Sussex Team News & Playing 11
SUS Team News
Sussex Sharks reported no injuries from their victory over Gloucestershire on Friday evening and should select the same XI for their first home game of the campaign. Ravi Bopara was dismissed for a golden duck but should be back in the runs in this game.
SUS Key Players
- Philip Salt- only 24 years of age but with plenty of experience across many T20 franchise leagues. His unbeaten 77 from 49 balls set the platform for Sussex’s other batsmen on Friday.
- George Garton- a player who has been on the fringes of the England setup for a few years, Garton was very impressive with bat and ball in the win over Gloucestershire.
- Chris Jordan- English cricketers don’t come much more experienced in this format of the game than Chris Jordan. He is more than handy with the bat, accurate with the ball and arguably the safest pair of hands in the field.
SUS Team Form
Sussex Sharks had the second best record of any side in the group stage of the competition last year before being knocked out at the quarter final stage. Friday’s win was no surprise.
Sussex Predicted Playing 11
Philip Salt (wk), Travis Head, Delray Rawlins, David Wiese, Ravi Bopara, Aaron Thomason, Will Beer, Chris Jordan (c), George Garton, Henry Crocombe, Archie Lenham
Hampshire Team News & Playing 11
HAM Team News
Hampshire Hawks have strength in depth across all positions in this format and were good value for their win over Essex Eagles on Friday. They need one more win to equal last year’s group stage performance of two wins from ten games.
HAM Key Players
- James Vince- Hampshire Hawks’ captain is a fantastic batsmen across all forms of the game. He bats aggressively but without taking many risks at the top of the order.
- Liam Dawson- One of the most underrated players in England. A useful all rounder who was part of England’s 2019 World Cup winning squad. Bowled very economically on Friday.
- Mason Crane- Hampshire Hawks’ leg spinner has international honours and no doubt many more to come. Still only 24, even with the odd wayward delivery, he is always likely to take wickets in T20 Blast Matches.
HAM Team Form
Hampshire Hawks were a disappointing side in the 2020 T20 Blast but look set to make up for it this year. They have also been successful in the County Championship in 2021.
Hampshire Predicted Playing 11
James Vince (c) , D’Arcy Short, Tom Alsop, Joe Weatherley, Liam Dawson, James Fuller, Lewis McManus (wk), Ian Holland, Chris Wood, Mason Crane, Brad Wheal
