THE FORECAST
The Northamptonshire draw against Group 3 leaders Lancashire saw a total of 34.3 overs played over all four days as the rain decimated the final round of the County Championship games. After six games, Northants have had two wins, two draws and two losses. So they have to get back to Sussex again with a 22 point gap between them and runner-up Yorkshire traveling to Lancashire for the Roses match.
In contrast, Sussex has only won one of its six county championship games, and the bowling unit is weakened significantly for that encounter after fast-paced bowlers Jofra Archer and Ollie Robinson were called up for the Test in England. Northamptonshire could take advantage of this and should take advantage of the bat at Hove by getting a strong score. If the Northamptonshire bowling unit, led by Ben Sanderson and Wayne Parnell, can hit their belts and get the ball in the right places, an away win is on the cards in that case.
