The surface at The Rose Bowl is a bit on the slower side. The batters will have to be patient early on in their innings. They will have to adapt to the conditions before they can start playing high-risk strokes. The spinners enjoy bowling here as the ball grips off the surface. With an average first innings score of 162, it can be safely assumed that the pitch is not entirely ideal for batting. Furthermore, out of 67 domestic one-day matches played, only on 24 occasions has a team been able to chase successfully.

Both teams have pretty much been at the top of their game so far. Even by looking at their past head-to-head encounters, both teams are pretty much at par with very little to separate the two. However, Hampshire has a marginally better win record than Worcestershire so our win predictor tilts slightly in favour of Hampshire.
