James Vince's side has had a poor season. They lost to Surrey in the last game by 5 wickets and are out of contention for the quarterfinal. It has been a poor season for the team, which has won only three games. Vince would like the senior players in the team to come up with a strong show in the last game, end the season on a high, and take a few positives out of it.
James Vince must lead from the front and set up a big opening wicket with Ben McDermott, as the pair has been inconsistent. Joe Weatherley, Toby Albert, and Tom Prest must build partnerships in the middle order for the side to have a chance. James Fuller and Benny Howell would look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack has been inconsistent, and the team expects a good show from Brad Wheal and John Turner with the new ball, as the Essex Eagles have good stroke players. James Fuller, Eddie Jack, and Liam Dawson must bowl tight spells in the middle overs. Benny Howell has struggled with his form and needs to deliver the goods in the supporting role.

Simon Harmer's team went down against Surrey in the last game by 13 runs. This loss has pushed them to the fifth spot on the points table, where they are tied with Gloucestershire. They need a big win here and a loss for Gloucestershire to reach the quarterfinals. Harmer would expect a strong show from his players in this must-win contest.
The side will expect a good start in this game from Adam Rossington and Dean Elgar, as they are the best batsmen in the team. Michael-Kyle Pepper must anchor the innings in the middle order and add runs with Charlie Allison and Paul Walter. Matthew Critchley and Luke Benkenstein add firepower to the lower middle order, making this batting strong.
Sam Cook and Simon Harmer will look to get early breakthroughs and put pressure on the Hampshire Hawks. Eathan Bosch and Shane Snater did well in the middle overs, and the team expects a good show from them. Matthew Critchley, Benkenstein, and Paul Walter add depth to this bowling attack.

The skies over Southampton will be partly cloudy on July 19, and we expect to see a high-scoring game here. There would be some early movement for the bowlers, but batsmen can play their strokes freely on this surface. The side batting first would have to target a score of over 180 runs to win here.

The Rose Bowl, Southampton is one of the best batting wickets, and batsmen have been able to play their strokes freely. However, the ground is large and offers plenty of scoring opportunities in twos and threes. Fast bowlers do get their assistance when the ball is hard and new. Spinners need to use their variations well here.
Chasing scores has always been a safe choice at this venue, and four out of the last five games have been won by sides chasing the score. The wicket has always been a bit challenging early in the game. The side winning the toss shall not hesitate to bowl first in this game.
The Hampshire Hawks never saw their campaign pick up this season. They have struggled with the bat, and the bowlers haven't troubled the opponents. The side must pull up its socks and put up a good show to end the season on a high. The Essex Eagles have a stronger batting lineup, and the bowlers have done well, making them favorites.
