Sussex vs Hampshire Pitch Report
The Country Cricket Ground is evenly poised favoring both the batters and the bowlers. But with the help of the breeze and a slight slope, bowlers may extract a significant amount of lateral movement. This can be enough to keep the batsmen on their toes for the most part.
The average first innings score on this venue is 169 and the teams batting first have emerged victorious nearly the same number of times as opposed to teams batting second. Hence, toss will not play a crucial role and the teams can play according to their own strategy.
Sussex vs Hampshire Weather Report
The weather at Hove will be warm and pleasant for the most part with temperatures ranging between 24 C and 13 C. The probability of any imminent shower is almost negligible, however, we may see wind speed clocking up to as high as 13 km/hr.
