Sussex vs Surrey, South Group: head-to-head and other key stats

Surrey lost their previous encounter versus Sussex as they couldn’t defend 148 under the leadership of their stand-in captain Sam Curran. However, now, their regular skipper Chris Jordan returns which would be a huge boost for their side. Surrey have done well in bit and pieces but are coming into the game on the back of a huge win. Surrey will come out all guns blazing in this away fixture. Expect another entertaining battle in the Vitality T20 Blast.

On the other hand, Sussex have followed a loss-win pattern until now. They lost games on either side of their solo victory against Surrey. They are coming off a defeat at the hands of Essex by 25 runs. Though the bowling department did a decent job by restricting Essex to 163/7, the batting department didn’t raise to the occasion. The Ravi Bopara-led unit bowed down to the magical hattrick by Simon Harmer and were skittled out for 138 runs. The match has all the makings of going down to the wire, with two quality sides going against each other.
