Pre-Match Analysis:
Sussex are on the charge, scripting an excellent 34-run victory over Kent on Friday, which boosted their knockout chances. This was their 3rd win in the last 5 matches, and they are placed 3rd in the South Group standings with 22 points. Daniel Hughes (48) and Tom Clark (43) starred with the bat against Kent to get the team to 195 for 9. Later, Danny Lamb’s maiden T20 Blast 5-fer ensured them a convincing victory in the final over. Skipper Tymal Mills too caught the eyeballs with an economical spell of 3 for 20.
They are going with an unchanged squad that featured against Kent last night.
Having last played in the tournament 15 days ago, it’s not going to be an easy job to straight away get back into the winning ways. The onus will be on skipper James Vince, who is not at his best of form with 4 single-digit scores in the last 5 innings. All eyes will be on the team’s leading run-scorer, Toby Albert (212 runs). They will be without Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Dewald Brevis, who are away with International commitments.
With plenty of concerns on their side, they need to step up going forward in the tournament. With 3 wins, 4 losses, and a Tie, they are placed 6th in the standings with 14 points.
