Sussex vs Derbyshire Chances of Winning
Yorkshire chipped away at Sussex’s lead at the top by defeating the latter in their previous encounter. Surprisingly, the table toppers were sent packing for 189 in the first innings which is highly uncharacteristic of them.Tom Alsop’s unbeaten 86 and Daniel Hughes’s 53 were not enough to save the team since the others did virtually nothing. With Sussex in a vulnerable spot, Yorkshire piled on 326 runs during the chase to take the lead and make sure Sussex would have a tough time. Sussex ended up squandering their second chance as well by getting bundled out for 239; this time, it was skipper John Simpson and Tom Alsop’s 67 and 61, respectively, which kept the team afloat but in vain. Yorkshire made up the shortfall rather quickly and won by four wickets.
In a thrilling and unseemly turn of events, Derbyshire managed to cash in their first victory of the season in the previous game against Glamorgan where the latter were bundled out for 168. Derbyshire toiled away to snatch the lead and maintain the advantage, having scored 429 runs during their chase. Anuj Dal, Harry Came and Wayne Madsen were largely responsible for this as they scored 94, 84 and 70 runs, respectively. Glamorgan’s response of 287 did absolutely nothing to put a dent in Derbyshire’s gain as the latter had to score a measly 27 runs to celebrate a whopping ten-wicket triumph.

Sussex vs Derbyshire Betting Tips
Sussex to score over 29.5 before first dismissal @ 1.87 (Batery)
It is no secret that Sussex’s opening wicket has been a tad out of sorts but with Daniel Hughes in the picture, there is bound to be an improvement. Tom Haines has been their mainstay for the entire season and together, they are expected to bring in a great deal of advancement to Sussex’s first wicket, even though their partnerships of 5, 27, 29, 19, 18, 50, 66, 42 and 4 runs in the previous five games are slightly rocky.

Derbyshire Team Form
Derbyshire drew two matches and faced two thrashings in the previous five matches before they could bask in glory for the first time this season. However, their ability to sustain this form is debatable.

Sussex vs Derbyshire Betting Odds
Sussex to have a better opening partnership than Derbyshire
While Luis Reece has been Derbyshire’s linchpin at the front, his opening partner has changed in all of their previous three games. However, Harry Came returned in the last match and hopefully it will introduce a little stability to the wicket since their scores of 21, 27, 2, 0, 26 and 15 in the last three games are not entirely convincing. Sussex had a similar problem but the arrival of Daniel Hughes to open alongside Tom Haines is going to pay off massively for the team, despite the fact that their opening totals of 5, 27, 29, 19, 18 and 50 in the last three fixtures indicate room for improvement. Both teams are in a similar boat at the moment but Sussex are expected to reap the benefits of the revamp more than Derbyshire.

Sussex vs Derbyshire Best Batters
Daniel Hughes to be Sussex’s Best Batter
Daniel Hughes made a late entry into the tournament but after four innings thus far, he has scored 113 runs with an average of 28.25. This is not a particularly remarkable feat but he achieved his first half-century of the season in the previous game against Yorkshire, having amassed 53 runs in the first innings. The second innings was a bit of a let down with 12 runs but he is expected to come back stronger in the next game.
Wayne Madsen to be Derbyshire’s Best Batter
Wayne Madsen amassed his fourth half-century of the season in the previous game against Glamorgan, having scored 70 runs in the first innings. He leads Derbyshire’s run charts with 538 runs in 16 innings and an average of 35.86 and will be expected to lead the way once again.
Sussex vs Derbyshire Best Bowlers
Jack Carson to be Sussex’s Best Bowler
Jack Carson went absolutely ham on the opposition in the previous match against Yorkshire wherein he got his first fifer of the season during his first spell and went on to add another four wickets to the tally in the following innings. He is the joint highest wicket-taker for the team with 30 wickets in 15 innings and a bowling average of 26.13, making him the top pick against Derbyshire as well.
Zak Chappell to be Derbyshire’s Best Bowler
Zak Chappell leads Derbyshire’s bowling attack with 23 wickets in 12 innings and an average of 29.73. His first spell against Glamorgan in the previous outing was nothing short of exceptional as he picked six wickets in 16 overs. He went on to take one more wicket in the second innings and will be anticipated to decimate the opposition in the next match as well.
