Sussex Team News & Playing 11
Luke Wright is only the second batsman to have hit a century so far in this year's NatWest T20 Blast 2017. The opener blitzed 101 off just 53 balls in the first game against Glamorgan and he is going to be the key for Sussex with the bat. Chris Jordan and David Wiese bowled well the other day on what was an excellent batting surface. Both the seamers finished with economical figures and they will be the ones to watch out for in this match.

While the former won their opening match against Glamorgan by a comfortable margin of 22 runs, the latter faced defeat in their opening match at the hands of the same opposition by 18 runs.

Sussex vs Hampshire Prediction
Hampshire clearly have an upper hand when comes to head-to-head count in the English domestic T20 tournaments. Out of the 22 matches played between the two sides, they have emerged victors on 14 occasions - a win percentage close to 64. Hampshire will also gain a psychological boost as they edged out Sussex the last time they faced them at this venue in the previous season. Plus, they also boast a stronger batting lineup and strike a better balance in the side. So taking all these factors into consideration, we predict Hampshire to come out winners in this game.
Final Verdict: Back Hampshire to beat Sussex Sharks at 1.4 with betfair and 1.9 with bet365.
