Middlesex vs Surrey Match Analysis
Although the team at the bottom of the standings is playing the team in second place, Surrey, who are one point behind the leaders and still have a game in hand, may very well end up playing the team at the top. The London derby was once named for this match, but in recent seasons, Surrey’s superior T20 team has overshadowed Middlesex, who appear to be content to remain at the bottom of the South Group.
Having said that, Middlesex did win by 7 wickets with 4 balls left in June of last year, so if the hosts have a few early mishaps in this game, they might win and continue.
Middlesex vs Surrey Team Preview & Squads
Middlesex
The final game for Middlesex resulted in a no-result, but many would argue that they got away with it because they were stranded on 113/8 when the rain started. Martin Andersson, an all-round bowler who has been used this season as a “Pinch Hitter” at the top of the order, was the lone six-hitter for Middlesex, but he could only manage one! Joe Cracknell, Max Holden, Ryan Higgins, and skipper Stephen Eskinazi are all anticipated to score runs in this contest.
Tom Helm, Henry Brookes, and Noah Cornwell are probably the most dangerous players for the hosts when they have the ball.
Middlesex Squads
Middlesex
Stephen Eskinazi (c), Jack Davies (wk), Joe Cracknell, Ryan Higgins, Joshua De Caires, Luke Hollman, Tom Helm, Max Holden, Henry Brookes, Martin Andersson, Noah Cornwell
Surrey
Surrey consistently produces a strong team of players of international caliber, and despite the T20 World Cup having advanced to the Super Eights stage, a formidable team is expected to be chosen. Laurie Evans, Ollie Pope, and Dan Lawrence are all inherently aggressive players, and Evans is coming into this match in great form after hitting two sixes and five fours in the previous meeting.
There is equal quality with the ball, and in the most recent game, every member of the bowling attack—Spencer Johnson, Gus Atkinson, Sean Abbott, Tom Curran, and Dan Lawrence—took at least one wicket.

Middlesex vs Surrey outfield report
Lord’s Cricket Ground, Lord’s
Given that the game is expected to get increasingly steamy as it goes on, we anticipate that both captains will want to field first in this Lord’s match. In North London, cloudy conditions are predicted for the entire evening, with a predicted temperature drop from 19 to 15. Nonetheless, there shouldn’t be any rain or match disruptions.
Strong batting wickets are still being produced at Lord’s, and on Thursday night in North London, we may anticipate more of the same. The fast bowlers should have the better of the conditions, although there will be some turn for the spinners. A maximum of 165 will be the par total.
