The next game from an already stacked South Group table will be played between the Sussex Sharks and the group leaders Somerset at the County Ground in Hove. The upper half of the South Group table which comprises Somerset, Hampshire, Middlesex and Sussex are yet to lose a game this season and after this game, one team will definitely register their first defeat of the season.
Somerset after pinning the runners-up of last year Kent Spitfires in their tournament opener and Glamorgan in the following game by 264 and 2 runs respectively are leading the South Group with 4 points against their name. Meanwhile, Sussex Sharks who also have played 2 and won 2 are standing at the fourth position with 4 points against their name but are trailing Somerset on the basis of net run-rate.
Sussex Sharks wins came against Surrey in their tournament opener by 2 wickets and against Kent Spitfires by 7 wickets. So, who will register a hat-trick of wins this season, will it be Somerset or will it be the Sussex Sharks? We will get the answers tomorrow.
