SUS vs MID Match Prediction - Aug 23, 2022

After a long tussle lasting for around a month, we are finally into the back-end of the league stage. We just have one day to go in this stage and we'll see as many as eight matches getting underway. Not all games will have an impact on the standings, but some would definitely have and no team would want to end up second in those games.

Up next in the tournament, Sussex are set to take on Middlesex in a game that is important even though both sides have already qualified. This match will pretty much determine the eventual table toppers from Group A and both sides would want that.

The match between the two sides is to be played on 23rd August 2022 at the County Ground, Hove.

SUS vs MID Team Previews

Sussex

Sussex got off to a rather poor start to the competition but they didn't let that determine their future in the competition. At one point, Sussex were struggling to float in the middle of the points table but a spectacular second-half has seen them become the favorites to top the Group A.

As it currently stands on the points table, Sussex are placed at the top of the points table with 10 points to their name from seven matches. They have won five games and lost two. Besides, they have a terrific net run-rate of 1.734, courtesy of which they will qualify regardless of how they do in this upcoming match.

On paper, Sussex have a pretty well-balanced unit but the primary reason for their dominating position in the competition has been their middle-order. The likes of Cheteshwar Pujara, Delray Rawlins, and Fynn Hudson Prentice are as good as any in the middle. Also, with Ali Orr hitting form, they have a splendid top-order too.

Even though their bowling does look a little under-powered, their powerful batting unit is capable enough to cover for it. Sussex would need to continue playing to their strengths and if they can do that here in this match too, Middlesex will have their work cut out.

Middlesex

Middlesex haven't had a tournament to remember from quite some time now and their performance in this edition of the Royal London One Day Cup would certainly be refreshing. Unless they lose by a massive margin, which has been a trend for the sides facing Sussex, Middlesex would qualify for the next round, thanks to their net run-rate.

They are currently placed at the second spot on the Group A points table and a win here will push them to the top. They too have a pretty good net run-rate of 0.825, which shows how dominant they have been.

Middlesex were well on their way to top the table, but a loss at the hands of Gloucestershire has certainly hampered their plans to finish at the top. A win here will certainly be enough but that is not going to be easy.

Middlesex have a decent side with experience oozing right through. The addition of Umesh Yadav has certainly buffed up their team, which looked a bit out of balance earlier. Also, Stephen Eskinazi seems to be enjoying the responsibility as he has already produced some cracking performances. The likes of Mark Stoneman, Sam Robson, and Pieter Malan all have played their part too. All in all, they've got a pretty good side and if they are able to play to their potential, they will be in business big time.

SUS vs MID Betting Tips

This match may not have an impact on the final teams that get to qualify for the playoffs, both sides would still want to win this. The winner of this match will finish at the top of the ladder and that can be a big confidence booster going into the knockouts. While the two sides are pretty evenly balanced, Sussex have done better in the second half of the tournament. Also, they will be playing at their home turf, which can be a major advantage. Keeping all those factors into consideration, a bet on Sussex win should be the way to go here.
