Pre-Match Analysis:

Middlesex failed totally as a side in the last edition where they managed to win only 4 of their 14 matches played and finished 2nd from the bottom in the South Group standings. Except for minor changes, the side almost remains the same from the last season. Stephen Eskinazi will continue to captain the side. Top performers from the last edition, Joe Cracknell, Max Holden, and Martin Andersson all keep their spots in the squad. Pieter Malan will join as their overseas recruit. They have got a good balance and aiming to secure their 1st win at home.

Surrey wasn’t convincing at all in the last edition as they finished 7th in the South Group standings with only 4 wins under their belt. With a lot of expectations on the players, they have named a strong 15-man squad led by all-rounder Sam Curran which also features Overseas players Sean Abbott and Sunil Narine. Will Jacks has returned to the side after completely recovering from the injury. England Internationals Jason Roy, Tom Curran, and Jamie Overton have a lot to prove themselves.
