Essex have continued their poor form from the Vitality T20 Blast into the Metro Bank One Day Cup, starting the season with back-to-back losses. Their latest defeat was a five-wicket loss against Hampshire.
Batting first, Essex were bowled out for 285 runs in 49.3 overs. After the early dismissal of Matt Critchley for a duck, Robin Das (50 runs) and Tom Westley (61 runs) added 99 runs for the second wicket, but both batters got out in quick succession. Charlie Allison top-scored with 80 runs off 90 balls, and in the death overs, wicketkeeper-batter Simon Fernandes scored 41 runs off 38 balls, powering their total past the 280-run mark.
Despite a good batting effort, Essex's bowlers couldn't step up, and Hampshire chased down the target comfortably in 46.2 overs. Tom Westley was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 3/39, and Charlie Bennett took 2/46.

On Sunday, August 10th, the weather in Chelmsford is expected to be sunny with a high of 25°C. There is a low chance of precipitation at just 5%, with humidity around 47% and a wind speed of 11 km/h.
The surface at County Ground, Chelmsford favours the batters and it is a high scoring venue, last season all the four matches have been high scoring where in six of the eight innings have recorded more than 280 runs and the average 1st innings score in the last four matches is 301. Expect another high scoring contest in this fixture.
Teams batting first have won 8 of the last 12 Metro Bank One Day Cup matches played at County Ground, Chelmsford. The conditions at Chelmsford favor teams batting first earlier in the season, and we predict the team that wins the toss will opt to bat first.
Worcestershire Rapids are the favorites to win this contest. The Rapids hold the upper hand as they have a solid batting lineup, while Essex lacks depth and is currently out of form. Essex's record over the last two seasons at Chelmsford has been poor, with them winning only one of the eight One Day Cup matches played there. We are backing the Worcestershire Rapids to win this match.
Worcestershire to Win!
