Players who can make a difference (LANCASHIRE)
1. Phil Salt
Phil Salt was unavailable for much of the group stages with international duty but will be on hand to open for Lancs in this match. A batter whose powerful hitting talents are well-known.
2. Liam Livingstone
Another powerful batter who is returning to the Lancs camp, Livingstone’s death overs hitting and part-time spin are both extremely valuable assets when he is in the groove.
TEAMS HEAD TO HEAD RECORD
| MATCHES | SUSSEX WON | LANCASHIRE WON | NO RESULT |
| 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 |
VENUE AND PITCH
The County Ground at Hove will be hosting this quarterfinal contest. Hove has been a venue which has seen plenty of runs, and bowlers won’t enjoy these conditions too much. Teams have preferred to chase at this venue, but it has been a better ground for teams batting first this season. The average first innings score is a mighty 193.
MATCH PREDICTION
Sussex are the form team on paper with better performers in the group stages, but Lancashire will be bolstered by the return of their powerful star hitters. Sussex will have the advantage of playing at home, but the likes of Salt could take the match away on a run-friendly pitch such as this one. Sussex’s strong team unit makes them very slight favourites by 60%.
