Sussex vs Surrey Betting Tips

Sussex to score high before first dismissal

In the tournament so far, they have secured totals of 24, 184, 21 and 59 runs in the two matches they have played. Additionally, Hughes and Haines have averages of 48.00 and 51.50, respectively, which makes them a highly dependable duo to set up another big total as they take on Surrey.

Sussex vs Surrey Toss Prediction

County Ground in Hove was much more favorable to the fielding side last season and the toss winners chose to field first on all seven occasions. However, the first game of the present season was quite an anomaly since Sussex chose to bat first against Somerset but still won by a landslide. Despite this result, the toss winner of the next match will want to chase.

Weather Report

Light rain is expected at Hove with a 25% likelihood of a downpour, coupled with a maximum temperature of 15 degrees Celsius on match day.

Sussex vs Surrey Betting Odds

Sussex to have a better opening partnership than Surrey

Rory Burns and Dom Sibley’s partnerships have not been particularly great in the last two matches, especially in terms of their consistency. Together, they added 3, 56, 8 and 38 runs to the first wicket and their stability is something which needs to be worked upon. On the other hand, Sussex’s openers have been on a much better plane with scores of 24, 184, 21 and 59 runs in the previous two games between Daniel Hughes and Tom Haines. The latter have better consistency and opening totals, making them the favorite pair for the upcoming fixture.

Sussex vs Surrey Best Batters

John Simpson to be Sussex’s Best Batter

John Simpson was among the top scorers for Sussex during the previous match against Somerset where he missed on what would have been his first half-century of the season, having been dismissed for 47. However, he went on to score his second ton with an unbeaten 110 in the following innings. He has 360 runs in four innings and an average of 180.00, making him Sussex’s top batter and the leading choice for the next game.

Dom Sibley to be Surrey’s Best Batter

Dom Sibley notched up two back-to-back centuries in the previous outing against Hampshire where he scored 100 runs in the first innings and 105 in the second innings. He now leads Surrey’s run charts with 274 runs in four innings, including two tons and a half-century. With an average of 91.33, he is expected to be their top batter against Sussex.

Sussex vs Surrey Best Bowlers

Sean Hunt to be Sussex’s Best Bowler

Sean Hunt took part in his first match this season against Somerset where he was the leading wicket-taker with a fifer in the first innings and a four-wicket haul in the second innings. He is already the top bowler for Sussex with nine wickets in two innings and a stellar average of 8.44. He is the top pick for the next match.

Daniel Worrall to be Surrey’s Best Bowler

Daniel Worrall played his first match of the season against Hampshire where he was among the top bowler with three wickets in the first innings. Although he went wicketless in the following innings, his average of 31.33 is the best of the team and he remains the top contender for the upcoming fixture.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Sussex

Sussex were tough to beat in the Division Two last season and their promotion to the Division One is quite justified, given that they were able to take their first win after a solid batting display. They are third on the table with one win and a draw while Surrey are down in seventh with two successive draws. Although Surrey have a 2-1 scoreline against Sussex in the last five matches, the latter are in a better position to emerge victorious this time around.

• Sussex to win @ 2.27 (Parimatch)
