Tom Alsop looked in great touch with the bat in the previous game against Kent and he played a match-winning inning of a 30-ball 65 to help his side to a good score. The 26-year-old has the capabilities of finishing with a bang in the final overs and he will be looking to continue his exquisite touch from the previous game.
