Surrey will lock horns with Hampshire in Match 34 of T20 Blast 2022 on June 2 (Thursday) at Kennington Oval, London.
Surrey have won both of their league matches and are looking like a formidable team. They had a terrific start in their last outing, with Will Jacks (51) and Jason Roy (28) helping the team cross 70+ runs in six overs. However, the batting order crumbled and were dismissed for a score of 129.
Although it was a below par total, Sam Curran delivered well by finishing with figures of 4/14 in three overs to secure a 37-run victory for the team. They have an unchanged squad for this fixture and will look to continue their fine momentum and make it 3/3.
On the other hand, Hampshire are languishing at the bottom of the points table with no wins in three appearances. In their recent fixture, the batting unit posted only 150, with Ben McDermott (38) and Joe Weatherley (37) as the key contributors.
Only Brad Wheal and Nathan Ellis returned with a single wicket as the opposition chased down the score in under 14 overs. It will be critical for them to bring their A-game and open their account before it’s too late. Ian Holland can replace Scott Curie in the XI.
