Toss Prediction
Four of the last six T20 Blast matches (including the most recently played two) at this ground have been won by the side fielding first. And since the wicket here generally tends to become relatively easier for batting later on, the team that wins the toss in this match will probably elect to bowl first.

Sussex Team News & Playing 11
SUS Team News
Afghanistan legspinner Rashid Khan has extended his stint with Sussex and he will now be available for all three of their remaining group games. Allrounder David Wiese was replaced by pace bowler Tymal Mills in the last match against Surrey and he will probably be retained for this upcoming clash against Glamorgan. We expect Sussex to go into this game with an unchanged line-up.
SUS Key Players
Luke Wright and Laurie Evans have been the top performers with the bat for Sussex this Vitality Blast and these two hold the key to the team's batting. Both are coming off impressive knocks of 55 and 48 respectively against Surrey and they had even smashed 88 and 65 respectively in the reverse encounter against Glamorgan. Philip Salt and Tom Bruce are the others in this line-up who could score the big runs for their side. Jofra Archer and Rashid Khan are the main threats when it comes to bowling. Archer has been the team's most successful bowler with 13 wickets in 9 matches. Rashid had troubled Glamorgan in the first face-off of the season and he is likely to finish with the best figures again. Tymal Mills and Chris Jordan are quality bowlers as well who too can cause problems for the opposition on their day.
SUS Recent Form
Sussex have won four and lost three out of the 11 matches they have played so far and are currently sixth in the South Group standings with 12 points. Their last two matches against Surrey and Kent were both washed out due to rain. Prior to that, they lost to Somerset by three wickets at this very ground. Sussex scored 169/5 batting first but their bowlers could not prevent Somerset from overhauling that total.
Sussex Predicted Playing 11

Glamorgan Team News & Playing 11
Glam Team News
Glamorgan do not seem to have any injury issues to worry about at the moment. They have been fielding the same eleven in their last two games and it is likely that they will go unchanged for this game as well.
Glam Key Players
Colin Ingram has been the most consistent and reliable batsman for Glamorgan this season. The skipper has three big knocks in his previous four matches and he had also cracked an unbeaten 44-ball 81 in the reverse fixture against Sussex. While he is definitely going to be the key man for his side, there will also be plenty of expectations from the likes of Craig Meschede - Glamorgan's top-scorer in the last game - and Kiran Carlson who is having a strike-rate of around 145. Timm van der Gugten, Michael Hogan and Graham Wagg seem to be the best bets for the skipper with the ball. All three of them took two wickets each last time against Somerset and they will be backed by the team for a good bowling performance here. van der Gugten has been the pick of the lot with 18 wickets in 11 matches and he looks more likely to trouble Sussex in this match.
Glam Recent Form
Glamorgan are placed fourth on the South Group points table with seven wins and four losses from twelve league matches. They were on a roll having won five matches in a row but their winning streak was broken when they met Somerset in the last match. Glamorgan had an off day with the ball as they allowed Somerset to rack up 210/8 in their 20 overs. Their batsmen then put up a good chase but eventually the team fell short by 29 runs.
Glamorgan Predicted Playing 11
Craig Meschede, Aneurin Donald, Colin Ingram (c), Kiran Carlson, David Lloyd, Chris Cooke (wk), Graham Wagg, Ruaidhri Smith, Andrew Salter, Timm van der Gugten, Michael Hogan
