Glamorgan are sitting in fifth place currently with three wins and two losses. They are coming off a convincing 40-run win over Essex, which puts them in good stead as they move ahead in the competition.
Captain Kiran Carlson has led the charge with the bat, scoring 167 runs in five innings at an average of 33.40 and a strike rate of 146.49. William Smale has provided him company at the top, collecting 159 runs in five innings at an average of 31.80 and a strike rate of 129.26.
Asa Tribe and Daniel Douthwaite have chipped in with vital contributions as well, and give this batting unit some stability.
In the bowling department, Mason Crane has been the standout with 10 wickets in five matches at an economy of 7.94. Douthwaite and Ben Kellaway have also been excellent, taking nine and seven wickets, respectively. This bowling unit has done a pretty solid job so far, but will face a challenge against a stronger unit like Sussex.

Sussex Sharks are sitting in third place with three wins and one loss. They would consider themselves fortunate as they were struggling at 23-3 while chasing a target of 178 against Essex in their previous clash. Unfortunately, rain prevented any further game from being possible, and Sussex walked away with two points.
The batting unit has been decent so far. James Coles tops their batting charts with 201 runs in five innings at an average of 67 and a strike rate of 164.75.
The other standout is Tom Alsop, who has plundered 157 runs in five matches at an average of 39.25 and a strike rate of 160.20.
John Simpson is another crucial member of this batting lineup, having scored 114 runs in five matches.
Captain Tymal Mills and Nathan McAndrew have been the stars of Sussex’s bowling attack, taking 15 wickets between them. Ollie Robinson has also looked steady, taking six wickets at 7.35 an over.

Early movement with the new ball can trouble openers at Sophia Gardens, especially under cloud cover. Batting gets easier once the ball softens, but timing is still important due to the slower surface. Spinners often find grip, particularly in the middle overs, and cutters work well for seamers.
The weather in Cardiff will be mostly cloudy today with chances of a couple of showers later in the day, which could impact the game.

Average TurnThe average score batting first at Sophia Gardens is 160. Two matches have been played here in the T20 Blast 2025, where the team batting first has scored 149-8 and 183-8, resulting in a loss and a win, respectively. Looking at these numbers, the team batting first in this match would eye a target of around 180 to keep themselves in the game.
With the weather expected to be cloudy, both teams would look to field first here to make some early inroads and restrict the opposition to a below-par score.
There’s not much separating Glamorgan and Sussex at this point. Both have looked decent, although Glamorgan looks just slightly ahead in of form. This could go either way, but Glamorgan’s confidence from their previous win just gives them a 55-45 edge in this clash.
Back Glamorgan as the winners of this match.
