THE PREDICTION
Hampshire have picked up a point less than their opponents heading into this game with neither having recorded a victory so far in the competition. Essex Eagles scrambled a tie away at Surrey on Sunday and will need to improve here, against a Hampshire side without James Vince and Liam Dawson. Scottish international George Munsey provides the key batting threat at the top of the order and if he fires on a small ground at Chelmsford, he could be the catalyst to Hampshire pulling off an upset win here over the defending champions.
