Essex vs Sussex Sharks prediction
Unsurprisingly, Essex couldn’t back up their shock win over Surrey as they were battered away at Somerset in midweek. They’ve lost nine of 11 in this season’s Blast and this fixture serves as the ideal opportunity for Sussex Sharks to get themselves back to winning ways following consecutive home defeats.
Essex more than matched Sussex in their last meeting and you could argue that rain robbed them of victory at Hove. But Chelmsford has been a pit of misery for the Eagles in 2025 and Sussex are well-placed to pile on the pain for Simon Harmer’s side. Expect the Sharks to put their sixth group stage win on the board here.
