Sussex Team News & Playing 11
SUS Team News
Sussex do not have any injury concerns ahead of their clash against Gloucestershire. They are likely to retain the entire line-up from their washed out game against Hampshire, except for one change. Rashid Khan is no longer available and so the team could bring in leg-spinner Will Beer as his replacement.
SUS Key Players
Luke Wright, Laurie Evans and Tom Bruce are the key figures in Sussex's batting line-up. Evans has scored the most runs for the side so far in this year's Vitality Blast and he has already smashed three half-centuries from his four innings. Wright has also been among the runs while Bruce is known for his big-hitting abilities. Jofra Archer will be the go-to man for Sussex when it comes to bowling. The West Indian fast bowler has been the pick of the bowlers with seven wickets in five matches. David Wiese and Tymal Mills are the other bowlers in the side who could cause problems for Gloucestershire.
SUS Recent Form
Sussex have won three and lost one out of the six league matches they have played so far and are currently placed fourth in the South Group standings. Their last two matches against Kent and Hampshire had to be abandoned due to bad weather. Prior to that, they lost to Surrey by 52 runs.

Gloucestershire Team News & Playing 11
Gloucs Team News
None of Gloucestershire's players were reported to be injured at the time of writing. We don't expect them to make any changes to their side that beat Glamorgan in the last match.
Gloucs Key Players
Michael Klinger cracked his second fifty of the season in the last game versus Glamorgan, scoring an unbeaten 50-ball 77 to power his team to a match-winning total of 197. The skipper seems to be in good form and he will be the key man for Gloucestershire. Apart from him, the team will also expect strong contributions from Ian Cockbain and Miles Hammond. Ryan Higgins, Thomas Smith and Andrew Tye are the major threats in Gloucestershire's bowling attack. Tye has taken seven wickets in three matches while Higgins and Smith both have eight wickets each from six matches.
Gloucs Recent Form
Gloucestershire are currently second in their group standings with four wins and one loss from their first six matches. After facing a six-wicket defeat at the hands of Somerset in their opening encounter, they have won their next four completed matches on the trot. Gloucestershire beat Glamorgan by 30 runs in their last match.
Gloucestershire Predicted Playing 11
Miles Hammond, Michael Klinger (c), Ian Cockbain, Kieran Noema-Barnett, Benny Howell, Ryan Higgins, Jack Taylor, Andrew Tye, Gareth Roderick (wk), Thomas Smith, David Payne
