Today’s Hampshire vs Middlesex Quarter Final 1 ODI 2025 Match Details

Team Preview

Hampshire Preview

Hampshire have been one of the most consistent teams in this year’s One Day Cup. Winning six out of eight group-stage matches, they built their success on strong batting performances and reliable bowling depth. Nick Gubbins has been their star, topping the run charts with 658 runs at a staggering average of 131.60. His consistency, coupled with Ali Orr’s stability at the top, has given Hampshire a strong platform in almost every game. With experienced campaigners like Kyle Abbott and James Fuller in the bowling department alongside wicket-takers Eddie Jack and Andrew Neal, Hampshire look like a well-balanced side ready to push further in the knockout stages.

Middlesex Preview

Middlesex’s journey to the quarter-finals was more dramatic. After a slow start, they turned things around in the latter half of the group stage with four wins in their last five games. Sam Robson’s 169* was one of the standout innings of the competition, while Joshua De Caires has impressed with his composure and three half-centuries. Their bowling, led by Henry Brookes and Luke Hollman, has peaked at the right time. Brookes’ pace has brought 13 wickets, while Hollman’s spin has delivered crucial breakthroughs. Playing at Radlett, their home venue, Middlesex will look to exploit familiar conditions, but Hampshire’s strength in batting depth poses a major challenge.
