Notts Outlaws v Hampshire Hawks – Team News

• Jake Ball – The Notts seamer has struggled with a back injury this season. The issue reoccured in the Hundred but Notts will hope he has recovered in time for this.
• Alex Hales – The exciting opener will again lead Nottingham’s charge for T20 Blast glory. He now sits in the top five run-scorers this year and will be keen to add more.
• Ben Duckett – The batsman can have another big role to play for the Outlaws. He had a fine Hundred competition and should relish a return to Trent Bridge.
• James Vince – Hampshire skipper Vince heads into this fresh from captaining the Southern Brave to be the first title winners of the Hundred. He is also Hampshire’s top run-scorer in the Blast this year.
• Mason Crane – The spinner was consistent in the Hundred and has progressed well for Hampshire in the Blast in 2021. However, it could be tough going at Trent Bridge.

Notts Outlaws v Hampshire Hawks – Betting Tips and Predictions

Our experts have cricket betting tips for this contest. These are based on all the latest odds and player form.

Weatherley a Big Price for Top Batsman

Joe Weatherley is another young batsman that has done well in the T20 Blast in 2021.

The Hampshire youngster sits just 32 runs behind skipper James Vince in the tournament run-scorer table and can add more in this fixture.

He can be backed at 6.0 with 1xBet to be the Hawks’ top batsman. Vince looks the big danger to this bet but D’Arcy Short has been well out of nick for the Rockets in the Hundred.

It would be no surprise to see Weatherley hit more runs coming in at number four.

Currie is a Value Bet

Young seamer Scott Currie has had an excellent Blast campaign for the Hawks and looks a value play in the top Hampshire bowler market.

The 20-year-old has taken 15 wickets in just seven games this T20 Blast and can add more if selected in Nottingham.

He has been on form in the One-Day Cup and can carry that forward to this fixture.

His price of 5.0 with bet365 is too big to ignore.

Duckett to Shine at Trent Bridge

Ben Duckett enjoyed a solid Hundred campaign for Welsh Fire and is an interesting pick in the top Nottingham batsman market.

While Alex Hales and Joe Clarke are the obvious picks, it could be worth siding with Duckett in this one.

He was second in the Hundred run-scorer charts and it is a return to Trent Bridge that most appeals.

The 26-year-old hit an unbeaten 74 the last time he played at his home ground.

His price of 4.5 with 1xBet looks appealing, especially if one of the openers falls early.
