The 49th match of Vitality T20 Blast 2022 is scheduled to play between Glamorgan and Surrey on Sunday, 5th June 2022 at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff.

The batting order of Glamorgan is strong and experienced and is led by the skipper, D Lloyd, and Sam Northeast. They had provided a good opening start in almost each and every match. Labuschagne, Kiran Carlson, and Edward Byrom are handling the middle batting order while C Cooke, Daniel Douthwaite, and James Weighell are handling the lower batting order. Edward Byrom was the most successful batter in the previous match with 37 runs to his name. He faced 26 balls and smashed four boundaries and two huge sixes during his inning. D Lloyd also performed well and scored 31 runs on just 20 balls with the help of three boundaries and one huge six. Kiran Carlson scored 28 runs while Daniel Douthwaite remained not out after scoring 23 runs on just 11 balls. He smashed three huge sixes during his inning.

The most recent match win of Surrey came against Kent with a margin of 32 runs even having a low total on the board. We are not saying the batting order of Surrey is weak but they could manage to score just 159 runs in 20 overs. Jason Roy and Will Jacks are opening the batting inning with Sam Curran, Laurie Evans, and Sunil Narine in the middle order, and Jordan Clark and J Overton are taking care of the lower batting order. Sam Curran was the highest run-scorer who scored 43 runs in 34 balls with the help of five boundaries. J Overton was the other batter who performed well with the bat and scored 27 runs while Sunil Narine scored 25 runs.
