Glamorgan vs Sussex Prediction & Betting Tips 2022
With five wins and six defeats, Glamorgan are placed sixth on the points table with an NRR of -0.867. They won four of their first five matches but lost five in their previous six encounters to find themselves in the middle of the South Group. Skipper Kiran Carlson, who hit a crafty 45-ball 71 against Somerset in their last match, requires able support from his teammates to turn the tide in their favour.
Sussex, on the other hand, had a poor start in the campaign, having lost five of their first six encounters. Then they staged a spirited comeback, winning two of their next three outings before losing to Kent by six wickets. Familiar faces such as Ravi Bopara, Tom Alsop, George Garton, and Tymal Mills must step up to change their fortunes, which will help them to languish from the bottom of the points table.
Glamorgan vs Sussex Match Toss Prediction
In Sussex’s three victories in T20 Blast 2023 (before the Gloucestershire match), two came while batting first. On the other hand, out of five Glamorgan wins, three came while batting second. Still, keeping this mind that teams prefer chasing rather than batting, especially when they are low in confidence after many defeats, expect the skipper who win the toss, will opt to field first.

Glamorgan vs Sussex Betting Odds
Chris Cooke to score more than 21.5 runs
Cooke was the Player of the Match when Glamorgan met Sussex earlier this month. His 28-ball 50 was clinical for his side to post 219/5 batting first. Apart from his last outing, the wicket-keeper batsman managed to score 25+ runs in each of his last four T20s, which indicates that he has been consistent for a while. Besides, he averages 24.46 in T20s after 131 innings, having tallied 2569 runs at a strike rate of 139.84. Therefore, watching him to score 22 or more runs is not a wild thing to expect, and the punters should keep their faith in him to reap rewards.
Glamorgan vs Sussex Top Team Batsmen
Sam Northeast to be Glamorgan’s top batter
Sam Northeast had an average of 51 last year in the competition, having tallied 510 runs in 13 innings at a strike rate of 125.30. However, the middle-order batsman has not had the best of the seasons this year, as 269 runs after 11 innings are not much appealing as the previous campaign. Still, keeping in mind that Northeast is one of the most dependable batsmen for Glamorgan over the years, and his approach to anchor the innings always increases the chances to be the top scorer of the match, bank upon him to make a substantial impact against Sussex. Also, not to forget, he scored a 27-ball 32 against Sussex in the previous meeting against the opposition.
Tom Alsop to be Sussex’s top batter
Having scored 174 runs in nine outings in T20 Blast 2023 before the Gloucestershire fixture, Tom Alsop is not having a great campaign this year. However, he made his mark last year, with a tally of 318 runs from 10 matches at an average of over 35 and a strike rate of 152.88 showed his calibre. Despite having a poor season with the bat, the 27-year-old wicket-keeper batter, especially because he hit a 42-ball 58 against the same opposition last time, can be a reliable batting option among his teammates.
Glamorgan vs Sussex Top Team Bowlers
Jamie McIlroy to be Glamorgan’s top bowler
Jamie Mcllroy has picked up 21 wickets in 13 T20s at an average of 21.14, and his record of taking 11 wickets in the last seven matches in the format suggests he has been in an impeccable form. The last time when these two sides met, the left-arm pacer took 3/28 to help his side secure a resounding victory. Even his best match figures of 4/28 came in recent times only, against Essex on June 16. Therefore, there is no doubt that he can be the man who can be trustworthy in the Glamorgan bowling attack.
Tymal Mills to be Sussex’s top bowler
Tyamal Mills returned 2/36 against Glamorgan when the two sides last went up against each other on June 4. A tally of 214 wickets in 181 T20s that too at an average of 23.63 speak volumes, and you won’t find a better experienced specialist bowler in this fixture. Moreover, before the Gloucestershire match, Mills had not had a single outing in his last 10 matches where he did not have a wicket at least. So, conserving his consistency, bank upon him to yield dividends.
