Pre-Match Analysis:

Lancashire has secured their 16th Quarter-Final berth in the T20 Blast since its inception in 2003. When things didn’t go their way in the initial stages this season, they regrouped and played like warriors in the 2nd half to finish 2nd in the North Group standings with 17 points. The arrival of England’s white-ball skipper Jos Buttler inspired them to play better cricket. The overseas all-rounder Daryl Mitchell has been instrumental in their success with 409 runs and 12 wickets to his name. There is no dearth when it comes to firepower as they have big strikers in their Arsenal with the likes of Liam Livingstone, Jos Buttler, Daryl Mitchell, and Phil Salt. Luke Wood stands as their best bowler with 17 scalps. They are going with an unchanged squad from their previous win over Northamptonshire.

Despite batting so well, Surrey couldn’t win matches at the late end of the group stages as their bowlers leaked runs way too easily. They had an opportunity of finishing 2nd in the North Group however 4 losses from their last 5 matches pushed them to the 3rd spot with 16 points and missed out on hosting a home Quarter-Final. They are an all-round heavy side which allows them to experiment a lot across the departments. Will Jacks, Laurie Evans, Sam Curran, and Sunil Narine are their best performers in this T20 Blast.
