Match Details

Team Preview

Sussex Preview
Sussex, under Tymal Mills, continues its desperate push for qualification. Their recent 4-wicket win over Gloucestershire showed grit and finishing prowess. Daniel Hughes and George Thomas must anchor the innings early, especially against Surrey’s new-ball strength. James Coles and Tom Clark are the middle-order engine, but much depends on whether they can handle spin in the middle overs.

Tom Alsop and John Simpson offer experience, while Nathan McAndrew’s all-round value adds crucial balance. In bowling, Ollie Robinson’s powerplay role and Mills’ death bowling will be critical. The side needs consistent overs from Danny Lamb and Henry Crocombe to contain Surrey’s deep lineup.

Surrey Preview
Already through to the next round, Surrey comes in confident and relaxed. Skipper Sam Curran is leading both tactically and with performance. The top-order pairing of Will Jacks and Ryan Patel is giving fast starts. Jason Roy, Daniel Lawrence, and Sam Curran form a dynamic middle order that can either anchor or accelerate.

Lower down, the firepower of Tom Curran, Jamie Overton, and Chris Jordan ensures depth. Bowling has been consistent—despite occasional lapses from Topley and Jordan Clark. Overton and Curran provide pace options, while Sam Curran and Jacks handle spin containment.

Expect aggressive intent from Surrey, especially with momentum on their side.
