The Welsh county have won four of their nineT20 matches against the Sharks at Cardiff, including the game last summer when Glamorgan won by four wickets after Colin Ingram had made 57 and Michael Neser had claimed 3/24.
As the list below shows of recent matches between the two teams at Sophia Gardens, the Sharks had been victorious on their previous three visits to Glamorgan’s headquarters, including the game in 2021 when an opening stand of 144 between Luke Wright and Phil Salt laid the foundation for a 33-run victory before teenage leg-spinner Archie Lenham bagged four wickets.
21 June 2015 - Sussex won by 10 wickets
7 July 2016 - Glamorgan won by 48 runs
21 July 2017 - No Result
8 July 2018 - Sussex won by 8 wickets
26 Aug 2019 - Sussex won by 7 wickets
2 July 2021 - Sussex won by 33 runs
14 June 2022 - Glamorgan won by 4 wickets
Glamorgan won in 2016 after David Lloyd had struck a typically belligerent 81 before Timm van der Gugten claimed 4/17. This was in stark contrast to the game in 2015 when the Sharks completed a home and away double over the Welsh side, winning by ten wickets at Cardiff and by nine wickets at Hove.
However, the Welsh county were to the fore in 2014 at Cardiff when Chris Cooke made a match-winning contribution by posting a forthright half-century to see Glamorgan to a thrilling last-ball victory as West Indian Darren Sammy swatted the winning runs from the final delivery.
