HAM vs ESS Dream11 Team Prediction for T20 BLAST 2025 South Group Preview: The NatWest T20 Blast 2025 has started, and it will be a thrilling weekend with 12 teams in action in six matches. The last game of the day will bring Hampshire and Essex. This contest will begin at 11:30 PM IST on Friday at the Rose Bowl, Southampton. This is the first game for these sides, and they will start their campaigns. Neither team could make it to the quarterfinals in 2024. 

Essex were unlucky as they finished fifth in the group with 15 points. It was their NRR which stopped them from making it to the quarterfinals last season. They had similar points as Gloucestershire, which replaced them and went on to win the title. Hampshire, the three-time champion, had a below-average performance. They had only four wins in 14 games and were outplayed by other teams. They will be hoping for a better show this time around.

HAM vs ESS Dream11 Team Prediction – Who Will Win? 

The head-to-head contest between the two sides is pretty even. However, Hampshire have strengthened their batting unit for this season. James Vince is a seasoned performer, and Ali Orr will be the one to watch out for. They have also added Dewald Brevis, who is coming off a great IPL 2025. Essex have been slightly weaker in batting, as their key batter, Jordan Cox, has been ruled out of the tournament. Hence, Michael Pepper will have a lot of responsibility. 

As per our analysis and game stats and recent matches and squads of these two teams, there is a high probability that Hampshire might win this match. 

Although the winner can be entirely attributed to the ground stats and its records, so as per the ground stats, the chances of the team batting second are high, so the bowling-first team will likely win the South Group match of the T20 BLAST 2025. However, with cricket’s unpredictable nature and Essex can also win, this match could go either way. So please analyse on your part and then invest.
