HAM vs ESS Dream11 : Both Essex and Hampshire head out against each other looking to rejuvenate their floundering campaigns
Advertisement
Four matches, 1 win, 2 defeats and 1 abandoned encounter. Both of our opponents for today come bearing the same identity, seeing them stacked right next to each other in South Zone as we reach the halfway mark of the group stage matches.
For Essex Eagles and Hampshire, Vitality Blast 2019 has shaped up in exactly the same way. The two outfits have failed to inspire, massively underachieving and failing to unlock their true potential to see them chasing the top four spots, a pursuit which begins starting today.
For either side, a win today would be worth gold, seeing the winner finally ease ahead of the other and seeing them stem what has been an otherwise campaign till now. While Essex saw their previous encounter against Gloucestershire be curtailed owing to incessant rain, Hampshire on the other hand finally managed to achieve their first win.
After going through a tepid time, one which saw them winless in three encounters, they managed to chase down the 174 run target set infront of them by Somerset with four wickets to spare. It was a momentous occasions for the side, one which they’ll be buoyed by as they head out against Essex today in pursuit of their second win on the bounce.
Pitch Conditions And Toss
Ever since Vitality Blast 2018, we have had some wonderful batting performances regale us at this surface with the average score while batting first climbing as high as 176. Being a comparatively smaller ground, coupled with batting conducive conditions, the side winning the toss will be looking to field first over here.

Dream 11 Picks
Wicket-Keepers for HAM vs ESS Dream11
Despite coming out to bat right in the lower middle-order for his side, we are choosing Hampshire’s Lewis McManus for this match. He’s always gotten a chance to come out and bat with his side’s batting order being an extremely jittery one with him even going on to take his side to a win in the last match with 15 runs in 5 balls.
Batsmen for HAM vs ESS Dream11
Continuing with our picks for Hampshire, we are going to continue to keep James Vince in our side despite the player having yet to impress for the outfit. He’s not lived upto the expectations accorded from him but is a way better player than the runs he’s managing to get and today could be the day he finally gets a bagful of runs.
Opener Aneurin Donald is going to play an extremely important role in seeing away the moving new ball for his side today especially after getting 48 runs the last time around and we are going to indulge in him as well. Elsewhere fro Essex Eagles, we have their highest run scorer, Cameron Delport make an entry into our side along with Tom Westley.
All-Rounders for HAM vs ESS Dream11
The two all-rounders enter our playing 11 for this encounter from Hampshire with us indulging in the duo of Chris Morris and Liam Dawson. The two are quissential to their side’s success on the day, two names who will be heavily involved in not just the batting but bowling side of things as well.
The two hold the identity of perfect all-rounders, akin to one Ryan Ten Doeschate does for Essex. A fulcrum of their side, the mainstay has never hesitated from taking centrestage and mustering together some brilliant batting and bowling performances, one which epitomise his penchant for the side.
Bowling Order for HAM vs ESS Dream11
Kyle Abbott is our sole selection from Hampshire with the pacer set to lead the charge for his side. From Essex elsewhere he have opted for a two man partnership, brining in the deadly combination of Matthew Quinn and Chris Wood given how instrumental the two are going to be for their side today.
Captain And Vice-Captain
We are picking out Delport to captain our side for this match while Ryan is our vice-captain.
