Gloucestershire vs Sussex Preview:
Gloucestershire( GLO ) is set to face Sussex( SUS ) in their South Group during the T20 Blast, 2025. This match is scheduled to take place at the College Ground on Thursday, July 17.
Gloucestershire put on a strong all-round performance in Cardiff on Sunday, securing a 40-run win and heading back across the Severn Bridge with confidence.
Their success was built on a solid batting display, as they posted 175 for 6. Opener Miles Hammond got them off to a good start, while Ben Charlesworth led the way with a composed 55 off 44 balls.
Jack Taylor, batting in the middle order, played a steadying role and may well look to rotate the strike in the upcoming game—freeing up others to go on the attack.
With the ball, left-arm pacer David Payne was the pick of the bowlers, claiming three wickets. Marchant de Lange also continues to be a real threat at this level with his pace and bounce.
As for Sussex Sharks, they came up against a red-hot James Vince in their last outing and couldn’t defend their total of 167. That loss marked their fourth consecutive defeat.
While the openers—George Thomas (37) and Daniel Hughes (27)—got starts, it was Tom Clark at number three who top-scored with 39. To post a bigger total, they’ll need someone in the top order to kick on and play a more substantial innings.
With the ball, Danny Lamb picked up two wickets, but Sussex will be hoping to see Tymal Mills back at his best. Before the last match, he had taken two or more wickets in three of his previous four games and remains a key figure in their attack.
