SUS vs GLO Team Previews
Sussex
The Sussex team also goes into this game after two victories. Sussex played their quarter-final against Lancashire in Hove. Lancashire batted first to raise a modest total of 114 runs all out. The Sussex top order was ruthless in their batting effort and reached the target easily for the loss of just two wickets in 14.1 overs. They won the game with as many as 35 balls to spare. James Cole was awarded the Player of the Match for his 27 not out with the bat and two for nine with the ball.
The Sussex bowling shared the honors during their effort in the field. Four of their bowlers picked up two wickets each and hunted in a pack. Ollie Robinson, Brad Currie, Jofra Archer, and James Coles picked up two wickets each, while Jack Carson picked up the remaining wicket to fall to the bowlers. The Sussex reply was robust, with the openers Harrison Ward and Daniel Hughes 39 runs for the opening wicket. Even after they were dismissed, Tom Clark and James Coles took the team to a win with plenty to spare.

Gloucestershire
The Gloucestershire team is going into this game on the back of three wins in a row. They played Birmingham Bears in the quarter-finals to record a victory by a margin of 14 runs. In a low-scoring affair played at this venue, Gloucestershire could just manage 138 runs all out while batting first. Birmingham Bears failed to chase this target and ended up on 124 for nine in their twenty overs. Oliver Price was awarded the Player of the Match trophy for his three wickets and a couple of catches.
Gloucestershire made an excellent start to their innings, with Miles Hammond and Cameron Bancroft putting together 51 runs for the opening wicket in 5.2 overs. Bancroft was the top batter for Gloucestershire, scoring 43 runs from 35 balls and four fours. But after the openers were dismissed, a procession started, and despite some valuable contributions from the lower middle order, the innings never accelerated at the end. David Payne had other ideas, though. While opening the bowling attack, he picked up four wickets and was well supported by Oliver Price and Josh Shaw, who picked up three and two wickets, respectively.
