Hampshire are riding high with a three-match winning streak in the Vitality Blast, coming off an emphatic eight-wicket victory over Middlesex. Key contributors include James Vince and Joe Weatherley with the bat, and Chris Wood with the ball. In contrast, Sussex are struggling at the bottom of the table, despite some decent individual performances from Tom Alsop, Tom Clark, and James Coles. The article recommends backing Hampshire for the win, with Coles to score over 40.5 runs, Wood to take two or more wickets, and Vince as top Hampshire batter.

Sussex have not been very good at the start of the tournament while Hampshire have won their last three games and are playing superbly. 

Key Stats - Hampshire have Won Four of their last Five


  • Hampshire’s James Vince has top-scored twice in four matches (58 & 45).
  • Hampshire’s Joe Weatherley has scored 35, 47 & 36* in his last 5 matches.
  • Hampshire’s Chris Wood has figures of 2/33, 1/63 & 2/20 in his last 3 matches.
  • Sussex’s Tom Alsop hit 2 sixes in his 24-ball 43 against Middlesex.
  • Sussex’s Tom Clark scored 79 & 31 in his last two innings.
  • Sussex’s Tymal Mills took 3/31 against Middlesex.

Hampshire lead 2-0 


Hampshire have won their last two matches against Sussex after suffering three defeats in a row.

Hampshire on Winning Run


Hampshire are on a three-match winning streak and come into the match on the back of an eight-wicket win over Middlesex after squeezing them to just 126/7 off their 20 overs.

Chris Wood (2/20) and Liam Dawson (2/24) starred with the ball for Hampshire before James Vince (45 off 29) and Joe Weatherley (36* off 21) powered them to the win off just 14 overs.

Sussex Struggling in Vitality Blast


Sussex took two heavy defeats in their last two matches as they slipped to the bottom of the table, but their batters have been putting runs on the board consistently but without scoring heavily enough to trouble their opponents. 

Tymal Mills knocked over three of the Middlesex top five but the visitors powered their way to 213/4 off their 20 overs.

Tom Clark, James Coles and Tom Alsop all scored over 30 without reaching 45 as they were bowled out for 182 off 19.4 overs to lose by 31 runs. James Coles has scored 50, 28 and 33 in his last three matches and is worth backing to score over 40.5 runs.  

Verdict

Hampshire look strong favourites to take the win, with James Coles backed to score over 40.5 runs. Chris Wood is my pick to take two or more wickets while James Vince is worth backing to top-score for Hampshire.
