Three times finalist, Surrey would not be satisfied with their performance at all. They could only manage a single win out of the five matches they have played, and this drags them to the second last position on the South Group points table.
The humiliating defeat in their very first game against Gloucestershire is the reason for further outcomes. Gloucestershire itself crushed their confidence in the opening match. Later they lost to Sussex, Middlesex, and Glamorgan and the only win they could achieve was against Essex.
On the other hand, the reigning champions, Hampshire started their season with a fabulous win against Kent. They have won four matches out of five and three wins were at home, against Glamorgan, Gloucestershire, and Middlesex. The only game they lost was against Essex.
Currently, they are sitting at the 2nd spot on the points table with 8 points in their pockets, whereas Surrey could only collect 2 points so far in this season.
