Overview
- Hampshire posted 383-9 at the County Ground, Hove, powered by a 225-run opening partnership between Ben Mayes and Ali Orr that set the platform for the late charge.
- Toby Albert produced six sixes off six successive deliveries across two overs, finishing 86 off 37 balls with the sequence made up of two sixes off Nantes Oosthuizen and four off Ollie Kirtley.
- Albert’s 37-ball 86 included the fastest 50-plus score in the One-Day Cup 2026 and raised his tournament total to 221 runs from three matches.
- Sussex fought back in the chase with Charlie Tear’s 111 but were bowled out for 332, handing Hampshire a 51-run victory and marking Sussex’s sixth defeat in seven Cup games.
- Hampshire’s 383-9 is the county’s second-highest List A total and equals the top team scores in this One-Day Cup season, and a win against Derbyshire on August 11 will confirm their quarter-final place.
