Team Previews

Surrey Preview:

Surrey are stacked with elite players across the board. After scraping past Glamorgan despite posting only 149/8, they’ll be keen to produce a more dominant show with the bat. Jason Roy’s 69 off 47 was the standout innings, but with Dom Sibley, Ollie Pope, and Laurie Evans in the top five, consistency will be expected.

Sam Curran remains their trump card. He produced a match-winning 3/18 in the last match and has five wickets in the campaign so far. Chris Jordan and Nathan Smith both struck twice in Cardiff, showing the depth in their pace arsenal. Batting depth with Tom Curran and Jordan adds balance, but their top-order needs to fire against Hampshire’s aggressive bowling.

Hampshire Preview:

Hampshire enters this match with huge momentum after a brutal takedown of Essex. The top three – Toby Albert (54), James Vince (62), and Dewald Brevis (68 off 32) – looked unstoppable. The trio smashed 26 boundaries combined and put the match out of Essex’s reach within 12 overs.

Down the order, all-rounders Liam Dawson and Benny Howell add tremendous hitting ability and utility with the ball. Dawson’s 4/26 and Currie’s 3/20 highlighted the depth and quality in the bowling department. James Fuller, John Turner, and Chris Wood offer variation and pace options to suit the Oval’s hard surface.

Hampshire’s strong top order and better bowling performance in recent games give them a well-rounded edge heading into this clash.
