HAM vs SUR Match Prediction & Betting Tips - Aug 16, 2019

While there's hefty competition in the North group of the Vitality T20 Blast, the disparity between the top four sides and the bottom five sides is a lot more in the South group of table. Hampshire and Surrey are placed at the sixth and the seventh spot respectively at the ladder and will need to do really well to qualify from here. They both are set to face each other in a crucial contest in the context of qualification. The match is scheduled to be played on the evening of 16th August at The Ageas Bowl, Southampton.
HAM vs SUR Team Previews
Hampshire
Hampshire are coming off a massive defeat in their last game which rendered the chances of their qualification a little less likely. Batting first, Hampshire's batting failed yet again, as has been the case in the whole of the tournament, and were bundled out for just 140.
They needed early wickets to defend such a low total, but their bowlers failed to put any pressure whatsoever on the Gloucs' batsmen as Hampshire lost the match by seven wickets.
Barring Aneurin Donald, who has also been in on and off kind of form as the rest of their batsmen, none of their batsmen could get going against a lethal Gloucs attack. Donald scored 44 off just 23 deliveries.
Hampshire are still not out of quarter-final contention a win in this match might just set up things to get their confidence back. They have played one less game than most of the other teams in the tournament, and a win here could be crucial to their way ahead in the competition.

Surrey
With a couple of impressive wins in their last two matches, Surrey kept their hopes to qualify for the next round well and truly alive. They are coming off a massive win over Sussex Sharks which would have boosted their confidence to a high degree.
It was a scintillating innings by Sam Curran which made all the difference as Surrey defended down a relatively modest target against the Sharks. Imran Tahir and Tom Curran picked up three wickets each to halt Sussex's progress and restricted them to just 135, winning the match by 26 runs.
Although Surrey registered an vital win in their last two matches, they lost Tom Curran to an injury and his absence could play a decisive role in the upcoming game. Surrey are one of the better-balanced sides in the South Group of the competition and won't be easy to deal with for the out-of-form Hants.

HAM vs SUR Betting Tips
It's an important match for both sides. Surrey are coming off a massive win over table-toppers, which should have given them immense confidence. Having said that, the injury to Tom Curran could be a significant cause of concern for the management. Comparing the two teams on the performance in the tournament as a whole, there's hardly anything to choose between the two. However, Surrey have been a better side of late, and are, therefore, our pick to emerge on top in the upcoming fixture as well.
