Although they were the last team to get their 2023 T20 Blast campaign underway, Essex have already started to climb the table and are up to third after wins over Gloucestershire and Sussex Sharks. A win in this match will put them in the category of one of the best South Group sides.
Opener Feroze Kushi showed the way for Essex in their win over Sussex Sharks with 55 runs from 38 balls. Robin Das, who can bat at any position in the batting order, worked with the lower-order to take the Eagles to a competitive total.
It was a brilliant bowling display from nearly all of the Eagles’ bowlers in the last game with only Shane Snater and Paul Walter going wicketless. Captain Simon Harmer took 4-28 with all-rounder Matt Critchley taking 3-28 in Hove and both will look to exploit the spin on offer in Chelmsford.
Essex have won by 3 wickets and 25 runs across their two games so far and have been playing controlled aggressive cricket so far.

After winning the 2022 T20 Blast, all teams want to beat Hampshire this year and so far they have lost two of their opening three matches. Their only victory came over bottom of the table Middlesex and they were beaten by Surrey by 6 wickets on Wednesday evening.
Captain James Vince went past Luke Wright’s T20 Blast record runs in the defeat to Surrey as he hit 88 not out from 56 balls. 28 year old opener, Ben McDermott, who was one of the stars of the tournament last year, is still yet to get going but most pundits are expecting the runs to start coming soon.
Left-arm spinner Liam Dawson impressed all observers in Southampton against Surrey when he conceded only 18 runs from his four overs and picked up the wickets of Laurie Evans and Tom Curran. Nathan Ellis was expensive against Surrey but will respond well in this game.
With only one win from three games, it has been an inconsistent start for the Hawks. However, they finished the group stage brilliantly last year so they will not be too bothered by these opening results.

Taking nothing away from their wins over Gloucestershire and Sussex Sharks, this match for Essex against Hampshire looks like being their toughest contest so far. The Hawks will be keen to respond well to their defeat against Surrey and we expect their bowling attack to be far more impressive. With James Vince also in strong form, we are backing Hampshire to win this match.
