It was a disappointing end to, arguably, Sussex’s best T20 batting performance of the season as they reached a 20 over score in 13 overs before the weather intervened last night at The Oval.
The triangle of games between Kent, Surrey and Sussex, which were all curtailed by weather, may have a big influence on the final T20 table. First of all, Surrey scored a massive 250 at Canterbury before a storm moved in to save Kent. Then, Sussex were struggling at Canterbury, although fighting back, as a deluge came and last night Sussex looked on course for a winning score at The Oval until a storm hit London. Of course, we will never if these games would have ended as expected, but if Sussex fail to qualify by one point or on run rate, many will look back on last night as a turning point.
Tonight, Kent come to Hove hoping to be the fourth consecutive winners at Hove this year. A win against the third placed visitors will put Sussex level on points with Kent, but a loss will make qualification for the knock out phase difficult to say the least.
Kent were on a good run in the T20 Blast until Gloucestershire beat them by 8 wickets in their last game.
Billings, Denly and Kuhn have scored the bulk of their runs while Milne and Denly have taken the most wickets.
Every game seems to be a must win game at the moment but with six teams battling for four places, it is likely to go to the wire. Can Sussex repeat their efforts at The Oval? Or, will the Home struggles continue? We will see.
