Hampshire Hawks vs Sussex Sharks prediction

The Hampshire Hawks have started their T20 Blast campaign three victories in four matches as they sit above the Kent Spitfires at the top-of-the-table on net run rate. The Hawks defeated Middlesex by eight wickets at Lord’s on Sunday afternoon.

The Sussex Sharks come into this one on the back of a 31-run loss to the aforementioned Middlesex in their most recent outing as the Sharks sit rock-bottom with two defeats in three matches.

Sussex are focused on red-ball stuff this season, while Hampshire are roles reversed and, even with rain around, even a shortened a game should suit the hosts here.
