Glamorgan continue their T20 campaign with a visit to Hove to meet the Sussex Sharks on Sunday, 4 June with the match starting at 1430 (writes Andrew Hignell).
Friday evening’s thrilling victory over the Kent Spitfires at Cardiff has lifted Glamorgan into third place in the table. With the 1st XI having won three of their four Blast games so far, and the 2nd XI having won all seven of their matches as they seek to defend their T20 crown, the mood is buoyant in the Welsh county’s camp as they head to the South Coast to meet the Sharks who currently are languishing in eighth place in the table, besides meeting Hampshire Hawks on Saturday evening at The Ageas Bowl.
As the list below shows, the Welsh county won on their most recent visit to Hove for a T20 match. The seven-wicket victory last summer was set up by an unbeaten 63 from Sam Northeast plus a typically assertive 31 from Marnus Labuschagne.
10 July 2015 at Hove - Sussex won by 8 wickets

It was also Glamorgan’s first-ever win in T20 cricket at the ground, with their only other success on Sussex soil coming at Arundel in 2017 when Colin Ingram completed a 46-ball hundred during a third wicket stand of 130 with Jacques Rudolph which laid the foundations of an 18-run victory.
