Sussex Team News & Playing 11
SUS Team News
There were three changes to the Sharks XI from their defeat against Hampshire Hawks to their away fixture against Surrey on Wednesday. In came Tymal Mills, Tom Alsop and Oli Carter with Ali Orr, Luke Wright and Henry Crocombe dropping out.
SUS Key Players
- Tim Seifert - The New Zealand keeper began the tournament with 35 against Middlesex before posting his three figure score against Hampshire Hawks. He is an experienced and dangerous batter at the top of the order.
- Obed McCoy - In spite of playing in only four games in the T20 Blast so far, the West Indian pace bowler is only three wickets away from being the top wicket taker in the tournament.
- Steven Finn - The former England international is enjoying his first T20 Blast season away from Middlesex. He has dismissed nine batters so far.
SUS Team Form
Sussex Sharks are looking to avoid their third successive defeat in the 2022 Vitality Blast. They should find Gloucestershire a slightly less imposing opposition than Surrey in their last game.
Sussex Predicted Playing 11
Tim Seifert (wk), Ravi Bopara (c), Tom Alsop, Delray Rawlins, Fynn Hudson-Prentice, Oli Carter, Harrison Ward, Obed McCoy, Tymal Mills, Archie Lenham, Steven Finn
Gloucestershire Team News & Playing 11
GLO Team News
After beating Glamorgan by 5 wickets on Tuesday evening in Cardiff, Gloucestershire lined up with the same XI ahead of their home derby fixture against Somerset on Wednesday. Although the result went against Gloucestershire, we expect to see consistency in selection again in this match.
GLO Key Players
- James Bracey - The keeper-batter was in the England Test side this time last year but after a tough baptism at that level, is slowly returning to form and growing in confidence again.
- Glenn Phillips - The New Zealand big hitting batter hit 50 not out against Kent Spitfires and followed that score up with 40 against Glamorgan. He will be desperate to contribute after being dismissed for 8 against Somerset.
- David Payne - The left-arm fast medium bowler has picked up 12 wickets in the tournament and is second only to Jordan Thompson in the top wicket takers list.
GLO Team Form
Although Thursday’s defeat was Gloucestershire’s first in June, they have won only one of their last three fixtures in the T20 Blast 2022.
Gloucestershire Predicted Playing 11
Miles Hammond, James Bracey (wk), Ian Cockbain, Glenn Phillips, Jack Taylor (c), Ryan Higgins, Benny Howell, Tom Smith, David Payne, Zak Chappell, Josh Shaw
