Vitality T20 Blast Betting Tips and Predictions

We have compiled the below free Vitality T20 Blast betting tips in keeping with the current form of individual players and their teams. Got a free bet? Consider using it while keeping these T20 Blast predictions in mind!

Since the tournament is in England, expect most games to be moderate- and high-scoring affairs.
Pacers who can extract swing and a little bit of bounce off the surface will stay among the wickets, while spinners will likely not get much assistance from the English pitches.
We are putting our money on Lancashire to be the North Group table topper @ 4.30 on Betway and @ 4.25 on Dafabet.
We expect Surrey to be the South Group table topper @ 4.00 on Betway and @ 4.00 on Dafabet.

Vitality T20 Blast Betting Predictions 2023

Surrey, Lancashire, Hampshire and Birmingham Bears are the T20 Blast favourites
Adam Hose, Rilee Rossouw and James Vince can come out as top batters of the tournament.
We can expect Richard Gleeson, Jake Lintott, and Matt Henry to be the pick of the bowlers.

Vitality T20 Blast Betting: Team Previews

In this section, we have provided a brief overview of all the teams participating in the 2023 Vitality T20 Blast so you can make an informed decision when betting on the tournament. Combine this with the T20 Blast betting tips and predictions above to get a leg-up.

1. HAMPSHIRE

Captain: James Vince
Overseas players: Nathan Ellis (Australia) and Ben McDermott (Australia)
Titles: 3 (2010, 2012, 2022)
2022 Standing: Winner
2022 Leading runscorer: James Vince (678)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: James Fuller (23)
Team analysis: As the defending champions and the best-balanced squad, Hampshire is the best bet to win two back-to-back titles, a feat never achieved in the history of Vitality T20 Blast. A team that boasts a flawless batting and bowling unit is certainly one of the T20 Blast favourites.

2. LANCASHIRE

Captain: Keaton Jennings
Overseas players: Colin de Grandhomme (New Zealand), Daryl Mitchell (New Zealand), and Dahe Vilas (South Africa)
Titles: 1 (2015)
2022 Standing: Runners-up
2022 Leading runscorer: Steven Croft (548)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Richard Gleeson (25)
Team analysis: Last season’s runners-up, the Lancashire team has a good mix of power, experience, and skill, and they are definite T20 Blast favourites for 2023. Their only worrying factor is the unavailability of their captain, Keaton Jennings, in the initial few matches because of a hamstring injury.

3. SOMERSET

Captain: Tom Abell
Overseas players: Matt Henry (New Zealand) and Peter Siddle (Australia)
Titles: 1 (2005)
2022 Standing: Semi-Finals
2022 Leading runscorer: Rilee Rossouw (623)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Ben Green (21)
Team analysis: Somerset had a great season last year and is a team to watch out for this time as well. With power hitters like Tom Cadmore, Tom Banton, and Will Smeed and overseas seamers like Matt Henry and Peter Siddle in their ranks, Somerset is yet another of our T20 Blast favourites for this year.

4. SURREY

Captain: Chris Jordan
Overseas players: Sunil Narine (West Indies), Sean Abbott (Australia)
Titles: 1 (2003)
2022 Standing: Quarter-Finals
2022 Leading runscorer: Will Jacks (449)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Chris Jordan (17)
Team analysis: South Group’s table topper last season, Surrey’s recent success has been due to their bowlers. That said, their batting unit has depth and looks strong on paper. Yet another team to watch out for.

5. BIRMINGHAM BEARS

Captain: Moeen Ali
Overseas players: Glenn Maxwell (Australia), Hasan Ali (Pakistan), Paul Stirling (Ireland)
Titles: 1 (2014)
2022 Standing: Quarter-Finals
2022 Leading runscorer: Adam Hose (557)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Jake Lintott (22)
Team analysis: The table topper from the North Group last season, the Birmingham Bears will heavily miss the service of last year’s leading runscorer, Adam Hose, who has joined Worcestershire this time. However, they have signed three potential match winners in Hasan Ali, Paul Stirling, and Glenn Maxwell, and will be buoyed by the additions.

6. YORKSHIRE

Captain: Shan Masood
Overseas players: Shan Masood (Pakistan), David Wiese (Namibia)
Titles: Nil
2022 Standing: Semi-Finals
2022 Leading runscorer: Adam Lyth (525)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Jordan Thompson (17)
Team analysis: Many of their key players who performed well last season have left the squad, including David Willey and Tom Cadmore. Even Harry Brook is available for a limited period. With the lack of power hitters in their squad, it looks like Yorkshire’s dream of opening their account will not see the light of day this time around either.

7. ESSEX

Captain: Simon Harmer
Overseas players: Simon Harmer (South Africa), Daniel Sams (Australia)
Titles: 1 (2019)
2022 Standing: Quarter-Finals
2022 Leading runscorer: Michael Pepper (439)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Simon Harmer (17)
Team analysis: Essex almost always starts slow, but as the tournament progresses, they are known to pick up speed. Their biggest strength is the quality of all-rounders in their squad.

8. NOTTINGHAMSHIRE

Captain: Steven Mullaney
Overseas players: Dane Paterson (South Africa), Colin Munro (New Zealand), Shaheen Afridi (Pakistan)
Titles: 2 (2017, 2020)
2022 Standing: 5th (North Group)
2022 Leading runscorer: Ben Duckett (396)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Jake Ball (18)
Team analysis: Perhaps the most consistent team in the past few years, Nottinghamshire has qualified for the knockout stages on 11 occasions in the last 13 years. Though they will be missing the service of last season’s top runscorer, Ben Duckett, who will be on national duty during the Ashes, the team has quality players to qualify for the knockouts yet again. The most definitive T20 Blast favourites if there were ever one.

