At Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, Glamorgan will play Sussex Sharks in the South Group of the 2024 Vitality Blast. On Sunday, June 2, 2024, at 14:30 local time, the game begins.
It’s never easy to play Surrey, as Glamorgan found out when they failed to launch their 2024 T20 Blast into a winning start at home on Friday. However, advantages are going into this game: the bowling attack claimed eight wickets, while three batsmen scored between 40 and 58.
On Friday night in Hove, Sussex Sharks defeated Gloucestershire by three wickets despite a thrilling contest that was nearly decided by a bye on the last ball. While it’s never ideal to depend on the lower order to win a game with the bat, Tymal Mills’ team will feel a lot more confident after a close triumph.
Glamorgan vs Sussex Sharks Team Preview & Squads
Glamorgan
Colin Ingram and Marnus Labuschagne, two veteran batsmen, both scored half-centuries against Surrey, and we anticipate both will make major contributions going forward. Despite their single-figure scores on Friday, Sam Northeast and Kiran Carlson will be watched closely by the Sussex bowlers.
Even though they lost in the end, Glamorgan’s bowling attack claimed at least one wicket on Friday, so the team should feel confident going into their return to Sophia Gardens for this game. Dan Douthwaite stood out in particular.

Sussex Sharks
Runs by Daniel Hughes (37), Fynn Hudson-Prentice (47), John Simpson (36), and Danny Lamb (23) were critical as the team needed 168 to win. However, Nathan McAndrew and Jack Carson sealed the deal, and the Sharks will be hoping for more from James Coles, Oli Carter, and Tom Alsop in the top four.
James Coles, Danny Lamb, and Ollie Robinson were all without a wicket against Gloucestershire, but this bowling attack has plenty of other possibilities to take wickets. Against Glamorgan, Tymal Mills, the captain, should be the primary threat with the ball while Jack Carson and Nathan McAndrew will be threatening all game long.
