Sussex Sharks vs Surrey Chance of Winning

Sussex Sharks head into this contest on the back of a thrilling last-ball win over Gloucestershire, which also ended their miserable four-game losing streak. Against Gloucestershire, bowling first, Sussex conceded 185/5. All their bowlers were taken to the cleaners except Henry Crocombe, who bowled an economical spell, going at 8 runs per over and picking up three key wickets that stemmed the run flow. James Coles (62 runs) and Tom Alsop (55 runs) stitched a 106-run partnership for the fourth wicket after an early top-order collapse. Danny Lamb came out in the last over and flashed hard at every ball, taking the Sharks over the line with a sweet 5-ball, 16-run cameo.

Surrey are coming off a narrow 8-run victory over Middlesex in the Lord's derby a couple of nights ago. Batting first, Surrey posted a good total of 189/9. Will Jacks top-scored with 52 runs in 36 balls, while Tom Curran played a game-changing knock towards the end, scoring 47 vital runs in 22 balls. Dan Lawrence (24 runs) and Ryan Patel (23 runs) also contributed with the bat. Defending the total, Surrey had early jitters when Middlesex were scoring at 10 runs per over in the first six overs. However, Surrey managed to hang on to the game until the very last. Chris Jordan, with all his experience, bowled superbly in the death overs, finishing with figures of 2/28. It is a crucial game for Surrey, as a win here will almost secure them a home quarter-final fixture and also a chance to finish the group stage at the top.

Based on the analysis and form of both teams, Surrey has a better chance of winning this contest. However, it is a must-win game for Sussex Sharks, as a loss here would mean the end of the season for them. If you go by the odds, Surrey are the clear favorites, which is a no-brainer.
