The points table is taking shape in the T20 Blast 2026, and we have had close contests in the last two weeks. Surrey has had a mixed bag of results and must gather steam as they take on the Sussex Sharks at home in the 88th game. Surrey lost their last game to Gloucestershire and must put it behind them. The Sussex Sharks suffered yet another crushing defeat in their last game against the Essex Eagles.
Surrey has dominated the Sussex Sharks over the last few seasons, winning five of the last six games. They have a stronger batting lineup than their opponents, putting them in a better position. The Sharks have won only twice this season and have failed to hold their nerve in crunch moments. The odds are stacked against them, and it will be interesting to see if they can surprise Surrey.

Ollie Pope and his team struggled with the bat in the last game against Gloucestershire. The star-studded batting lineup failed in what should have been an easy run chase, going down by 57 runs. They are 8th on the points table and in a good position to make it to the next round. Pope must exploit Sussex Sharks’ lack of form and register a big win to take his team up on the points table.
Jason Roy is the leading run-getter this season, and the team need him to deliver a strong start with Laurie Evans. They have a formidable middle order and expect partnerships between Daniel Lawrence, Josh Philippe, and Ollie Pope. Tom Curran, Tom Lawes, and Sean Abbott are powerful strikers, and the team expects them to use the long handle in the death overs.
The bowling attack has done well this season. Reece Topley, with his 17 wickets, is among the top performers in the tournament. He must strike early alongside Tom Curran to put the team in a strong position. Chris Jordan and Sean Abbott add experience to the attack and must do well in the middle overs. With Lawrence, Yousef Majid, and Tom Lawes in the mix, the bowling attack packs a punch.

It had been a season of misses for Tymal Mills and his men. After nine games, they are sitting at the bottom of the points table with only two wins. The team suffered a 100-run loss in the last game against the Essex Eagles. The lack of consistency in the top order and the new-ball attack has hurt them badly this season. With their hopes of reaching the next round already over, Mills expects a strong show from his players to restore lost pride.
Daniel Hughes is the backbone of this batting lineup with 266 runs this season. He must deliver a good start with Harrison Ward. George Thomas, John Simpson, and Oliver Carter have struggled with their consistency and must do well for the team to win this game. They also need support in the lower middle order from Tom Alsop, Jack Carson, and Danny Briggs.
The bowling attack leaked 204 runs in the last game and must aim to perform better. Tymal Mills is the team’s best bowler and must get early breakthroughs alongside Sean Hunt. Henry Crocombe’s struggles have hurt the team, and he must deliver tight overs in the middle with Danny Brigg. They lack depth in the bowling and need a good show from Jack Carson.

The skies over London will be clear, and we expect a warm day. The maximum temperature predicted for the day is 24°C, and the humidity will be around 38%. The wicket will be flat, allowing the batters to play their strokes.
Kennington Oval, London, is a good venue for batsmen, and the ball comes nicely onto the bat, allowing batsmen to play their strokes freely on this surface. The shorter square boundaries also make it easy to score runs. Fast bowlers get early movement, but spinners struggle here. The average first innings score in the last season was 171. The side batting first will need 200 runs on the board to feel safe.
In the last 30 games, the team chasing the score has won 18 times. The wicket is good for chasing a score, as the conditions are good for the bowlers in the first hour of the game. The team winning the toss would look to capitalize on this by opting to bowl first.
Sussex Sharks have been all over the place this season. They have lost the last three games, including one against Surrey. The top order has failed to deliver consistent starts, resulting in underwhelming scores. The team needs a better show from the top order to win this game. Surrey play at home and have a good record against the Sharks. With a stronger batting lineup, they start as favorites.
