Sussex Sharks vs Hampshire Hawks Preview

• Rashid Khan appeared back to his best on Friday, despite having a quiet tournament by his norms. Our prediction for the match’s leading wicket-taker for the Sussex Sharks is the Afghan spinner.

• With 17 wickets this season, Liam Dawson is our pick to lead the Hampshire Hawks in wickets in this match.

Hampshire Hawks are the favourites to win this match.

 

We do not anticipate this match to have a season-ending dead-rubber feel, even though Hampshire Hawks have already qualified and Sussex Sharks are no longer in contention for the knockout stage. With names like James Vince and Ben McDermott at the top of the order, Sussex Sharks have a lot of talent and would love the chance to defeat them. In this matchup, though, we are betting on an away victory.
