Hampshire will face Surrey at the Rose Bowl in Southampton in a Vitality T20 Blast match from the South Group. Surrey is currently ranked third in the points standings. They’ve played nine games and won four of them. The team’s previous meeting against Sussex ended in a draw.
Hampshire has had a lot of bad luck in this event. They have only won one of their eight matches and are currently in last position in the South Group. Their previous match against Middlesex was called off due to weather.
Weather
The weather forecast is around 18 degrees Celsius, with 80% humidity and an 8 km/h wind speed. There will be a very high chance of rain during the match.
Pitch
A solid batting track is expected for today’s T20 Blast game, as shown in the third T20I between England and Sri Lanka. The batsmen should be mindful of the increased bounce and movement off the pitch, even though the ball should glide softly onto the bat. The spinners will enter the fray as the match unfolds, paving the way for a thrilling middle-order battle. After winning the toss, both teams will try to chase, with 170 being a competitive total at the venue.
