Sussex Sharks VS Hampshire Natwest T20 Blast Preview

Sussex go into their second Natwest T20 Blast match needing a win after a disappointing opening fixture loss to Glamorgan. Too many runs cost the Sharks and they will need to respond quickly to ensure they don’t lose early ground. Hampshire go into their second match with confidence after a comfortable win over Glamorgan.

Key Players to Watch

Former captain Luke Wright was in imperious form in the opening game, smashing 101 off just 53 balls, which vindicated his decision to relinquish the captaincy to concentrate on his game. Pakistani legend Shahid Afridi will be a key man for Hampshire with his bowling a key component, as well as the ability to be destructive with the bat.

Both Teams Recent Form

Ahead of our Sussex Sharks VS Hampshire odds and free prediction we look back at the recent form of both teams in the shortest format of the game. Sussex started poorly with a loss to Glamorgan who scored a massive 198-3 which proved too much for the Sharks. In contrast Hampshire comfortably beat Glamorgan who will be looking to make an impact after a poor 2016 Natwest T20 Blast.

Sussex Sharks VS Hampshire Head-to-Head

This will be the first meeting of the season for either team in the Natwest T20 Blast but it was Sussex who had the bragging rights back in 2016 with a 4 wicket win at home last summer, whilst the return fixture at Hampshire was abandoned due to the weather.
