SUS vs HAM Match Prediction : T20 Blast 2025

Sussex will be looking to bounce back strongly when they host Hampshire at Hove, just a day after facing Kent in a pivotal clash. Currently fourth in the South Group with 18 points and a healthy NRR of +0.767, Sussex are well-placed in the playoff hunt but can't afford a slip-up, especially after a heavy 48-run defeat against Surrey. In that game, Sussex's bowling was taken apart as they conceded 210 runs. While Tom Clark’s 45 off 25 was a bright spot, the top order collapsed early, and Mitchell Santner’s three wickets couldn’t rescue the match.

Hampshire, on the other hand, suffered a tight 2-wicket loss to Gloucestershire despite a spirited bowling effort while defending just 124. Their batters—apart from Dewald Brevis (39) and James Fuller (17)—failed to fire. The bowling unit, however, continues to show teeth, with David Payne and Josh Shaw combining for six wickets. With just 14 points from 8 matches and only 3 wins, Hampshire are desperate for a turnaround if they want to keep playoff hopes alive.

Hove is typically a good surface for stroke play, but early movement and a slight coastal breeze could assist the new-ball bowlers. Sussex will bank on their spin duo of Santner and Coles to exploit any grip available, while Hampshire’s hopes may rest on Brevis firing and Dawson providing control in the middle overs.

Given Sussex’s stronger batting core and the added advantage of playing at home, they head into this clash as clear favourites—especially if they can carry momentum from the Kent game on July 4.

Bet on Sussex to win.
