Surrey Preview
Surrey have been a consistent force in the T20 Blast over the years, and 2025 is no different. Sam Curran’s leadership has galvanized the squad with a fine mix of experience and youthful exuberance. The batting lineup is deep with the likes of Jason Roy, Will Jacks, and Dominic Sibley providing early momentum. In the previous match, Sibley’s 70 and Jacks’ explosive 41 helped post a big total, backed by Curran’s brisk cameo of 38 off 20.
In bowling, Reece Topley and Nathan Smith continue to impress. Smith’s 3/18 was a game-changing spell, ably supported by Chris Jordan and Mitchell Santner who’ve been reliable throughout.
Sussex Preview
Sussex, led by Tymal Mills, have had a topsy-turvy season. Despite inconsistent results, individual brilliance keeps them alive. Harrison Ward’s 55 off 24 in the previous game was vintage T20 batting. John Simpson has anchored innings well, while James Coles and Daniel Hughes bring stability in the middle.
Bowling remains Sussex’s strong point. Nathan McAndrew’s astonishing 6/21 showcased his game-breaking abilities. With Tymal Mills and Ollie Robinson around him, Sussex can never be underestimated.

Favourite Team Prediction
Surrey start as favorites in this contest and rightly so. They have been far more consistent in team performances than Sussex. Their batting order has clicked in unison in recent matches and their all-round depth—especially with Sam Curran and Chris Jordan—gives them an upper hand in crunch situations. Their bowling unit is vastly experienced and can adapt to different conditions. Surrey have also dominated the head-to-head record historically and are known to perform well at Kennington Oval, their home venue. With more match-winners and a balanced side, they look better positioned to seal a win in this important clash.
