South Group leader and runner up Sussex Sharks will come head to head against Essex Eagles at the County Ground, Hove on August 22.
Sussex have been in dominating form as they have won six and drawn one out of 8 games they have played. The only time they faced embarrassment was against Surrey where they lost the game by 25 runs. They would be eager to get back to their winning momentum.
Meanwhile, Essex has no other option but to win this match to keep their hopes alive for the quarter-finals. Four defeats and four rained-off games have left them four points on the points table.
The match is set to begin at 11:30 PM IST.
