Sussex Sharks vs Lancashire

The Metro Bank One-Day Cup returns to Hove tomorrow, as Sussex Sharks take on Lancashire in the first day/night One Day Cup match at The 1st Central County Ground in over six years.

The Sharks will be looking to bounce back from their recent defeat against Middlesex at Lord's. Despite half-centuries for Jack Carson and Fynn Hudson-Prentice, Sussex's total of 255/9 wasn't enough, as the home side chased it down with more than four overs to spare.

As we approach the halfway point in the group stage, the Sharks are 7th in Group B, but just four points (one win) off the 3rd qualifying spot.

Team News

Grant Flower has named a 14-player squad for the clash with Lancashire tomorrow.

Carson, Carter, Clark, Crocombe, Foreman, Haines, Hudson-Prentice, Hunt, Ibrahim, Karvelas, Lamb, Lenham, Simpson (c), Tear.

Sean Hunt has been named in the squad and could make his return to the playing XI having missed the majority of the season through injury. His last appearance came in Sussex's home opener in the County Championship against Somerset, where he took nine wickets as Sussex wrapped up their first victory in Division One in a decade.

Charlie Tear is the other to return to the squad. He featured in the opening game of the competition for Sussex but has missed out on a place in the XI in the two most recent matches.

The Opposition

After one win, one defeat and one abandonment, Lancashire sit two points ahead of Sussex Sharks after 3 games. Their most recent outing was a short trip to York against rivals Yorkshire where the White Rose chased down their target of 295 with just over three overs to spare.

Lancashire's single win in the competition came on their travels at Taunton, where Ollie Sutton and Tom Bailey held their nerve in a nail-biting run chase, to secure a two-wicket victory.
