Glamorgan Team News & Playing 11
GLA Team News
Playing Surrey in any format is never easy and so it proved for Glamorgan who were unable to get their 2024 T20 Blast off to a winning start at home on Friday. That said, the bowling attack took eight wickets and three batters made scores between 40 and 58 so there are positives to take into this match.
GLA Team Batting
With the bat, the experienced pair of Colin Ingram and Marnus Labuschagne both made half-centuries against Surrey and we expect both to be big contributors again. Sam Northeast and Kiran Carlson both made single figure scores on Friday but will both be considered as potential dangermen by the Sussex bowlers.
GLA Team Bowling
Although they finished on the losing side, all of Glamorgan’s bowling attack took at least one wicket on Friday so there should be a good level of self belief in the group ahead of returning to Sophia Gardens for this match. Dan Douthwaite was particularly impressive.
GLA Team Form
Glamorgan ended up on the losing side but pushed a very strong Surrey side all the way in their opener.

Sussex Team News & Playing 11
SUS Team News
It was close but Sussex Sharks got over the line with a bye from the final ball to triumph by 3 wickets over Gloucestershire at Hove on Friday evening. Relying on the lower order to win a match with the bat is never ideal but a tight victory will do wonders for the confidence of Tymal Mills’ side.
SUS Team Batting
Requiring 168 to win, runs from Daniel Hughes (37), Fynn Hudson-Prentice (47), John Simpson (36) and Danny Lamb (23) were crucial. But it was Nathan McAndrew and Jack Carson who completed the victory and the Sharks will be looking for more from Oli Carter, Tom Alsop and James Coles in the top four in this match.
SUS Team Bowling
Ollie Robinson, Danny Lamb and James Coles all went wicketless against Gloucestershire but there are plenty of other wicket taking options in this bowling attack. Expect Jack Carson and Nathan McAndrew to be dangerous throughout and for captain Tymal Mills to be the main threat with the ball against Glamorgan.
SUS Team Form
Sussex Sharks will be looking to make it two wins out of two for this season.

🏆 Glamorgan vs Sussex Prediction
With a skilful and experienced bowler like Tymal Mills leading Sussex, they will always be a threat but there are question marks over their batting line-up in spite of them managing to just about beat Gloucestershire. We think Glamorgan’s batting is stronger and we are backing them to get the win at home on Sunday.
