Hampshire Hawks Betting Analysis
Whilst the core of Hampshire Hawks’ T20 side will feature in this tournament, they are without captain James Vince due to him already having signed a contract to play in the 2024 Abu Dhabi T10. Bowler Chris Wood will captain the team in his absence, whilst the Hawks have drafted in spin-bowler and former player Danny Briggs, with Pakistan batter Shan Masood also joining as an overseas player.
But one Hampshire star in particular who should adapt well to conditions in the West Indies is all-rounder Liam Dawson. A quality operator with bat and ball, Dawson’s left-arm spin bowling is a huge weapon for the Hawks and on what could be slow, low pitches, a player with the skills of Dawson is likely to profit. Back him to take 2+ wickets in this game.
Rangpur Riders Betting Analysis
Like Hampshire, Rangpur Riders can call upon a large domestic core, which forms the bulk of their squad. Well-known faces such as Mahedi Hasan and Nurul Hasan are present, whilst overseas positions have been filled by players from both England and USA. Wayne Madsen and Zak Chappell may feature, as could Harmeet Singh, one of the players who helped the United States make national headlines at the ICC T20 World Cup earlier this year.
Should Madsen play against Hampshire then he is the sort of experienced campaigner that could turn out to be the ace Rangpur need within their batting order. Although Madsen isn’t familiar with playing Hampshire due to his Derbyshire side playing in a different T20 Blast division, he will be well aware of what he’s set to be up against and boasts the shots capable of seeing him score quickly. Consider a stake on Madsen to finish here as Rangpur’s top batter.
Hampshire Hawks vs Rangpur Riders Expert Prediction
Another exciting encounter is on the cards and we could be in for a close finish. Hampshire being without their captain is a huge blow. Not only is Vince capable of a high volume of runs, his leadership is general has been worth its weight in gold to Hampshire over the years.
Rangpur Riders are not to be underestimated and could be better equipped to handle conditions in Guyana. However, the Hawks boasts significant depth down the order with the likes of Benny Howell and James Fuller, whilst they have replaced Vince smartly with Masood. This makes them the side worth backing to pick up the points.
