DUR vs SUS Team Bet:

The oddsmakers are yet to come up with odds for the forthcoming game. However, after a careful consideration of the past datas we have picked that one bet to make some handsome cash from the DUR vs SUS team betting tip.

Sussex to score low before 1st dismissal in first innings

Sussex are coming here after settling with a draw over Worcestershire. However, their opening pair is struggling to deliver with the bat. Sussex's opening pair has revolved around these players - Ali Orr, Tom Haines & Tom Clark this season . Sussex posted scores of 4, 35, 24, 13, 18, 12, 147, 79, 6 & 41 in their last five matches before the fall of the first wicket. This sums up to just 379 runs from ten innings, averaging almost 37.9 runs per innings before 1st dismissal. The openers have failed to collect runs on a regular basis and provide an explosive start to Sussex’s innings several times. Sussex’s scores in the last five head-to-head matches read - 68, 2, 0, 3, 8, 0, 5, 9 before the fall of the first wicket. This takes their average to just 11.8 runs per innings before the fall of the first wicket this season. Sussex posted seven single digits scores in their last eight innings against Durham which clearly depicts the inconsistency the two have at the top. Except for the hundred run partnership, their openers have posted low scores for the first wicket this season. On the flip side, Durham has done a fine job until now and has managed to restrict the opposition’s opening partnership. Durham leaked runs at an average of 37.6 before the fall of the first wicket against the opposition they have faced this season. Therefore, it shows that the Durham bowlers will not make it any easier for the already struggling opening pair of Ali Orr and Tom Haines. The numbers clearly work in favour of this betting tip thus making it a strong and a reliable one. Our affiliate partner 1XBET should be offering the best of odds in Sussex's favour to score low before 1st dismissal from the DUR vs SUS Day 1 match prediction.
