LAN vs HAM Match Prediction & Analysis
Lancashire will take on Hampshire at the same venue where they lost their last match chasing a massive total of 411 runs against Leicestershire. In spite of a hundred from the skipper, Lanachisre fell short by 95 runs.
And in the previous game, Lancashire posted a 328-run total and successfully defended it as they won by 125 runs. The last two games have seen Lancashire’s performance swing from one extreme to another.
Hampshire, on the other hand, suffered their first defeat of the season after winning 3 consecutive matches. It was a competitive total Hampshire managed to post while batting first, but it was the same opposition that humbled Lancashire, that chased down 297 against Hampshire.
Though both teams are coming into this game on the back of a loss, they’ve got great potential and will be very competitive in this contest.
While Lancashire have a deep batting lineup with many impressive players Hampshire will be backing their bowling attack to give them the upper hand.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Lancashire Preview
Lancashire will take positives from their recent match against the mighty Leicestershire. They have a great many players who can help them bounce back with the same performances they delivered against Kent in Blackpool.
Both openers are in great touch and will be expected to get them off to a good start. With Josh Bohannon and Dane Vilas at 3 and 4 also looking good and scoring consistently, we expect some good partnerships in the middle order.
Right arm medium fast bowler Tom Bailey showed his batting skills in the last game scoring 60 off 42 balls at number 9 while chasing a massive target of 412 runs.
George Balderson, who scored 57 off 28 against Kent failed to get going the run chase. He is a crucial figure in the middle order. Dane Vilas, Balderson, and wicket-keeper batter Matthew Hurst play a key role in the middle and lower middle order.
Their contributions are crucial for a big finish. One of the openers and one middle-order batsman need to play long innings and build partnerships while Balderson or Hurst can be the finisher for Lancashire.
Will Williams, Jack Blatherwick, and Tom Bailey will be key bowlers in this setup. Though some of the bowlers were very expensive in the last game, they can bounce back and pose a tough challenge to Hampshire.
Lancashire Predicted Playing XI:
Keaton Jennings (c), Josh Bohannon, George Bell, Dane Vilas, George Balderson, Matthew Hurst (wk), Thomas Aspinwall, Jack Blatherwick, Tom Bailey, Will Williams, Jack Morley

Hampshire Preview
Hampshire will be looking to get back to winning ways as they face a strong Lancashire side in Manchester. While their top-order is still in fine touch, the middle and lower-middle order leaves a lot to expect.
Though 296 runs aren’t bad if they are going up against a mighty batting order on a good batting wicket, it will not be enough.
Tom Prest will be the key batter at number 3 for Hampshire. Nick Gubbins and Prest will be expected to continue their good run of form and build some significant partnerships.
Aneurin Donald, Toby Albert, and Ian Holland are all capable of scoring runs in the lower middle order. However, it seems like the batting just stops with Toby Albert at number 6.
And if that is the case, Aneurin Donald and Toby Albert need to play a bigger knock and stay till the end of the innings. They’ve also got Ben Brown in the middle order who isn’t in great touch.
The bowlers will have done most of the job for Hampshire in their wins. And they will be once again tested as they bowl to a strong lineup on a great batting wicket.
Ian Holland, Mason Crane, and Keith Barker are the key bowlers who’ve led the attack with consistent wickets and economical bowling.
Hampshire Predicted Playing XI:
Nick Gubbins (c), Fletcha Middleton, Tom Prest, Ben Brown (wk), Aneurin Donald, Toby Albert, Ian Holland, Scott Currie, Mason Crane, Edward Vaughan Jack, Keith Barker

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a great batting wicket where over 700 runs were scored in the last game. It won’t be easy to find wickets unless the batters are under pressure of chasing a big total. Seam bowlers can find some movement off the surface but have to be very accurate with their plans. The weather will be partly cloudy with a high of 20 degrees Celsius.
LAN vs HAM Pitch Report
Pitch Condition
Batting Conditions
Pace Bowling
Spin Bowling
Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester will host this encounter between Lancashire and Hampshire. Though in ODIs, the average 1st innings score here is just 229 runs, given the current pitch conditions, we reckon at least 300+ should be on the cards for the team batting first. A 310-320 runs total would be a match-winning score on this ground.
Toss: To Bat
This season there are only two matches scheduled to be played at this venue and it looks like the team batting first will have the upperhand. Though the pitch would stay batitng friendly in the second innings as well, with runs on the board, team batting first will always have an advantage.
LAN vs HAM
Winning Prediction
The home team looks in great touch and though they are placed 6th in the points table they have what it takes to jump in the rankings. A strong batting lineup with in-form and consistent players is their biggest strength. However, the visitors also have a solid bowling attack that has delivered for them consistently. There are reliable batters in the Hampshire top order too.
Overall, it is a close contest between the two teams with Hampshire starting with a slight edge in this match.
