Sussex Sharks vs Somerset CCC Team Preview

Sussex Sharks

The Sussex Sharks finished last year’s T20 Blast down in seventh place in the South Group after excelling in white ball cricket in prior seasons. Jofra Archer and Ollie Robinson, both representatives of England, will not be available for the Sharks due to injuries.

After smashing a stunning 144 from 49 balls in a 2nd XI T20 game on Tuesday, experienced former England international Ravi Bopara will be full of confidence going into this encounter. At the top of the side’s order, Tom Alsop and Tom Haines will bat.

Somerset CCC

The 2022 semifinalist Somerset, who defeated Hampshire Hawks by 8 wickets on Wednesday, had a great start to the year. The Hawks had previously defeated Somerset in the semi-final, making this victory much sweeter for Somerset’s players and supporters. Following Wednesday’s victory, no injuries were recorded.

Tom Banton took advantage of the opportunity to start his campaign off strong with 40 runs off 24 balls against Hampshire Hawks at the top of the order after the bowlers had done all the work in the first half of the game. Somerset’s batting lineup is excellent, and Tom Kohler-Cadmore’s singing has made it even better.

Vitality Blast 2023 Cricket Prediction | South Group: Sussex Sharks vs Somerset CCC County Ground Hove

 

4 of the past 7 games played on this field have been won by the team batting first. In these travels, only twice did a team successfully chase a 160-plus total. They would be confident in their ability to defend a respectable score on this field given the caliber of bowling attack in both sides.

Hove is expected to have a clear day with a high temperature of 17 degrees Celsius.

It appears to be a pitch that is balanced and supportive of both batters and bowlers. It is not normally a high-scoring surface, but if the batters time it correctly, they can make a stroke.
