Middlesex vs Warwickshire Chance of Winning

Middlesex are coming off a hard-fought draw against Lancashire in the last match. After opting to bat first Middlesex failed to score runs as they were bundled out for 194 runs in the first innings. Lancashire then put up a huge total on the board as Middlesex bowlers struggled to pick up wickets against the strong batting lineup of Lancashire. Trailing by 219 runs in the second innings, Middlesex had a daunting task to save the match and Joe Cracknell (33), Jack Davies (65*) and Steven Eskinazi (25*) were up to the task and managed to draw the match on day 4.

Warwickshire are coming off a nail-biting win over Northamptonshire in the last match by two wickets. After opting to bowl first Warwickshire bundled out Northamptonshire to 250 runs on the back of a magical bowling spell by Oliver Hannon-Dalby's seven-wicket haul but Warwickshire capitalized on the start and declared the innings at 147/4. Northamptonshire then declared the innings at 72/0 setting a target of 175 runs in the fourth innings. Warwickshire managed to pull off the win on day four.
