SUS vs LAN Team Previews
Sussex
Hove is an excellent place to make a beginning when you are looking to get big runs in a T20 game. This Sussex outfit has been responsible for raising scores of 200 runs and above on five occasions. Four of the Sussex batters have scored over 300 runs, and seven batters have a strike rate of over 140. In the county's bowling department, Tymal Mills and Ollie Robinson have bowled well this year at the County Ground in Hove. This is no mean achievement in the batting-friendly conditions at Hove.
Mills and Robinson are also the top two bowlers for Sussex to maintain an economy rate lower than eight through the 2024 edition of the T20 Blast. The prospects of getting the fast bowler Jofra Archer back in the side must have rejuvenated the spirits of the Sussex management. Sussex has a settled team, with ten players playing in ten or more games during the 2024 campaign. Sussex finished in the second spot in the South Group games with nine victories and 18 points.
Sussex Playing 11
Harrison Ward, Daniel Hughes, Tom Clark, James Coles, John Simpson, Tom Alsop, Jack Carson, Jofra Archer, Ollie Robinson, Tymal Mills, Bradley Currie.
Lancashire
In comparison to the Sussex team, the Lancashire outfit struggled in the North Group league phase. They were made to struggle for both wickets and runs in that competition stage. They have endured a strange season, with three games being washed away and a few one-sided affairs. There has been some concern about the batters not scoring enough runs. Just six players have succeeded in crossing the 100-run mark in the entire tournament. But they have names like Buttler, Salt, and Livingstone playing for them.
Lancashire management will be disappointed with Chris Green's unavailability in their playing eleven. However, the good news is that Livingstone is likely to return, which can compensate for Green's absence. Mahmood is also expected to be back in the team. So, at least on paper, Lancashire appears to be a strong team. When exploiting the ground conditions favoring the batters, there is no need to look further than Liam Livingstone. He also contributes to the team cause with his spin bowling.
Lancashire Playing 11
Philip Salt, Luke Wells, Liam Livingstone, Keaton Jennings, Matthew Hurst, George Dockrell, Steven Croft, Tom Hartley, Tom Aspinwall, Luke Wood, Saqib Mahmood.
