Sussex vs Hampshire | Pre-Season | Match Preview

Our fourth and final pre-season fixture takes place this weekend as Hampshire make the short trip along the coast for a two-day friendly at Hove.

The sides last faced off in the County Championship in September, with the rain-interrupted match ending in a draw at Hove. Sussex won the reverse fixture in Southampton last season, with Club Captain John Simpson's magnificent century helping Sussex to a 9-wicket victory.
