Preview:

Sussex made a good start in this year’s T20 Blast as they thrashed Gloucestershire by 5 wickets with 16 balls still left in the game, thanks to an incredible batting display from Philip Salt and even better all-round performances from George Garton. They should carry forward the momentum they have got and should repeat the same performances.

Hampshire lost their 1st match against Kent by 38 runs, and then with some brilliant all-round performances, they won their next match against the Essex by 13 runs. It’s a marathon to race in this tournament and they should take it one game at a time.
