County Ground

Sussex will take on Glamorgan in their sixth match of the County Championship Division Two 2023 season at County Ground, Hove from Thursday, May 18.

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

Sussex vs Glamorgan Chance of Winning

Second-placed Sussex have twice made opposition to follow on but have failed to win the match. It makes it clear that the side has a below-average bowling unit. Ollie Robinson has been picked for the one-off Test against Ireland and it's almost certain that he will not turn up for the match. The batting unit has again relied heavily on the brilliance of Cheteshwar Pujara. Tom Aslop and Oli Carter are the only two major contributors. One these batters get out cheaply, Sussex can find themselves in a lot of problem,

Glamorgan, on the other hand, will enter the match high on confidence after a 10-wicket win over Worcestershire. Five Glamorgan batters have scored over 200 runs in comparison to only three from Sussex. The batting unit has shared the responsibility.

Glamorgan are placed fourth and are also unbeaten. The win in their last match came as a result of the support from the bowling unit as well. Michael Nesser picked four wickets in the first innings, while Timm Van Der Guten picked a five-wicket haul in the second.

Glamorgan might just have cracked the code and would aim for their second successive win in the upcoming match.

Sussex vs Glamorgan Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2023

Team winning a match will be awarded 12 points in the County Championship 2023. In the case of a draw five points instead of eight will be awarded this year.

Sussex will have to work on their bowling unit and increase their batting depth. Pujara could miss a few games because of the WTC final next month and that could hurt them badly. They are placed second in the 8-team table currently but can slip down.

Glamorgan are unbeaten and look to have cracked the code to win as well. However, a little more flair in the bowling department would see them do wonders. The only problem ahead of them is that Labuschagne would most likely miss all the matches in June and July.

Sussex vs Glamorgan Betting Odds

Glamorgan to win

High on confidence, Glamorgan are the favourites to win their upcoming match against Sussex who have just failed to crack the code to win matches. They have settled for draws despite forcing their opposition to follow on two times in five matches.

The bowling unit lacks sheen and the fact that Ollie Robinson will not turn up after being picked for the Ireland Test has added to their woes. The Batting unit has only three batters scoring runs for them. They rely heavily on Pujara.

On the flip side, Sussex batters have performed as a unit. Labuschagne is also in good form. Pacers Nesser and van der Gugten have gained with their last match-winning outing. Glamorgan would be entering the match as favourites.
