Hampshire will take on Sussex in the 44th match of the Vitality T20 Blast 2022. The Rose Bowl in Southampton will host this South Group clash on Saturday, June 4.

Hampshire are languishing at the bottom of the table, having failed to win a single game out of four. They suffered a heavy loss against Surrey in their last game.

Bowling first, the Hampshire bowlers struggled as Surrey posted a mammoth 228 on the board. The batters then succumbed to the scoreboard pressure as they were knocked over on 156, losing the game by 72 runs.

Sussex, on the other hand, lost their first two games but bounced back to win their next three. They beat Middlesex in their previous game and will look to keep performing in a similar fashion.

After electing to bowl first, the Sussex bowlers did a fantastic job of knocking over Middlesex on 163. The second innings was reduced to 17 overs due to rain and the batters then stepped up to chase down the revised target of 146 with three balls to spare.

Sussex look strong on paper as compared to Hampshire and should be able to come out on top on Saturday.
