Sussex vs Hampshire Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 Blast 2023
Sussex take on Hampshire on Friday evening in the South Group of the 2023 Vitality Blast. The Sharks have won two of their eight games and are in 8th place in the group with the Hawks up in 3rd place after winning five of their eight fixtures so far. Read on as we preview this match. The game gets underway in Hove at 19:00 local time.
Sussex were thrashed by 124 runs in their last Vitality Blast game and have been very disappointing across this campaign. They will need to produce their best performance of the year if they are to be competitive in this game.
Hampshire are the current holders of the T20 Blast and are well placed to progress in this year’s tournament. They have a talented team with depth in their batting and bowling line-up.

Sussex Team News & Playing 11
SUS Team News
It has been a very disappointing campaign from the Sharks over their eight matches so far with only Ravi Bopara and Tymal Mills producing consistent performances. There is not much strength in depth in their squad and we do not expect any players to make their debut in this game.
SUS Key Players
- Ravi Bopara - The right-handed batting all-rounder has a top score of 105 not-out in T20 cricket and has played in almost 450 T20 matches.
- Shadab Khan - The Pakistan all-rounder has not found much joy with the ball in the Vitality Blast but hit 59 runs in the win over Middlesex.
- Tymal Mills - The England international left-arm pace bowler is yet to go wicketless in this year’s tournament and missed the previous game against Hampshire so will be keen to make an impact in this match.
SUS Team Form
Before their defeat to Surrey, Sussex got their second win of the tournament. However, they have won only five of their last six matches.

Hampshire Team News & Playing 11
HAM Team News
The Hawks have an excellent squad and still have the core of the team who won the tournament in 2022. There are no injuries in the Hampshire squad ahead of this trip to Hove and we expect to see the same XI from their defeat to Kent Spitfires.
HAM Key Players
- James Vince - The right-handed England international is unlikely to be called up during the Ashes but that will be to the gain of Hampshire. Vince has hit over 9100 T20 runs.
- Ben McDermott - The keeper-batter shares the opening spot with skipper James Vince. He hit 57 runs from 30 balls against Kent Spitfires in the last fixture.
- Nathan Ellis - The Australian bowling all-rounder is a fine T20 player who has played in many of the top leagues across the globe. He also has an impressive international record in this format.
HAM Team Form
The Hawks were beaten by 6 wickets with 3 balls remaining by Kent Spitfires in their last Vitality T20 Blast 2023 match but had won their four previous games.
Hampshire Predicted Playing 11
Ben McDermott (wk), James Vince (c), Toby Albert, Joe Weatherley, Ross Whiteley, James Fuller, Liam Dawson, Chris Wood, Nathan Ellis, Mason Crane, John Turner
Sussex vs Hampshire Head to Head

🏆 Sussex vs Hampshire Prediction
Hampshire were far too strong for Sussex in their previous meeting earlier this month and we would be very surprised if there is a different outcome in this match. With Ben McDermott and James Vince both in strong form, we are backing Hampshire to win this clash on Friday evening.
