Player Performances

- John Simpson: Captain ne again deliver kiya. Century ke saath leadership bhi top level ki dikhayi.
- Fynn Hudson-Prentice: Batting mein support diya Simpson ko, aur all-round game se team ko balance diya.
- Henry Crocombe: Young pacer ne 6 wickets lekar dikhaya ki wo Sussex ke liye key bowler ban sakte hain.
Hampshire ki dikkat
Hampshire ka season already kharaab chal raha tha, aur yeh defeat ne unki problems aur highlight kar di. Batting mein consistency nahi hai, aur Carson jaise bowler ke saamne unka plan hi fail ho gaya.
Sussex ka future
Yeh win Sussex ke liye morale boost hai. Ab unka combination jam raha hai — Carson form mein hai, Simpson consistently run bana rahe hain, aur Crocombe jaise youngsters impact create kar rahe hain. Agar aise hi khelte rahe, toh season ke aage wo top contenders ban sakte hain.
Jack Carson ne Hampshire ki batting chaknachoor kar di. Sussex ne poora match ek tarfa dominate kiya — batting, bowling dono mein. Ab Hampshire ko serious rethink karna padega apni strategy ka, warna season aur bhi downhill jaa sakta hai.
