I have already handpicked the top three winning bets for you. Just go through them and invest strategically to win easy cash by the end of the day.

Stephen Eskinazi to score over 22.5 runs @ 1.83 (Bet 365)

The right-hander has taken the T20 Blast by storm this season, with his explosive batting and there's no doubt that Stephen Eskinazi is set to continue buck the trend. In the five matches played this season, his scores were - 2, 51, 79, 84, 24, scoring a total of 240 runs, at an average of 48 per innings. Even in the last season, the right-hander racked up a total of 256 runs in 11 matches, at a rate of 32 runs per innings, which perfectly fits our case.

The batsman seems to enjoy playing at the Lord's, which is also their home ground, with him registering scores of 51, 79, 84 (214 runs at an average of 71.3 runs) at the venue this season.Overall, he's played 13 matches at this particular ground, with him scoring 383 runs at an average of 38.30 runs per innings. Moreover, in the 36 T20s he's played, the top order batsman has amassed a total of 975 runs, at a rate of 33.62 runs per innings. We have no option but to invest on this bet.

Middlesex to have the highest opening stand @ 1.72 (Bet 365)

Middlesex's opening batsmen have owned the opposition bowlers so far, with them having the better partnership than their opponents in three of the four completed matches this season, having scored 143 runs (35.75 runs per innings) before the fall of the first wicket, while conceded just 105 runs in the same. In the last four matches at the venue, the home team has outscored the visitors on three occasions, with them scoring almost 40 runs on an average and shipping in just 28.75 runs on an average.

Meanwhile, Hampshire have been outscored for the opening stand in two of the last four matches, with them scoring just 77 runs (19.25 per innings), while conceding 180 runs (45 runs per innings). Hampshire's away record in this regard is even more disappointing, with them having the better opening stand just once in the last five matches, with them piling up 112 runs (22.4 runs per innings), while conceding a total of 247 runs (almost 50 per innings). Lastly, Middlesex have had the better opening stand in two of the last three H2H matches against Hampshire, with them scoring 128 runs (42.6 per innings) and conceding 115 runs (38.33 runs per innings). What are you waiting for? Just place your bets.

Hampshire to hit more than 12.5 fours @ 1.90 (Bet 365)

As per the recent form, this might look like a risky bet, but actually it's not, I can vouch for it. Even though Hampshire have just once hit 13 or more boundaries this season, the match against Middlesex might not follow the trend. In the four five H2H matches between these two sides, Hampshire have always hit more than 12 boundaries, with a tally of 79 fours (19.75 per innings), which gives us a hint. On the other hand, Middlesex have conceded at least 13 boundaries in four of their five matches this season, having let in 71 boundaries (14.2 per match).

Lord's might be a safehouse for Middlesex, but they've never managed to check the flow of boundaries, with them letting in 72 in the last five matches (14.4 per innings), with four matches registering 13 boundaries or more. With batsmen like Jame Fuller, Joe Weatherley and Tom Alsop slowly finding their lost touch as the season is progressing, we ought to expect at least 13 boundaries from the Hampshire side. With almost double the money on offer from this bet, there's no way we can ignore this one.
