The County Championship 2021-22 is on and we have Essex taking on Northamptonshire in this next match. Essex has won one match out of the three it has played, losing one and drawing the other. Its opponent, Northamptonshire, has played just two matches so far and has drawn them both.
The odds suggest that Essex is the clear favorite at all cricket betting sites going into this match. Let us see if that adds up or not.
Match prediction and cricket betting tips for Essex vs Northamptonshire County Championship 2022. The match is going to be played at County Ground, Chelmsford starting on the 28th of April 2022.
Essex has had six different players at least one inning of fifty-plus already and that is a good start. It shows that the bulk of the batting lineup is in good form. Leading the way for the number of runs scored is Sir Alastair Cook, with 247 to his name, with Critchley the only other batsman to have more than 200 runs so far.
The batting lineup for Essex is certainly not bad and it seems to have the players that can adapt to difficult batting conditions as well.
Perhaps one of the big reasons why Essex has been able to push for wins is its bowling attack. Cook, Harmer, Snater, and Steketee are all picking up wickets regularly. The conditions in England right now are also helpful for the bowlers.
This is certainly a bowling lineup that can push for a win.
Alastair Cook, Adam Wheater, Feroze Khushi, MJJ Critchley, Mark Steketee, Nick Browne, Paul Walter, Samuel Cook, Simon Harmer, Shane Snater, Tom Westley.
Northamptonshire has not been able to win a match so far and while it has not lost one either, the stream will need to take a more proactive approach in the matches to come. The batting lineup for Northamptonshire is not the best and lacks depth.
Keogh is the only batsman that has crossed the 100 mark so far although there have been useful contributions from Young, McManus, and Berg. This is not a batting lineup that is going to get rolled over very quickly but it could be one that struggles to dominate the opposition bowling.
Sanderson and Berg dominate the bowling charts for Northants. They have 11 and 10 wickets respectively when no one else in the lineup even has four! Clearly, it is going to be down to them to make the bulk of the breakthroughs, however, the others will also need to step up.
Ben Sanderson, Emilio Gay, Gareth Berg, Lewis McManus, Luke Procter, Matthew Kelly, Ricardo Vasconcelos, Rob Keogh, Saif Zaib, Tom Taylor, Will Young.
The team that wins the toss is going to want to bat first unless the pitch is very green and the conditions are overcast.

The pitch at Chelmsford is always a bit helpful to the bowlers. There should be some swing and seam for the fast bowlers to work with. Spin also plays a part as the match progresses. The batsmen will have to work hard for their runs and we think a score of around 270-300 is going to be a very good one in the first inning.
We are going to bet on Essex to win this match. We think it has the upper hand when it comes to batting depth and its bowling lineup is also better balanced. There are more players contributing to Essex's success right now and with home conditions to boost them, they should be able to get a win here.
Bet on Essex to win.
