TEAMS PREVIEW
Sussex Preview
Sussex are in great form with back-to-back wins after their loss to Glamorgan. They scored 200+ batting first in both of these wins. Skipper Daniel Hughes was impressive against Glamorgan with his 38-ball 74 runs knock.
He’s failed to get going since then. He was out for 16 off 18 balls in the last match. As an opener, his form is crucial to the side. Harrison Ward looks in good touch. He needs to stay around a bit longer to ensure a solid start.
The last match saw the top 4 get out cheaply leaving plenty of work for J Simpson and Tom Alsop in the lower middle order. Tom Clark and James Coles are key batters for Sussex in the middle order.
Most of the key players have been in good touch and consistently delivering for Sussex. And the recent win should boost their confidence to stage a comeback at their home venue in Hove.
In the bowling attack, they’ve got Ollie Robinson leading the pace attack. He can move the ball both ways and should be one to watch out for. Bradley Curie is another pacer who’s found consistent success for the team.
Left-arm orthodox bowler James Coles picked up 8 wickets in two matches and looks threatening at the moment.
Sussex Predicted Playing XI:
Daniel Hughes (c), Harrison Ward, Tom Clark, James Coles, John Simpson (wk), Tom Alsop, Danny Lamb, Nathan McAndrew, Jack Carson, Ollie Robinson, Bradley Currie

Essex Preview
Essex Eagles are coming into this match on the back of a brilliant win. Dean Elgar finally scored in double digits though his strike rate was still an issue.
Adam Rossington has raised hopes with some big-hitting at the top and will be one to watch out for. The best performances came from Paul Walter and Matthew Critchley at 4 and 5 who helped Essex post a competitive total on the board.
They’ve got a solid bowling attack as well. Simon Harmer, Sam Cook, and Eathan Bosch are all wicket-taking bowlers who will be crucial in this game.
Batting all-rounder Paul Walter has also found consistent breakthroughs for the Eagles and adds more variety to the attack. Skipper Harmer should back his bowlers to put the hosts on the back foot with some early wickets.
The batting has been very inconsistent lately with not many of them finding their rhythm except for Michael Kyle-Pepper. And though the last match saw others also rising to the occasion, only the lower middle order could make an impact.
As such, the bowlers will be crucial for Essex to gain an advantage in this contest.
Essex Predicted Playing XI:
Adam Rossington (wk), Dean Elgar, Michael-Kyle Pepper, Robin Das, Paul Walter, Matthew Critchley, Charlie Allison, Simon Harmer (c), Eathan Bosch, Shane Snater, Sam Cook

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
It is a batting-friendly wicket here where 200-run totals are quite common in the first innings. However, it is not as easy to score in the second innings, and chasing something around 200 would be quite challenging on this pitch. The weather is likely to be sunny with a high of 17 degrees Celsius at the time of the match here in Hove.

County Ground in Hove will be the venue for this match. It has hosted 4 T20 Blast matches in 2024 and the team batting first has won every one of them. It offers a close contest between bat and ball making for some great T20 cricket action. We reckon the team batting first will need at least 200 runs on the board to win the match.
Toss: To Bat
Batting first should be the clear choice on this ground considering the previous results here. Both teams have a deep batting lineup with reliable finishers in the side and should be able to put up a good total. Moreover, it is their bowlers who look threatening enough to defend a total.
SUS vs ESS
Winning Prediction
