Talking about Hampshire, after being fouled by the rain against Sussex, Hampshire lost their second game narrowly by two wickets to Kent at the Rose Bowl.

Although Rashid Khan failed to impress his fans in the World Cup, he still is the best leg spinner in the t20 format. You can’t afford to miss him.

Fantasy picks from Hamshire:
Hampshire captain James Vince scored a 35-ball 51 in the opening game to lead their batting.
The spinning all-rounder Liam Dawson took 2-25 from his four overs in the first game of this tournament. He can be again impactful.
Rilee Rossouw finished as the top run-scorer in the Bangladesh Premier League with 558 from 14 matches and even helped Quetta Gladiators to Pakistan Super League success.
