Warwickshire will host their opponent at the Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham on May 26. The match is scheduled to commence from 9:00 PM IST. Ahead of the matchday, I have accumulated three of the top money making betting tips for you from the WAR vs NOR head-to-head contest.

Both the sides, WAR & NOR have always enjoyed a close knit competition between them. The two sides have collided on 36 different occasions with Warwickshire bagging the most number of victories (19). The two sides met twice last season with Warwickshire picking up both victories by 14 runs & 55 runs respectively. However, Northamptonshire leads the tally by 3-2 in terms of the victories in the last five head-to-head meetings. Northamptonshire had a disastrous campaign last time around. With just four victories and eight hovering defeats from 13 fixtures, NOR finished at the foot of the table. WAR on the contrary finished fourth last season with seven victories and six defeats from 13 matches. However, they were eliminated by eventual champions Kent in the quarter final stage of the competition. As we gear up for this gem of a contest, let us have a closer look at the top team & player betting tips from the WAR vs NOR head-to-head encounter.

WAR vs NOR Player Bets:

Sam Hain and Ricardo Vasconcelos are my top two player betting tips from the WAR vs NOR head-to-head encounter.

Sam Hain To Score Over 24.5 Runs

There’s no doubt that the Hong Kong born English cricketer, Sam Hain loves to play against the Northants. At the age of 18, Hain became the youngest player to score a First-class century for his side and later that season he also became the youngest player to score a double century. With 398 runs from 14 matches, averaging almost 39.80, Sam Hain became the leading run getter for his side Warwickshire last season. He also ranked 10th in the run scoring charts overall. The 26-year-old has been at the Edgbaston stadium on 36 different occasions to add 936 runs at an decent average of 28.40. He has played 12 matches against the Northants and has added 227 runs to his tally of total runs at an average of 20.60. The right-handed batsman played twice against NOR last season and posted scores of 2, 69*. His scores in the last ten Blast games read 2, 83, 15, 5, 2, 35, 45, 69, 25 & 53. Overall in his T20 Blast career of about 74 matches, Hain has struck 2249 runs at an scintillating average of 36.90. Sam Hain is coming off after playing some Championship cricket wherein he scored an unbeaten double century against the Northants. Considering all these, we have backed Sam Hain to score massively in the forthcoming match. Pari Match should be offering the best of odds from the WAR vs NOR head-to-head contest.

Ricardo Vasconcelos To Score Over 19.5 Runs

A left-handed wicket-keeper batsman, Ricardo Vasconcelos got a chance to play for the Northants due to a Portuguese passport. The South African cricketer racked up 364 runs from 12 matches averaging almost 33.09 last season. He finished the season being the leading run getter for Northamptonshire. The 24-year-old has played against Birmingham Bears four times in his T20 Blast career and has amassed 127 runs from them averaging almost 31.80. Vasconcelos’s scores against WAR last season read 39 & 36. He has been at the Edgbaston Stadium twice and has scored runs at an average of 32.00. He has posted scores of 39, 3, 60, 30, 16, 41, 78 in the last T20 Blast matches. The southpaw holds an experience of about 21 T20 Blast matches wherein he has accumulated 492 runs to his tally of total runs at an decent average of 24.60. Ricardo is coming off after playing Championship cricketer for his side. He recently scored 156 off 197 deliveries against Warwickshire. The stats clearly work in favour of this betting tip thus making it a strong one for this game. Pari Match should be offering the best of odds from the WAR vs NOR head-to-head contest.

WAR vs NOR Team Bet:

Mentioned below is the top team betting tip from the WAR vs NOR head-to-head encounter.

Northamptonshire To Score Under 22.5 Runs Before 1st Dismissal

Northamptonshire had a terrible campaign last time around finishing at the bottom of the North Group table with just four wins from 13 matches. The Northants batters also failed to capitalise before the fall of the first wicket. In the initial few games it was skipper A Rossington and R Levi to open the innings for NOR. But later, they tried with R Vasconcelos and B Curran. However, none of the opening combs seemed to work in favour of them. Northamptonshire accumulated 358 runs from 12 matches last season for the opening wicket which takes their average to 29.83. The side posted scores of 6, 3, 101, 37, 46, 21, 125, 5, 2, 5, 7 & 0 last season. Except for a couple of big scores, the batters failed to provide an explosive start for them. This shows the level of inconsistency the opening batters have had last season. Northamptonshire’s total before the fall of the first wicket read 6, 5, 2, 40 & 32 in the last five head-to-head meetings against Warwickshire. These are not great numbers to have. Warwickshire leaked runs at an average of just 32.00 in the last five Blast games. The opposition posted scores of 9, 6, 3, 70 & 72 before the fall of the first wicket. A Rossington, R Levi and B Curran averaged about 17.00, 17.75 & 9.20 respectively last season. The stats clearly work in favour of this betting tip, thus making it a strong one for this game. Pari Match should be offering the best of odds from the WAR vs NOR head-to-head contest.