9. DERBYSHIRE

Captain: Leus du Plooy
Overseas players: Suranga Lakmal (Sri Lanka), Haider Ali (Pakistan), Zaman Khan (Pakistan)
Titles: Nil
2022 Standing: Quarter-Finals
2022 Leading runscorer: Shan Masood (547)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: George Scrimshaw (23)
Team analysis: For years, Derbyshire has failed to make an impact in T20 cricket; however, they have made amends over the last six seasons, reaching the knockout stages three times. Though they have parted ways with last season’s leading runscorer, Shan Masood, Derbyshire has made some excellent signings this time, which would bolster both their batting and bowling units.

10. KENT

Captain: Sam Billings
Overseas players: George Linde (South Africa), and Kane Richardson (Australia)
Titles: 2 (2007, 2021)
2022 Standing: Last (South Group)
2022 Leading runscorer: Joe Denly (423)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Qais Ahmad (14) and Grant Steward (14)
Team analysis: The 2021 T20 Blast champions had a horrible season last year when they finished last in the South Group. This time, while we think they will put up a better performance, Kent might not have the chops to reach the knockouts.

11. SUSSEX

Captain: Ravi Bopara
Overseas players: Nathan McAndrew (Australia), Ari Karvelas (Greece), Shadab Khan (Pakistan)
Titles: 1 (2009)
2022 Standing: 7th (South Group)
2022 Leading runscorer: Tom Alsop (318)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Tymal Mills (15)
Team analysis: The departures of Luke Wright and Rashid Khan have left a huge void in the team. Though they have good bowling options, their batting department looks weak, and it seems tough for them to reach the knockout stage. Certainly not on our list of T20 Blast favourites for 2023.

12. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE

Captain: David Willey
Overseas players: Chris Lynn (Australia), Andrew Tye (Australia)
Titles: 2 (2013, 2016)
2022 Standing: 7th (North Group)
2022 Leading runscorer: Chris Lynn (516)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Ben Sanderson (16)
Team analysis: Northamptonshire has quite a few power hitters at the top of the batting order, while the signing of David Willey and Andrew Tye will boost their bowling department. If they collectively perform, they might have a chance to reach the knockout rounds.

13. LEICESTERSHIRE

Captain: Colin Ackermann
Overseas players: Naveen ul Haq (Afghanistan), Wiaan Mulder (South Africa)
Titles: 3 (2004, 2006, 2011)
2022 Standing: 6th (North Group)
2022 Leading runscorer: Colin Ackermann (367)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Naveen ul Haq (24)
Team analysis: Though they have lost star all-rounder Ben Mike, Leicestershire are still a perfectly balanced team, at least on paper. With the likes of Naveen ul Haq and Colin Ackermann in the ranks, the team has depth in both batting and bowling.

14. GLOUCESTERSHIRE

Captain: Jack Taylor
Overseas players: Grant Roelofsen (South Africa), Zafar Gohar (Pakistan)
Titles: Nil
2022 Standing: 5th (South Group)
2022 Leading runscorer: Glenn Phillips (340)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: David Payne (18)
Team analysis: They are a team in transition following the exit of established players like Benny Howell, Ian Cockbain, and Ryan Higgins. Gloucestershire has invested a lot in the youth, and if groomed well, they can perform and give other teams a run for their money.

15. GLAMORGAN

Captain: David Llyod
Overseas players: Michael Neser (Australia), Colin Ingram (South Africa)
Titles: Nil
2022 Standing: 6th (South Group)
2022 Leading runscorer: Sam Northeast (510)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Michael Hogan (20)
Team analysis: They have been consistently underperforming in the Vitality T20 Blast. This year, the team will be without Michael Hogan, their leading wicket-taker from last season. Add to that the unavailability of power hitters in the side, and it seems that Glamorgan is headed for yet another underwhelming season.

16. MIDDLESEX

Captain: Stephen Eskinazi
Overseas players: Pieter Malan (South Africa)
Titles: 1 (2008)
2022 Standing: 8th (South Group)
2022 Leading runscorer: Stephen Eskinazi (431)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Martin Andersson (17)
Team analysis: Trophy-less since 2008, Middlesex has been one of the biggest underperformers throughout the past few seasons. They clearly lack depth in both batting and bowling, and it seems things won’t change drastically this time.

17. WORCESTERSHIRE

Captain: Brett D’ Oliveira
Overseas players: Mitchell Santner (New Zealand), Michael Bracewell (New Zealand
Titles: 1 (2018)
2022 Standing: Last (North Group)
2022 Leading runscorer: Colin Munro (323)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Pat Brown (14)
Team analysis: The 2018 champions had a disastrous season last time, finishing at the bottom of the table in their group. This year, however, they have signed Adam Hose (third-highest runscorer from last season) and the Kiwi all-rounder duo of Mitchell Santner and Michael Bracewell, and they will hope for a better performance this time.

18. DURHAM

Captain: Alex Lees
Overseas players: David Bendingham (South Africa)
Titles: Nil
2022 Standing: 8th (North Group)
2022 Leading runscorer: Michael Jones (319)
2022 Leading wicket-taker: Andrew Tye (21)
Team analysis: Perhaps the worst team ever in the history of this tournament, Durham has earned the tag of serial underperformers. Further compounding their problems will be the unavailability of their high-profile signing, Tristan Stubbs. Durham has a mountain to climb, and we don’t see them getting anywhere close to the knockouts.
