Sussex have left a lot to be desired in this T20 Blast 2026 campaign so far. Heading into their final game of the season, they are out of the quarter-finals race and sit bottom of South Group with 3 wins and 8 losses.
Those three victories came over the likes of Essex, Kent, and Middlesex, and were powerless against the stronger sides. Against a tough opposition like Hampshire, they would be looking to end the season on a positive note.
Sussex’s batting is led by Daniel Hughes, who has scored 383 runs in 11 innings. The veteran left-hand batter has maintained an average of 42.56 and strike rate of 151.38.
Harrison Ward (249 runs in 8 innings) and Tom Alsop (189 runs in 9 innings) are the other key contributors with the bat. The former has an impressive strike rate of 169.39 while Alsop plays more of an anchor role.
John Simpson (162 runs in 9 innings) and James Coles (157 runs in 6 innings) provide good batting depth.
Despite some good batting performances, it is their bowling efforts that has let the side down. Captain Tymal Mills has been by far the best bowler for the team. The left-arm pacer has taken 15 wickets in 11 matches.
Other than him, Danny Briggs is the only other bowler to have crossed the 10 wickets mark. Sean Hunt (8 wickets in 6 matches), and James Coles (5 wickets in 6 matches) have managed to chip-in with wickets too, but there loads improvement to be made.

Hampshire have had a strong T20 Blast 2026 campaign so far, sitting 2nd in South Group with 7 wins and 4 losses this season till now.
They have secured several impressive victories, including wins over Essex, Surrey, Middlesex, and Yorkshire. Their consistent performances have kept them well in contention in the South Group as they push for a playoff spot.
Hampshire’s batting is powered by top-class performers. Two individuals have crossed the 300 runs mark. Joe Weatherley is the top scorer for the team and has been in excellent form with 349 runs in 11 innings while James Vince has scored 301 runs in 10 innings.
Weatherley has been consistently scoring runs in almost every game, averaging 38.78. Veteran batter James Vince meanwhile likes to play a more aggressive brand of cricket, striking at 155.95 strike rate this term.
South African Tristan Stubbs (278 runs in 9 innings), and Toby Albert (218 runs in 11 innings) are some big names available in the Hampshire middle-order, which makes it a tremendous batting outfit in general. Hilton Cartwright and Liam Dawson can also contribute.
The bowling attack has been highly effective but has mainly relied on two individuals. Scott Currie leads the way with 19 wickets in 11 matches including his best performance of 4/18 vs Essex. Chris Wood has also taken 17 wickets in 11 matches.
Outside of the two, they are supported by Sonny Baker (8 wickets), Liam Dawson (8 wickets), and James Fuller (8 wickets).

The pitch at County Ground, Hove is generally batting-friendly with true bounce and good pace that allows batters to play their shots confidently. The boundaries are relatively short, especially square of the wicket, which encourages aggressive batting and high scores. Pacers get some early swing and seam movement, particularly with the sea breeze.
This will be the first match of the season at the venue, bringing enthusiasm of uncertainty along with it. So the captain who wins the toss, would ideally prefer to bowl first and assess how the conditions play.
The contest is slightly in favour of Hampshire. They have a strong batting line-up including prominent names like Vince, Stubbs, Albert with Scott Currie and Wood in top form with the ball. Sussex meanwhile rely too much on Daniel Hughes and captain Tymal Mills to turn out their hero. That's a lot to expect. So back Hampshire to win.
