Sussex Sharks vs Glamorgan Preview
- Sussex Sharks have a batting unit loaded with T20 specialists, and dealing with them could prove to be a difficult task for Glamorgan’s bowling unit, which is relatively inexperienced.
- Glamorgan relies far too heavily on players like David Llyod, Marnus Labuschagne, and Colin Ingram to score quickly in the middle order.
- Sussex Sharks are playing on their home turf, and their familiarity with the conditions should help them.
In the 2022 Vitality Blast, Sussex Sharks will face Glamorgan. The game will begin at 19:00 local time on Thursday, May 26th at The County Ground in Hove.
Sussex Sharks were one of the strongest teams in the 2021 Vitality Blast, making it all the way to Finals Day before losing by 21 runs to eventual winners Kent Spitfires in the semi-final. Luke Wright stepped down as Sharks captain ahead of the season, with experienced former England all-rounder Ravi Bopara taking over. Rashid Khan will not be available for this game due to IPL commitments, but will join Sussex as soon as the IPL concludes.
Last year’s tournament saw no team win fewer games than Glamorgan, who finished bottom of the South Group. They won only three of 14 matches and earned eight points, seven of which came from the top four positions. They are not without quality foreign players, however, with both Australia’s Marnus Labuschagne and South Africa’s Colin Ingram returning for another season. Dan Douthwaite, an all-rounder, was Glamorgan’s leading wicket-taker in the 2021 Blast, with 15 wickets.
