Sussex have had a rather disappointing start to their T20 Blast 2026 campaign. They have shown flashes of brilliance with some impressive victories (including a strong win over Essex and a recent victory against Kent), but have also suffered defeats against Kent, Middlesex, Hampshire, and Leicestershire.
They currently sit at 2nd bottom place in the South Group points table with just 2 wins and 4 losses and will be looking for consistency as the competition progresses.
Sussex’s batting has been led by veteran overseas star Daniel Hughes, who has scored 181 runs in 6 innings at a strike rate of 128.37. He has been consistently scoring runs but yet to play a big inning. His highest score this season so far is 44 off 25 balls in the opening game against Essex.
Middle-order batters John Simpson (138 runs in 6 innings) and Tom Clark (122 runs in 3 innings) have had the responsibility to maintain stability in the middle-order, especially Clark’s knock of 79 off 29 balls vs Kent was truly outstanding.
All-rounder James Coles (113 runs in 4 innings) has provided solid contributions too and as a result has been called-up to the England senior team squad.
The bowling attack is spearheaded by experienced campaigner and captain Tymal Mills. The left-arm pacer has taken 10 wickets in 6 matches. He went wicketless for the opening two games but in the last four matches, he has bagged 2 or more wickets every game.
He is well-supported by Danny Briggs (6 wickets in 6 matches), Sean Hunt (5 wickets in 2 matches), and all-rounder James Coles (3 wickets). Overall, Sussex’s bowling performance has been decent but hugely reliant on their captain’s spell.

Surrey have had a mixed but competitive start to the T20 Blast 2026. They have registered 3 wins and as many defeats in their opening 6 games.
They secured some impressive victories (including a big 59-run win over Lancashire and an 8-wicket win over Middlesex) but have also suffered defeats against strong sides like Hampshire and Kent. Sitting at 3rd place, they remain firmly in contention in the South Group.
Surrey boast a high-quality and experienced batting line-up, regarded as one of the best sides in the shortest format in the country. All-rounder Sam Curran has been in excellent form scoring 168 runs in 6 innings at a strike rate of 142.37 promoting himself to bat in middle-order.
At the top, Jason Roy has been in sublime touch with 143 runs in 6 innings. His opening partner Will Jacks has also scored 109 runs in 4 innings with his best score of 70 runs off 42 balls vs Hampshire. In the middle-order, Daniel Lawrence (136 runs in 5 innings) and Ollie Pope (114 runs in 6 innings) adds significant batting prowess.
In the bowling side of things, Reece Topley has been in great form, taking 10 wickets in 6 matches. He is well-supported by Tom Curran (7 wickets in 6 matches), Jordan Clark (5 wickets), and Yousef Majid (5 wickets).
This a well balanced bowling attack, with a strong mix of pace and experience, is capable of defending totals and taking wickets at key moments.

On Friday, June 26 in Hove, expect a mild and pleasant day. The temperature is likely to be in highs around 22-25°C and lows near 15-17°C. Skies will feature sunny intervals mixed with cloud and a moderate breeze. A small chance of light showers cannot be ruled out, but most of the day looks dry.

The pitch at The 1st Central County Ground in Hove is generally balanced to slightly bowler-friendly, offering good pace, bounce, and seam movement early on, especially with any sea breeze assisting swing. It can be lively for pacers, while batters who play patiently can accelerate on the true surface. Spinners get some grip as the game progresses.
The captain who wins the toss, would most likely bowl first. There is a bit of moisture early on which would aid the pace bowlers, particularly with the new ball. It is also likely to get better to bat in the following inning.
Surrey is the favourite outfit to win this clash. Sussex languish at the bottom half of the table while Surrey is pushing for top of the table in South Group. They boast a solid group of batters and bowlers in the line-up and rough form of Sussex could further play into Surrey’s hand.
