The T20 Blast 2024 has returned following a brief hiatus. At Hove, Sussex will play Glamorgan in match number 79. Glamorgan are suffering in eighth place in the South Group, while Sussex are now in second place. It’s interesting to note that Glamorgan won by 25 runs the last time these two teams played this season. As a result, Sussex will be seeking retribution as well as an opportunity to advance.
Sussex Sharks vs Glamorgan Team Preview & Squads
Sussex Sharks
With six wins and just two losses so far this season, Sussex is having a fantastic campaign. Their NRR is 1.614 and they have 12 points. But they can’t afford to make mistakes now that six games are remaining in the group stage.
Daniel Hughes, the team’s top run-scorer this year, will be the center of attention in this game. In 8 innings, the opener has scored 280 runs at a strike rate of 174 and an average of 35.
You should also be on the lookout for James Coles. In eight innings, the middle-order hitter has amassed 225 runs with a 153-strike rate. Next up is Tom Alsop, who can be extremely useful lower in the order (162 runs in 7 innings at 148).
Tymal Mills (15 wickets in 8 innings at an economy of 7.43) and Nathan McAndrew (12 wickets in 8 innings at 8.86) are Sussex’s two main wreckers and will be key players in the bowling attack.

Glamorgan
This season, Glamorgan hasn’t been doing well. They have just five points, which puts them in a risky situation after only two victories in eight games. To have any chance of finishing in the top two, they must make significant progress in the second part of the competition.
Their batting has been nearly completely controlled by Sam Northeast (216 runs in 7 innings at an average of 43 and a strike rate of 130) and Colin Ingram (188 in 7 innings at an average of 27 and a strike rate of 136).
People like Chris Cooke and Kiran Carlson must come up right now.
Mason Crane (12 wickets in 6 innings at an economy of 7.39) and Daniel Douthwaite (10 wickets in 7 innings at 9.58) will have to contribute consistently with their bowling. because the other bowlers in the squad don’t appear dangerous enough and haven’t performed well this year.

The team batting first has won both of this year’s T20 Blast matches in Hove. We believe that this will make it very evident to the captain that, at this time, batting first is the best option on this field.
The gloomy weather in Hove on the day of the match may aid the new ball bowlers in getting some movement off the air. There may be some afternoon showers, but it shouldn’t have a significant impact on the game.
For batters, the pitch at the County Ground in Hove has been excellent. Especially in the opening six overs, the ball has been hitting the bat wonderfully.
