Sophia Gardens

Glamorgan will take on Sussex in their eighth match of the County Championship Division Two 2023 season at the Sophia Gardens, Cardiff Sunday, June 25.

Glamorgan finished third in Division Two last season and just missed out on promotion to Division One. Sussex had finished seventh in the County Championship Division Two in the 2022 season.

Glamorgan vs Sussex Chance of Winning

Glamorgan are almost equal or may be a bit stronger when it comes to the batting prowess of the team, however, they fall a lot behind Sussex when it comes to the comparison of bowling prowess between the two teams.

On side, Glamorgan rely heavily on Timm van der Gugten and Michael Nesser, Sussex have the likes of Aristides Karvelas (17), Nathan McAndrew (18), Henry Crocombe (14) and Fynn Hudson-Prentice (17).

Further, the presence of Cheteshwar Pujara (545), Tom Aslop (518), James Coles (346), Olie Carter (348), Tom Haines (307) and Fynn Hudson-Prentice (287) in the batting department give Sussex even more advantage in the match.

Glamorgan would miss the services of Marnus Labucshagne who is playing in the Ashes 2023 for Australia. The same would make Glamorgan batting line-up weak. Only three more batters from the team have scored over 300 runs this season. These batters will be up against a very good bowling unit.

Taking in account all the aforementioned facts, Sussex are clearly the favourites to beat Glamorgan.

Glamorgan chances of winning - 41%

Sussex chances of winning - 59%

Glamorgan vs Sussex Betting Odds

Sussex to score over 300 runs in 1st innings

The Sussex unit has been in a blazing form. The last six innings have seen them score 348, 447/7, 481, 1/0, 430 and 373 runs. The Glamorgan bowling attack has mostly relied upon Timm van der Gugten and Michael Nesser and the Sussex batter would look to take advantage of the fact. Two Sussex batters have scored over 500 runs, while three have scored over 300 runs. There is a very high chance of Sussex scoring over 300 runs in the first innings of their upcoming match.

Glamorgan vs Sussex Top Team Batsmen

Kiran Carlson to be Glamorgan’s top batter

Kiran Carlson is the leading run-scorer for Glamorgan with 668 runs under his belt at an average of 55.66. He has already slammed four hundreds. He has played a total of 73 first-class matches and scored 3967 runs at an average of 33.61. He has 11 hundreds and 15 fifties to his name in the format.

Tom Aslop to be Sussex's top batter

Tom Aslop will have a big role to play for Sussex in the upcoming match. It's uncertain if Cheteshwar Pujara will turn up for the squad. He is the second-highest run-scorer for his team currently. Aslop has scored 518 runs in seven matches at an average of 64.75. Two hundreds and two fifties have come off his bat so far.

Glamorgan vs Sussex Top Team Bowlers

Timm van der Gugten to be Glamorgan’s top bowler

Nathan McAndrew to be Sussex's top bowler

The Australian pacer is the second-leading wicket-taker for his side. He has picked 18 wickets in four matches at an average of 24.72. The four matches have seen him pick two five-wicket hauls. The 29-year-old missed a few matches due to the arrival of Steve Smith. Overall, McAndrew has played 31 first-class matches and picked 104 wickets at an average of 30.73.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Sussex

Sussex are favourites to beat Glamorgan who will be without their star batter Marnus Labucshagne, who scored 502 runs in five matches for them at an average of 71.71. Only three batters apart from him have crossed the 300-run mark for Glamorgan this year. However, the team has scored handy runs in almost each of their outings. The major concern for Glamorgan is their bowling unit which leaked 630 runs in their last outing against Durham. In the match prior to it, Glamorgan bowlers leaked 481 runs against Sussex - their opposition in the next match. However, they were saved from a defeat by a hundred from Labuschagne and Kiran Carlson.

The same would not be the case this time around and Sussex's bowling unit would also be more powerful this time around. The likes of Nathan McAndrew (18) and Henry Crocombe (14) did not play against Glamorgan in the previous match. Despite the absence Glamorgan were bundled out for 123 in the first innings.

Glamorgan to win - 2.08 (Parimatch)

Sussex to win - 1.70 (Parimatch)
