Hampshire v Sussex Sharks – Match Preview

Hampshire are currently fifth in the six-team South Group. Sussex are third.

They met twice in last year’s Blast. Sussex won on both occasions.

Where: Rose Bowl, Southampton

When: Thursday, 10 September 2020

Start Time: 17:35 GMT (22:05 IST)

Pitch conditions: The Rose Bowl will host its first match of the T20 Blast 2020. It recently hosted the three-T20I series between England and Australia. The team to win the toss will likely bowl first. A score of around 160 should be competitive from the side batting first.

Weather conditions: A slight chance of rain is forecast for Southampton on Thursday. The temperature will likely hang around a chilly 20 degrees celsius. If wet weather does shorten the match, this could suit the team chasing a total rather than setting one.

Hampshire v Sussex Sharks – Team News

Hampshire have Joe Weatherley and James Fuller to spearhead the batting department. Sam Northeast would dearly like to improve on his recent form.

Bowling-wise, Hampshire can look to Pakistan fast bowler Shaheen Afridi in partnership with leg-spinner Mason Crane.

Crane has taken more than double the number of wickets than any other Hampshire bowler this T20 Blast.

Sussex will be without Phil Salt. He has joined the England squad for the ODI series against Australia. Luke Wright and David Wiese could again be tasked with scoring the bulk of the runs.

Like for Afridi and Crane, it’ll be good to see spinner Danny Briggs and fast bowler Tymal Mills operating in tandem for Sussex.

Hampshire v Sussex Sharks – Betting Tips and Prediction

There is more to bet on than just the outright winner. Here are three more expert cricket tips based on good odds from the best online cricket betting sites in Indian rupees.

Pick Wright to Be Sussex’s Top Batsman

Luke Wright hit 82 against Hampshire earlier in the tournament and is priced at 3.5 by 22Bet to be the top run-scorer against the same opposition again.

His England career didn’t last nearly long enough for our liking, but he’s a superstar at domestic level, especially now as a specialist batsman and not an all-rounder.

Select Afridi to Be Hampshire’s Top Bowler

Shaheen Afridi had a difficult Hampshire season debut against Surrey. He went without a wicket, but is backed to bounce back and be Hampshire’s top bowler at 3.5 with LeoVegas.

He played two Test matches against England in Southampton earlier this year, so is knowledgable about the conditions at the ground for this match.

Name Wiese Player of the Match

David Wiese has started the 2020 T20 Blast well with the bat. He’s an all-rounder, so can contribute with the ball two. It’s in this twin opportunity we see value in a longshot bet.

Unibet have Sussex’s Wiese priced at 10.0 to be the player of the match. A man who has played in domestic T20 tournaments around the world is looking good for it.
