Sussex will lock horns against Essex in the United Kingdom Vitality Blast on Friday. Both teams, with similar form, lost their last three games. Essex have won four games in their last five head-to-head clashes over Sussex. Can the away team win here? Below are previews, betting tips, and odds.
Sussex Preview
Sussex suffered a 74-run defeat to Warwickshire in their last game, putting them on a three-game losing streak. This team has been disappointing in their recent games, recording three straight losses: 118 runs to Hampshire, 7 wickets to Surrey, and 74 runs to Warwickshire. Not only have they been an easy team for everyone to beat, but they also have not got a point since the start of this encounter. They currently sit 5th in the South standings with 0 points from 8 matches played.
Sussex XI
Danny Briggs, Henry Crocombe, Tymal Mills, Bradley Currie, John Simpson, Danny Lamb, Tom Clark, James Coles, Jack Leaning, Tom Alsop, Daniel Hughes.
Essex Preview
Essex lost by seven runs in their last game against Surrey, putting them on a three-game losing streak. Essex have found it so hard to win in their recent games, suffering defeats in their last three, losing to Nottinghamshire by 52 runs, Northamptonshire by 130 runs, and Surrey by seven runs. Not only that, they have been so poor that they have not earned any points in this encounter. They sit 4th in the South, with 0 points from 8 matches.
Essex XI
Charlie Bennett, Luc Benkenstein, Matt Critchley, Michael Pepper, Noah Thain, Paul Walter, Shane Snater, Simon Fernandes, Simon Harmer, Wiaan Mulder, Zaman Akhter.
Sussex vs Essex Prediction
Both teams have been in poor form, losing their last three games each. However, I’m still backing Essex to win here because they have dominated Sussex in their head-to-head matches, having won four of their last five. So, I think they should find a way to record a win in this game. My prediction is that Essex will win, with 1xBet offering odds of 1.91.
