T20 Blast 2020 - SUS vs SUR Fantasy Preview

After a long wait for the 202 Vitality Blast to kick off, it was a rather depressing day of action on the opening day with 6 of the 7 scheduled games being washed out due to rain. Just one match was completed wherein the team batting first emerged victorious. Given these England pitches, anything below 150-160 isn’t going to be a good score and let’s keep in mind over reductions as well, given the bad weather.

That means you should select more of top order batsmen for this South Group game as Sussex plays Surrey in Match 8 of the 2020 T20 Blast tournament, because of the chances of reduced overs wherein only top order batsmen will come into play.

Numbers

In last 5 T20 Blast games head to head, Surrey leads 3-0.
Philip Salt – 406 runs in 14 games in Vitality Blast 2019.

Sussex Sharks

Reece Topley was the team’s leading wicket-taker in the 2019 T20 Blast but he’s with the England squad right now playing Pakistan, so if you want a good bowling pick go in for Tymal Mills who was at one point considered one of the best T20 bowlers in England and has plenty of experience. With him, another person who will fit well in your SUS vs SUR fantasy team with a lot of international experience is South Africa’s David Wiese.

With the bat, the 23-year old Philip Salt is the most exciting and considering he was their top scorer last season, he’s definitely someone you should be picking today too, with 3 fifties in his last 4 FC games as well. We have Luke Wright in the squad who also nearly got 400 runs last season but if I had to choose between him and Ravi Bopara, I’d go with the latter because of the fact that he bowls too, and could be your fantasy captain or vice-captain.

Surrey

Last year’s leading wicket-taker Imran Tahir is no longer in the squad while their second best bowler Tom Curran is in the squad to play Pakistan. If we have to pick a bowler, Gareth Batty could make a good pick, someone who had 13 wickets in 13 games last year. George Garton picked 9 wickets in his last FC game this month and was a part of the MCC squad that toured Pakistan earlier this year as well!

With the bat, Aaron Finch was their leading scorer last year but isn’t available this time. However, there’s Ollie Pope and he should make your Nostragamus (Use “READSCOOPS” for Rs.100 FREE) fantasy team because there’s plenty of talent in this young man which we saw in the recent Tests against West Indies and Pakistan. With 28 wickets in his last 7 FC games, Rikki Clarke is a brilliant bowling all-rounder option.
