Host Sussex will be looking to continue their decent form when they take on Essex in the 108th match of T20 Blast at Hove.

Sussex registered a 33-run win over Glamorgan, courtesy splendid contributions from Phil Salt, Luke Wright and Archie Lenham. Wicket-keeper Phil Salt, who has earned his maiden call-up for England ODI series against Pakistan, will not available for remaining three matches. The home side will be looking to find a suitable replacement to partner Luke Wright at the top of the innings.

On the other hand, Essex have managed to register back-to-back victories in the tournament. With 11 points to their name in 11 matches, 2019 T20 Blast Champions do have a realistic chance of qualifying for the next round. The county side will need to win atleast two matches to seal their place in the knockout stages.

Sussex Preview

Delray Rawlins is set to replace Phil Salt in the playing XI for this must-win game. It is expected that Travis Head might be promoted to open the innings with Luke Wright for this home fixture.

In the batting department, the side will be relying on in-form opener Luke Wright to lead the way with the bat. He has done consistently well this season and will need to make a notable contribution with the bat.

Besides Wright, the onus will be on the experienced duo of Ravi Bopara and Travis Head to raise their game with the bat and make a decent contribution for Sussex.

In the bowling department, the side will be relying on pacers Mitchell Claydon, Tymal Mills along with leg-spinner Archie Lenham to deliver crucial breakthroughs.

Against Glamorgan, Archie Lenham was the pick of the bowlers for Sussex and claimed four wickets in his four-overs.

Sussex Predicted Playing XI:

Luke Wright (c), Travis Head, Ravi Bopara, Delray Rawlins, David Wiese, Harrison Ward, Aaron Thomason, Will Beer, Tymal Mills, Archie Lenham, Mitchell Claydon
