Vitality T20 Blast 2023, Glamorgan vs Sussex: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details
Glamorgan and Sussex are set to take each other on in the upcoming 2023 Vitality T20 Blast edition on June 20 at 11 PM IST. This South Group fixture that will be played at the historic Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester.
Glamorgan have a lot of repair work to do as they head into this fixture after suffering two colossal defeats. They are currently ranked sixth in the Vitality T20 Blast points table and have only won five out of their 11 matches.
Their win-loss record has negatively affected their net run-rate (NRR), which is down to -0.867, as well.
Sussex, meanwhile, have also had some terrible games and find themselves in a comparatively worse position than Glamorgan. They are currently ranked seventh in the points table with a shambolic NRR of -1.058.
Their win in the preceding fixture against Gloucestershire will certainly give them some confidence as they prepare to take on Glamorgan in this upcoming fixture. However, the two teams' track records suggest that a close match that could go either way is in the offing.

Glamorgan vs Sussex Pitch Report
Old Trafford is not a high-scoring venue and with dark overhead conditions, quick bowlers will certainly fancy their chances of bowling on this track.
Past statistics suggest that teams have posted a score below 150 on 17 occasions. Furthermore, teams that have batted first have won more games (31) as opposed to those batting second (22).
This is a clear indication that the surface will get a lot harder to bat on once the game progresses. The team that wins the toss should ideally opt to bat first on this deck and get enough runs on the board to hold an early advantage in this contest.
Glamorgan vs Sussex Weather Report
Light to moderate showers are predicted on the matchday, with the chances of rain up to 50% at the moment. The weather will remain gloomy and dark for the most part with temperatures expected to fluctuate between 15 and 22 degrees Celsius.
