Hampshire will be up against an in-form Leicestershire at The Rose Bowl in Southampton as they look for their 4th consecutive win.
It promises to be a close contest between the top two teams as both have got some incredible players who’ve been in fine form. Leicestershire scored 411 runs in their last game while batting first against Lancashire.
On the other hand, Hampshire successfully defended 254 runs against the Notts in their last outing. While both teams have deep batting lineups, Leicestershire’s looks more promising given the recent contributions from the lower order.
Colin Ackerman at number 5 and Wiaan Mulder at number 6 are the key players with the bat for Leicestershire. The two are in their best form and are delivering consistently.
Scott Curie, Mason Crane, and Ian Holland are wreaking havoc with the ball and will be the key players in the Hampshire squad.

Nick Gubbins will be a happy skipper with his team winning 3 consecutive matches at the start of their one-day cup campaign. They are now up against the table toppers whose game is on a whole different level.
Gubbins will expect his bowlers to bring their A-game as they face the best batting lineup of the tournament. Not only does the opposition have a deep batting lineup, but there are many in-form players in this lineup.
Brad Wheal and Ian Holland would lead the pace attack while Mason Crane will be crucial with his leg-break bowling. These three will be key wicket-taking bowlers along with Scott Curie who is also economical and find the odd breakthrough.
While Nick Gubbins is leading from the front in the batting department, he needs from the middle order. Ben Brown and Aneurin Donald will be crucial at 4 and 5. They played a key role in Hampshire’s successful run chase against Essex.
The 21-year-old Toby Albert showed his skills with the bat in the last game where Hampshire suffered a collapse. After the team was 62-4 having lost both Brown and Donald, Toby Albert and skipper Nick Gubbins added 88 runs for the 5th wicket.
Hampshire need to quickly fix their batting to avoid another collapse and bounce back strongly against the mighty Leicestershire.

After two back-to-back wins, Leicestershire suffered a defeat against Nottinghamshire. Their batting was humbled by the Notts as Leicestershire were 6 down for 78 runs while batting first.
Mulder led the fightback and with an unbeaten 84 off 92 balls, got the team total to 214 runs. While Leicestershire lost the game by 4 wickets, they were quick enough to turn things around as they posted a massive total of 411 runs batting first in the very next match.
They will be pretty confident going into this match with many of their batters in great touch. Colin Ackerman scored a brilliant hundred off just 62 balls in the last game and along with Wiaan Mulder is a crucial figure in the lower middle order.
These two can make a huge impact in the death overs and help deliver a big finish. While skipper Lewis Hill is struggling to find his form at number 3, openers Rishi Patel and Soloman Budinger are in fine touch.
Batting is Leicestershire’s biggest strength and it will be tested against the hosts’ in-form bowling attack. On the bowling front, Roman Walker and Josh Hull will be expected to deliver their best. Wiaan Mulder has been a little out of touch lately while Chris Wright and Colin Ackerman are other key bowlers to watch out for.

It is a well-balanced pitch that offers plenty of help for both batters and bowlers. There is movement off the pitch for the pacers and with the new ball there will be swing too. It will be a tough contest between the bat and the ball on this pitch. It will be partly cloudy in Southampton with a high of 21 degrees Celsius.

The Rose Bowl in Southampton will host the Hampshire vs Leicestershire match. It is a popular venue that has hosted 29 one-day internationals and the average 1st innings score here is 255 runs. We reckon a 275+ 1st innings score will be a match-winning total on this ground.
The bowlers will find some help here and allow the team to put pressure on the opposition. Given the batting depth in both sides, chasing can be effective and the current bowling form of Hampshire will definitely allow them to assert dominance if they bowl first.
It is a neck-to-neck competition between these two sides. Both teams are in great touch and there are many match-winners in both teams. Leicestershire looks very threatening with a deep batting lineup that features many reliable players who can lead a comeback even after losing a few wickets early on. Hampshire’s bowling is in sublime form and can pose a threat to the visitors.
However, with the home advantage, and a consistent bowling attack in contrast to the expensive bowling of the opposition, Hampshire seems to have a slight edge and will be our favorites to win.
