At Radlett Cricket Club in Radlett, Middlesex (MID) and Hampshire (HAM) will square off in match 52 of the Vitality Blast 2023 on June 6. Middlesex have lost all their games this season and are positioned at the bottom of the table. Hampshire have won three out of their five games played so far.
The major reason for Middlesex's poor performance this season is that they are losing their wickets in bulk to the opponents they play. Middlesex have played six games and have lost 10 wickets on three occasions and nine wickets in a couple of matches. In addition, they let the opponent score 180 plus whenever they bowled first in this tournament. Another important area is that they lack an all-rounder who can put on a commendable show with both bat and ball. In their previous encounter with Gloucestershire, Middlesex batted first. They managed to put 139 runs for the loss of nine wickets on the board. Jack Davies' unbeaten 46 and Max Holden's valuable 34 helped to reach this score. Additionally, the all-rounders Luke Hollman and Joshua De Caires took one wicket each, but there were no significant contributions from others while defending this low score, resulting in another failure for Middlesex.
On the other hand, Hampshire are exactly opposite to Middlesex. Though they started the tournament with an unimaginable loss, they had a strong top-order performance in the following games. They have played five games this season and have lost all 10 wickets just once. They chased down the score in their last contest against Sussex without losing any wicket. Hampshire restricted Sussex to a score of just 144 due to an excellent bowling performance from Liam Dawson and Scott Currie. In their batting department, opener Ben McDermott made his first half-century in 14 innings, and James Vince scored 71 runs off 39 deliveries. Vince became the leading run-scorer in Vitality Blast and finished this game along with McDermott.

Player Picks
Liam Dawson HAM | ALL
Dawson is in top wicket-taking form for Hampshire. His orthodox bowling style suits this venue. He has picked up nine wickets in the last five games. Also, the top-order batters in Middlesex are right-handed batters, so it's safe to position him as captain.
James Vince HAM | BAT
James Vince has looked in great touch, especially in the last four innings, when he consistently scored 70 or more runs, including a hundred, at a commendable strike rate. In addition, he averages 69, and his strike rate is 162 in the last 10 innings.

Ryan Higgins
MID | ALL
Ryan Higgins is an all-rounder who bowled in his initial games but was very expensive and has picked just two wickets in four games. He's getting a start in his batting but failing to convert it big whenever the team needs it. Another important reason is that in the last two games, he has not got the opportunity to bowl.
Ross Whiteley
HAM | BAT
He's batting in the lower middle order and not getting enough chances to bat. He has batted in three innings and has scored just 22 runs. He's an all-rounder, but he has not bowled a single over this season.
