It’s a clash of the South Group’s early pace-setters as unbeaten Sussex take on unbeaten Somerset at Hove, with both sides having registered emphatic back-to-back wins. Sussex come into this game high on confidence after a thumping 80-run win over Gloucestershire. Their top order was electric, with John Simpson (86 off 64) anchoring the innings, while Alsop and Coles provided the acceleration. Sussex’s bowling, spearheaded by Tymal Mills (3/13), was ruthless, bundling Gloucestershire out for just 93.
Somerset were equally dominant in their eight-wicket demolition of Essex at Chelmsford. Will Smeed (81* off 54) starred in a clinical chase after Somerset’s seamers—led by Ben Green (3/30) and Riley Meredith (2/18)—kept Essex to a below-par total. The depth in Somerset’s bowling and the explosiveness of their top order, including Tom Lammonby and Tom Kohler-Cadmore, make them a well-balanced and formidable outfit.
This match at Hove promises fireworks with both teams in red-hot form. Sussex’s batting has looked deep and dynamic, while their bowling is well-rounded with pace and spin options. Somerset’s experienced campaigners and power-packed top four give them a slight edge in pressure situations. The conditions at Hove have generally aided batting, but recent matches have also shown bounce and grip for spinners. Toss may again play a role, with chasing likely preferred under lights.
