Gloucestershire vs Sussex Sharks Preview

Naseem Shah was bowled out in Radlett, but we expect him to bounce back in Bristol. He is one of the fastest bowlers in the world, and he is our pick to be Gloucestershire’s top wicket-taker against Sussex Sharks.
Mohammed Rizwan frequently makes IT20s appear too easy, so it was no surprise to see him finish first on Thursday evening. The opener is a strong contender for the Sussex Sharks’ leading run-scorer in this game.
Delray Rawlins had a 5.00 economy rate and fired Marnus Labuschagne in Hove. He is our pick to be the top wicket-taker for Sussex Sharks against Gloucestershire.

In the 2022 Vitality Blast, Gloucestershire will face Sussex Sharks. On Friday, May 27th, the game will begin at 18:30 local time at The County Ground in Bristol.

Gloucestershire was defeated by Middlesex by 33 runs in their season opener on Thursday night at Radlett Cricket Club, thanks to a Steve Eskinazi masterclass. Naseem Shah and David Payne both took two wickets, but it was Ryan Higgins’ 3-32 that stood out for Gloucestershire. With the bat, chasing 230 for victory was always going to be difficult, but Gloucestershire was never really in it, with Benny Howell’s 46 from number seven their most significant contribution.

Sussex Sharks were one of the most impressive teams during the 2021 season, but they were defeated at home by Glamorgan on Thursday evening. Mohammed Rizwan demonstrated that he is an excellent replacement for Phil Salt at the top of the order, scoring 81 not out from 60 balls. Sadly for the Sharks, no other batter scored more than 13 runs. The county will be counting down the days until Rashid Khan returns, but Delray Rawlins was the standout performer with 1-20 from 4 overs.

Gloucestershire vs Sussex Sharks Weather Report

On May 27, there will be unusual clouds over Bristol, but we expect a flat track, as we have in the past. In the past, the track has produced a lot of runs, and batsmen have enjoyed their time on the crease.

Gloucestershire vs Sussex Sharks Match Toss Prediction

It is one of the highest-scoring venues in England, and most teams have preferred to chase here in the past. Setting a total at this venue is difficult, as we’ve seen big run chases. In this game, the team that wins the toss will almost certainly choose to bowl first.

The match will take place at Bristol’s County Ground. With Pakistan pacer Naseem Shah in the team, we can expect a quick wicket that will help the fast bowlers.

Gloucestershire Team News & Probable Playing XIs

Gloucestershire have started the season with a loss, and Jack Taylor will be disappointed with his bowlers’ performance. In the previous game, they allowed Middlesex batsmen to score 229 runs and lost by 30 runs. Their record against Sussex isn’t particularly encouraging, and Taylor would like to get back on track with a victory at home.

Gloucestershire Probable Playing XI

Jack Taylor (c), James Bracey (wk), Ian Cockbain, Miles Hammond, Glenn Phillips, Benny Howell, Tom Smith, Ryan Higgins, Paul van Meekeren, Naseem Shah, and David Payne.

Sussex Sharks Team News & Probable Playing XIs

It wasn’t the start Ravi Bopara would have preferred. In the previous game against Glamorgan, they batted poorly and put up an average total. Bopara wants his team to recover from their 7-wicket loss. They have a good record at Bristol against Gloucestershire in the past, and the Sharks captain wants his players to be inspired by those victories.

Ravi Bopara (c), Mohammad Rizwan (wk), Luke Wright, Josh Philippe, George Garton, Harrison Ward, Delray Rawlins, Will Beer, Archie Lenham, Tymal Mills, and Steven Finn.
