Hampshire Team News & Playing 11
With three fifties in his previous four innings, James Vince is the in-form batsman for Hampshire and he looks set to produce another good performance for his side. Shahid Afridi smoked 101 runs off just 43 balls in the quarter-final against Derbyshire and the team will want him to bring that form into this big game. Hampshire's bowling is going to depend a lot on Mason Crane, the legspinner who has taken 17 wickets from 12 matches.

Hampshire vs Nottinghamshire Betting Odds
Nottinghamshire Outlaws have been one of the most consistent sides in this year's NatWest T20 blast competition. They topped the North Group's standings at the end of the league round with eight wins from 12 completed fixtures. While 1xbet is offering odds of 1.73 on them, Bet365 has them slightly shorter at 1.66. Hampshire are outsiders for this second semi-final and are up at 2.34 with Betfair and 2.20 with Bet365.
Hampshire vs Nottinghamshire Prediction
Nottinghamshire have the momentum with them as they will be coming with six wins from their last seven matches. However, the team will be wary of the fact that they have never been able to go beyond the semis since 2006. Hampshire on the other hand are champions of 2010 and 2012 editions and they have been making it to the finals day six times in the last seven seasons. They have beaten Nottinghamshire in both the matches played against them in the past which will give them a big confidence boost heading into this high pressure game. We thus predict Hampshire to win.
Final Verdict: Back Hampshire to beat Nottinghamshire in the second semi-final of the NatWest T20 Blast 2017 at 2.34 with 1xbet and 2.20 with Bet365.
