Surrey CCC vs Hampshire Hawks Team Preview
Surrey CCC
After defeating Somerset on Friday night in Taunton, Surrey CCC reclaimed first place in the South Group with seven victories out of nine contests and a better net run rate than Somerset. Earlier in the competition, Surrey CCC defeated Hampshire Hawks by 6 wickets with 7 balls remaining.
This season, Surrey CCC has been a resoundingly dominant force in T20 cricket, winning four straight games, including their past three by significant margins. Despite being surrounded by gifted all-rounders, Laurie Evans, who is seasoned, has excelled at the top of the order for Surrey CCC in the competition. Sam Curran of England, who entered this match in excellent form, took 5-26 from four overs on Friday night.
Hampshire Hawks
The 2022 Vitality Blast champions enter this match in fourth place, four points behind their opponents at The Oval and just two points behind third-place Essex Eagles. In their past two games, they suffered demoralizing defeats to the deplorable Kent Spitfires and Sussex Sharks.
Hampshire Hawks fell short of their goal of 184 runs against Sussex Sharks because openers Ben McDermott and James Vince only scored a combined 10 runs. Benny Howell and Nathan Ellis are two talented and seasoned bowlers that specialize in Twenty20 cricket. Prior to suffering back-to-back losses in the competition, Hampshire Hawks appeared ready to contend for the top slots in the South Group.

Emirates Old Trafford
Â
At this stadium, teams batting second have won more matches, although defending a total is difficult. In this style, the team chasing the score has an advantage because they can control the tempo of the innings. Therefore, we think that whatever team chooses to bat first in this situation would do so without hesitation.
On June 18, there will be clouds above London, and we anticipate the movement of the ball in the opening overs.
The Vitality T20 Blast match will take place at South London’s The Oval. We anticipate a par score of at least 195 in this game because the batting surface has been excellent this season.
