Sussex have had three run chases and three wins in this season's T20 Blast; Surrey have had two run chases and also have a 100% record from three games. As they say, something's gotta give, assuming the storms don't come at the wrong time.
Like Sussex, Surrey have been in good form with the bat so far. They amassed 223 against Middlesex in their first game, a total that Middlesex got nowhere near reaching. In their second game, they impressively chased down a target of 188 at Taunton to beat Somerset by 7 wickets. Their more recent game was a closer game as they beat Glamorgan's total of 166 with 5 wickets down and ten balls to spare.
The runs have been shared around, although Jason Roy has passed 50 on two occasions. However, the most impressive innings was a score of 70 in just 24 balls from Will Jacks who hammered the Middlesex attack until he was run out. Wickets have been shared around with Sam Curran being the most effective of the bunch.
Last season, Surrey beat Sussex by 4 wickets in a close game at The Oval. Can Sussex keep up their impressive start? We are just going to have to wait and see, I guess.
