Sussex Sharks vs Middlesex prediction

The Sussex Sharks have started their 2026 T20 Blast campaign with a six-wicket victory against the Essex Eagles, chasing 192 down in just 16 overs at Chelmsford before then succumbing to a seven-wicket loss against the Kent Spitfires, having scored 197-6.

Of teams to play 60 games of T20 cricket, Middlesex have the worst win rate in the history of the format across the world. They have shown that again this season with defeats to the aforementioned Kent and then against Surrey thus far.

Middlesex have and do lack quality in this format of the game and the Sussex Sharks will be confident of getting back to winning ways down in Hove.
