Grace Road

Leicestershire and Middlesex’s County Championship Division Two match is going to be held from June 29 to July 2, 2025, at Grace Road, Leicester. The match will begin at 3:30 PM IST.

Leicestershire vs Middlesex Chances of Winning

Leicestershire’s previous draw against Glamorgan did not put a dent in their campaign in the slightest and they remain the top team despite the result. After restricting the latter to 353 runs, Leicestershire went hammer and tongs to score 576 runs. Opener Sol Budinger and Rehan Ahmed are largely credited for their success since they scored 118 and 106 runs, respectively. Glamorgan did not give up easily but after scoring 342 runs, the time was up and both sides had to settle for a draw.

Middlesex, on the contrary, are in the midst of a struggle as they lost their third match in a row at the hands of Northamptonshire last time around. Despite having posted a competitive total of 413 runs, Northamptonshire managed to overcome the target with 435 runs on the board. Middlesex were in a bind at this point and ended up scoring an additional 332 runs but it was not quite enough to keep their opposition at bay. In the end, they lost by a margin of four wickets.

Leicestershire vs Middlesex Betting Tips

Middlesex to score under 23.5 before first dismissal @ 1.83 (Parimatch)

Middlesex have made an awful lot of changes to their top order from the start of the season and while there has been an improvement, it still puts them on tenterhooks since consistency is a major problem for the opening wicket. In the five games prior to this fixture, the openers added 6, 89, 14, 98, 0, 51, 15, 9, 24 and 0 runs to the first wicket. However, their unpredictability is a major disadvantage and they are on the bookfoot against Leicestershire.

Leicestershire vs Middlesex Toss Prediction

The four games held at Grace Road have all produced different results since there have been two draws, while those batting and fielding first have a 1-1 scoreline. Despite this, the toss winners have favored to field first more often than not, having chosen to do so three out of four times so far. It will remain the favored strategy for the upcoming match as well.

Weather Report

Mostly cloudy conditions are expected at Leicester and the chance of rain stands at 20%. The temperature is predicted to touch 28 degrees Celsius.

Leicestershire vs Middlesex Betting Odds

Leicestershire to have a better opening partnership than Middlesex @ 1.77 (Parimatch)

Middlesex have had to make several tweaks to their opening wicket and after trying out various combinations, their first wicket is finally starting to settle in. However, that still makes them rather erratic since they have secured totals of 6, 89, 14, 98, 0 and 51 runs in the last three games. Their counterparts at Leicestershire, Rishi Patel and Sol Budinger, are much more dependable with scores of 180, 8, 22 and 30 runs in the previous three outings. The bookmakers endorse Leicestershire to put on a better opening stand than Middlesex in the next game.

Leicestershire vs Middlesex Best Batters

Lewis Hill to be Leicestershire’s Best Batter

Lewis Hill scored his fourth half-century of the season during the last game against Glamorgan where he notched up 70 runs in their sole innings. He is Leicestershire’s second leading batter overall with 534 runs in 13 innings and an average of 47.63, and he is expected to be their top run scorer against Middlesex in the next game.

Max Holden to be Middlesex’s Best Batter

Max Holden was not the top batter for Middlesex in the previous game but after scoring a mere 16 runs in the first innings against Northamptonshire, he went on to bag his third half-century so far with 54 runs. He leads their run charts with 733 runs in 16 innings and an average of 45.81, making him the top contender for the upcoming match.

Leicestershire vs Middlesex Best Bowlers

Logan van Beek to be Leicestershire’s Best Bowler

In the previous game against Glamorgan, Logan van Beek picked two wickets in each of the two innings and stands as the top bowler overall with a whopping 30 wickets under his belt in 14 innings. He has a stellar bowling average of 24.96 in the tournament so far and will be expected to be their premier bowler in the upcoming fixture.

Toby Roland-Jones to be Middlesex’s Best Bowler

Toby Roland-Jones failed to capture any wickets in the first innings against Northamptonshire but bagged two wickets in the second innings. He remains their top wicket-taker with 28 wickets in 14 innings and his average of 27.92 is impressive. He is the top choice to be their leading bowler in the next encounter against Leicestershire.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Leicestershire

Leicestershire merely hit a bump in the road which put an end to their winning streak but they still remain undefeated this season, having won five out of eight fixtures while the remaining matches were drawn. They are, without a doubt, the team to beat and Middlesex lack the competitiveness to put up a fight, especially since they are down in seventh place - the penultimate position - with two wins, four losses and two draws. The bookmakers favor Leicestershire to come out on top and bag their sixth win of the season.
