Gloucestershire will take on Sussex Sharks in their second match of Vitality Blast 2022 as the season moves ahead. Both teams will be looking for a win here.
Date & Time : 27th May 2022, 5:30 PM (Local)
Venue : The Seat Unique Stadium, Bristol
Gloucestershire despite being not that bad in their opening game of t20 blast 2022 lost and made a loosing start to campaign. They lost the Middlesex game by 30 runs (199/9 in 20). They now play Sussex Sharks in the South Group.
Gloucestershire are at ninth in the points table after 1 game with 0 points with a greater negative run rate.
The Jack Taylor led side needs to have batsman in form and all except Benny Howell and Ryan Higgins failed to contribute significantly. Bowing looks better but still they need to be more economical.
On the other hand, Sussex Sharks too made a loosing start to their 2022 t20 blast campaign after the 7 wicket lost to Glamorgan. They will be looking to bounce back.
Sussex Sharks are currently are currently eight in the points table after 1 game with 0 points.
The Ravi Bopara led side need batsman to contribute since Mohammad Rizwan was the lonely warrior in the previous game. In terms of their bowling they need to pick wickets to win games.
