The County Ground in Hove will host Match 70 of the Vitality T20 Blast 2023 where Sussex will square off against Surrey on Friday, June 9, in a South Group fixture.
Sussex are reeling in the bottom half of the T20 Blast 2023 points table, having played seven games so far and managing to win only two of those. However, they registered their second win in their previous outing when they beat Middlesex in a thriller of a contest.
Shadab Khan scored a quickfire 59 off 30 balls which helped Sussex post 181 on the board for the loss of eight wickets. The bowlers then picked up five wickets and held their nerves in at the fag end of the match to help them prevail by four runs.
Sussex will be eager to carry forward the winning momentum on Friday.
Surrey, meanwhile, have had a contrasting journey in the Vitality T20 Blast 2023 so far. They have played seven games and won five of those to find themselves in second place in the points table. They defeated Glamorgan comprehensively in their next game.
Surrey batted first and posted a mammoth 236 on the board, thanks to a scintillating unbeaten ton from Laurie Evans (118* off 60 balls). The bowlers then stepped up and backed up their batters to restrict Glamorgan to 171/8 to win the game by 65 runs.
Surrey will look to grab their third win on the trot on Friday against Sussex.
