepper, Dean Elgar, Daniel Sams, Paul Walter
Essex Predicted Playing XI:
Adam Rossington (c & wk), Dean Elgar, Michael-Kyle Pepper, Jordan Cox, Paul Walter, Matthew Critchley, Daniel Sams, Luke Benkenstein, Shane Snater, Ben Allison, Aaron Beard.

Hampshire Preview
Like Essex, Hampshire will play the seventh game of the season on Thursday. The weather hasn’t been kind to them, with two games ending in no-result. While they received a point each in those games, it robbed them of the possibility of winning two more points and, more importantly, positively affecting the NRR.
In the three completed games so far this season, Hampshire managed two wins against Kent and Gloucestershire - by 3 wickets (1 ball remaining) and by 5 wickets (19 balls remaining). In their previous game, however, they had to suffer a defeat at the hands of Somerset by a big margin on 63 runs.
Chasing Somerset’s mammoth total of 241, Hampshire could only score 178. Barring James Vince and Ben McDermott at the top, no other batsman could make a meaningful contribution. This game was 10 days ago and Hampshire haven’t played a completed game since. Hampshire would need to quickly get back into the groove in this crucial contest.
Key players: Ben McDermott, James Vince, Liam Dawson, Michael Neser.
Hampshire Predicted Playing XI:
