Essex vs Warwickshire Betting Tips

Warwickshire to score low before first dismissal

Rob Yates and Alex Davies have not been particularly fruitful in the tournament and their partnership does not inspire confidence. In the last five games,they secured totals of 0, 8, 79, 22, 33, 1, 5, 15, 12 and 2 runsbefore the first dismissal. The scores were not enough to lay down a strong foundation for the team and they are not in a position to give Essex’s bowlers a run for their money.
