Derbyshire vs Essex Chance of Winning

Derbyshire have won just one out of their seven games so far and are all but out of the race for the qualification to thew quarterfinals. They have some in-form players like Caleb Jewell with the bat and Ben Aitchison with the ball and will hope that more players come to the party so that they can end their season on a high.

Essex, meanwhile, are in incredible form and are on a four-match winning streak, winning their previous game against Gloucestershire by a massive margin of 130 runs. Tom Westley’s form in the top-order and Matthew Critchley’s all-round efforts have been instrumental for them in their winning run. Charlie Bennett’s bowling form has also been a huge uptick for Essex and would keep them in good stead.

• DER’s chance of winning is 28%
• ESS’s chance of winning is 72%

In the 2024 season of the ODI Cup, Derbyshire managed 56 runs on average in the powerplay, making them one of the better sides in the competition. This year, they have continued the same as well, scoring at a strike rate of 103. So backing them to do well once again in the first 10 overs isn’t far-fetched.

Derbyshire vs Essex Best Batters

Caleb Jewell to be Derbyshire’s best batter (Parimatch)

Caleb Jewell continued his rich vein of form in the tournament with a well-made 98 against Hampshire in his previous game. He has now scored a staggering 422 runs in just six innings at a brilliant average of 70.33 with one century and three fifties to his name. It will be a straightforward decision to have Derbyshire’s highest run-scorer this season as one of your betting picks.

Tom Westley to be Essex’s best batter (Parimatch)

Tom Westley has been the highest run-scorer in the England Domestic One-Day Cup so far for Essex with as many as 443 runs from seven innings at an impressive average of 63.28 with one hundred and three fifties to his name. He is also the second-highest run-getter in the tournament and scored a fine 92 in his previous game against Gloucestershire. It is an absolute no-brainer to trust him with a decent stake.

Derbyshire vs Essex Best Bowlers

Ben Aitchison to be Derbyshire’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Ben Aitchison was the pick of the bowlers for Derbyshire in their previous fixture against Hampshire as he picked up figures of 3/50. He is also the highest wicket-taker in the tournament for Derbyshire so far with 11 wickets from just 5 innings at an economy rate of 5.69. His wicket-taking ability makes him a no-brainer to be trusted with a decent stake.

Charlie Bennett to be Essex’s best bowler (Parimatch)

Charlie Bennett has been the pick of the bowlers for Essex so far in this competition with 11 wickets from 6 innings at an economy rate of just 5.16. Bennett has the ability to swing the new ball both ways and can strike early if he gets the conditions in his favor. This makes him a smart choice to bet on.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Essex

Expect Essex to beat Derbyshire. The hosts have won just one out of their seven games so far this season and will not have much motivation left given they are already out of the rece to the quarterfinals. Moreover, Essex have a dominant head-to-head record against Derbyshire and have some in-form players like Tom Westley, Matthew Critchley and Charlie Bennett who will give them a great chance to win their fifth game in a row.
