T20 Blast 2022 | SUS vs GLA | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Match 6 of the T20 Blast 2022 will witness Sussex taking on Glamorgan on Thursday (May 26) at County Ground, Hove. 

In the previous season, Sussex finished at the third position with six victories in 13 appearances of the league stage points table to qualify for the quarter-finals and later in the semi-finals. However, they lost by 21 runs to Kent in the penultimate stage. Nevertheless, they will look to go a few steps further to lift the title this season. 

The semi-finalist of the last edition will be captained by experienced Ravi Bopara in 2022. The other key players for the team will be Australian wicket-keeper batter Josh Philippe and Pakistan's gloveman Mohammad Rizwan. 

On the other hand, Glamorgan were in the same group as Sussex in the previous edition and could garner only three wins in 13 matches. They stood last in the points table and certainly have a significant scope of improvement in this edition.

The top-order batter David Lloyd will lead the Glamorgan side in this edition. Proven performers like Marnus Labuschagne and Colin Ingram are also a part of the team.
