Sussex Sharks v Hawks Vitality Blast Sunday 3rd July (6:30pm Start) Hove
Hampshire Hawks’ final Vitality Blast group match will be an ‘el clasicoast’ clash with Sussex Sharks at Hove.
The reverse fixture took place in early June at The Ageas Bowl as the Hawks picked up their first win of the competition.
James Vince’s side have already qualified for the quarter final stage after defeating Gloucestershire last time out, meanwhile the Sharks currently sit in seventh and have only won one of their last eight matches – against South Group leaders Surrey.
Hampshire Squad
The Hawks have named an unchanged 15-player squad from the match against Gloucestershire on Friday night.
James Fuller continued his fine form with a match winning knock of 45 from 24 balls, alongside a crucial 32 from Joe Weatherley.
