Hampshire Hawks Betting Analysis

Arguably the main source of Hampshire’s struggles across this tournament has been the failure to provide adequate batting support to Shan Masood. The overseas signing has racked up 145 runs across three innings for the Hawks, including 79 in a losing effort vs Guyana Amazon Warriors last time out. He should be the first port of call for bettors looking for a value investment within this Hampshire side against Victoria, specifically backing Masood to record his third fifty of the competition.

Victoria Betting Analysis

Despite the best efforts of Dominic Drakes, Victoria were beaten in their most recent league stage contest at the hands of Lahore Qalandars. Drakes is a West Indian bowler, but has plied his trade for Victoria across the Global Super League, picking up four wickets across his last two appearances, including three against the Qalandars. With that in mind, consider backing the in-form Drakes to pick up 2+ Hampshire wickets.

Hampshire Hawks vs Victoria Expert Prediction

Whilst you could argue that Hampshire Hawks boast the strongest individual batter among both teams, the strength in depth of Victoria’s batting line-up trumps that of three-time T20 Blast winners and playing on tough pitches to score quickly, such a factor can wind up being crucial. Hampshire have no choice but to play more recklessly in a bid to not just win, but also make up the net-run-rate deficit and this may well play into Victoria’s hands as they can focus on their own game without needing to take as many risks. Therefore, the shrewd play seems to be backing a Victoria win.
