Sussex Sharks play host to Hampshire Hawks in the South Group, 80th match of the Vitality T20 Blast 2025 on Saturday, 5th July. The match is slated to be played at County Ground, Hove and the scheduled start time is 11:30 PM IST.

Sussex Sharks vs Hampshire Hawks Chance of Winning

The Sussex Sharks are in excellent form, coming off a 34-run victory over Kent in their last match. They posted a strong total of 195/9, thanks to quick innings from Daniel Hughes (48 runs) and Tom Clark (43 runs). Danny Lamb then led the bowling attack with Sussex's first five-wicket haul of the season (5/15), supported by Tymal Mills (3/20).

The Hampshire Hawks, on the other hand, are looking to bounce back from a two-wicket loss against Gloucestershire before the County Championship break. In that match, the Hawks only managed 124/9 batting first, with no batter scoring more than 20. However, their bowlers, led by Chris Wood and Benny Howell (two wickets each), fought hard. The Hawks have made a couple of key changes for this game and will be eager to end their five-match winless streak.

Based on recent performance and analysis, the Sussex Sharks are the favorites to win this match, given their strong bowling lineup, whereas Hampshire will miss some firepower in their batting.

Sussex Sharks vs Hampshire Hawks Top Batters

Daniel Hughes to be the Top Batter for Sussex Sharks

Daniel Hughes has scored 171 runs in 8 matches this season, averaging 24.2. He's been a bit out of form lately, but in his last three innings, he's shown signs of a comeback with scores of 48, 7, and 25 runs. He was the top scorer in the last match and looked very fluent, hitting the ball cleanly. He has a great record at County Ground, Hove, where he's scored 531 runs in 14 matches, averaging 44.25. We believe he'll continue his good form from the last match and be Sussex's top batter in this game.

James Vince to be the Top Batter for Hampshire Hawks

Hampshire Hawks captain, James Vince, has scored 193 runs in 8 matches this season, averaging 27.57. He's the second-highest run-scorer for the Hawks, and in his last three matches, he's scored 70 runs, top-scoring once. He has an outstanding record at Hove, where he's scored 1096 runs in 32 matches, averaging 40.59. Against Sussex specifically, he has scored 856 runs in 24 matches at an average of 45.05. He will be crucial to the Hawks' chances of winning this match, and we expect him to be Hampshire's top batter.

Sussex Sharks vs Hampshire Hawks Top Bowlers

Tymal Mills to be the Top Bowler for Sussex Sharks

The captain of the Sussex Sharks, was the second-best bowler in the last match against Kent, taking three wickets. He's been very effective this season, with 13 wickets in 8 matches at an average of 19.15 and an economy of 9.70. His record at County Ground, Hove, is exceptional, having taken 98 wickets in 70 matches. We expect Mills to maintain his excellent form and be Sussex's top bowler in this fixture.

Chris Wood to be the Top Bowler for Hampshire Hawks

The tall left-arm pacer, has taken 8 wickets in 8 matches this season, and hasn't quite found his best rhythm with the ball yet. However, at Hove, where conditions can sometimes favor bowlers, Wood will be looking to get back to his usual impressive form. He has a strong record at this venue, with 36 wickets in 30 matches, and against the Sussex Sharks, he has picked up 23 wickets in 21 matches. He typically bowls during the powerplay and death overs, when batters are most likely to attack. We expect him to outshine the other bowlers and take the most wickets for his team in this match.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Sussex Sharks

The home team Sussex Sharks enter this contest as favourites, they won two of the three matches played at County Ground, Hove. Sussex has the best of bowling lineups, while Hampshire will miss their top batters in this fixture which hinders their chances a bit. We are backing Sussex to win this fixture.
