Lancashire Lightning vs Surrey CCC Team Preview

Lancashire Lightning

Lancashire had a fantastic run during the league stage, winning 11 of the 14 games and taking first place in the North Group. The squad experienced a winning streak in the latter stages of the competition, compiling a run of seven straight victories to advance to the quarterfinal.

With players like Jos Buttler, Liam Livingstone, Phil Salt, and Daryl Mitchell on the roster, Lancashire has one of the finest batting lineups in the competition. In its last seven games, the squad has been in strong form, winning five and losing just one. They will probably face the same team.

Surrey CCC

Surrey, on the other side, experienced hot and cold winds and finished as the fourth South Group team to qualify. In 14 games, Surrey only managed to win 8 of them. They made a respectable start to the tournament but ran out of steam as it got more competitive, dropping 4 straight games. 

Surrey has dropped four of their past five games, but it doesn’t appear that the starting lineup for the crucial quarterfinal will change. There is no shortage of players, and the team ought to start with the same starting 11.

Teams batting first have won four of the six T20 Blast games played in Manchester, but only twice have runs been pursued. The captain who wins the toss may prefer to bat first based on past experience.

On July 7, there will be a lot of cloud cover above Manchester, and rain is likely to ruin the game.  

The ball will move around a lot on this track, making it difficult for batsmen to keep their eyes on it. The first-batting team should be content with a total of 170 runs or more.
