In the match between the third and fourth placed sides, fourth placed Surrey are expected to come on top at the Edgbaston in Birmingham. A very solid batting unit accompanied with a strong bowling department will make the game difficult even for a strong side like Warwickshire.
Both the sides played a draw game each to start with before registering wins in the second. However, a close look at the two teams will show that Surrey have a stronger and a much more reliable batting unit.
The side has the likes of Ben Foakes, Ollie Pope, Dom Sibley and Rory Burns in the line-up. The bowling group also has the likes of Sean Abbott, Kemar Roach and Daniel Worrall featuring in it.
Warwickshire, on the other hand, also have a decent batting group but it relies heavily on Sam Hain and Rob Yates. The bowling department looks one of the best for now. Chris Woakes, Chris Rushworth, Hasan Ali and Oliver Hannon-Dalby have also picked wickets and looked good.
The batting unit of Surrey improves the overall composition of the team and puts them ahead of Warwickshire. A mouth-watering contest is on cards for sure.
