ESS vs HAM Dream11 Prediction: Essex and Hampshire will face off in an important game of Vitality Blast here at Chelmsford. Essex is coming on the back off a close win over Somerset in the last game. They have the experience of Ryan ten Doeschate and Simon Harmer in their line-up. Jimmy Neesham was the star for them as he took them home with a quickfire 50. They will look to continue their winning momentum.
Meanwhile, Hampshire is coming from a big loss to Kent. They had a pretty ordinary game as their strong batting order failed to put runs on the board. T20 specialists like D’Arcy Short and James Vince can be devastating at the top. A quality spin duo of Liam Dawson and Mason Crane makes them a potent bowling unit too. Expect them to play better than the last game.
