Sussex will enter this South Group fixture with confidence, having comprehensively beaten Glamorgan by 78 runs in their previous outing. The batting unit looked sharp with James Coles smashing an unbeaten 75 and Tom Alsop scoring a rapid 50, helping Sussex post a commanding 195. Their bowling was equally dominant, with Nathan McAndrew's five-wicket haul dismantling Glamorgan for just 117. Sussex now sit joint-top of the table with three wins from four and a healthy NRR of +1.956, showcasing both form and balance.
In contrast, Essex remain winless after four matches, languishing at the bottom of the table. Their batting continues to struggle with inconsistency, as seen against Middlesex where they managed only 156 despite Rossington and Elgar getting starts. The bowling unit has also lacked penetration, failing to defend totals or restrict opposition batting lineups. The pressure is mounting on experienced campaigners like Simon Harmer and Mohammad Amir to turn things around quickly.
Given Sussex's current form, superior all-round depth, and Essex’s ongoing struggles in both departments, Sussex start as firm favourites in this contest.
