Sizzling Fizz in action again as Sussex face Surrey

After making a debut in the English county cricket last night (Thursday, July 21) that most other cricketers can only dream of in their sleep, Bangladesh pace sensation Mustafizur Rahman will once again be in action in the NatWest T20 Blast tonight, as his team Sussex Sharks are set to face Surrey at the Kia Oval.

Unlike the previous match of Sussex that kicked off at 7.00pm local time, this contest between them and Surrey will commence half an hour earlier, at 6.30pm local time, 11.30pm BdST. No live TV or online streaming coverage available for this match.

Surrey will be looking to bounce back from their five-wicket defeat against Middlesex yesterday.

On the other hand, the Sussex Sharks arrive at the Kia Oval having won their last game quite convincingly against Essex Eagles by a margin of 24 runs.

In their last game against the Eagles, the Sharks were in a tricky position despite making a grand total of 200 for five batting first.

Chasing 201 to win, Essex were ahead of Sussex’s comparative totals until the last four overs, as Mustafizur Rahman impressed his new club with a match-sealing display of four for 23 to rip apart the Eagles line-up.
