Essex vs Surrey Chances of Winning
Essex made it a hattrick of defeats in the last match against Yorkshire and further diminished their chances of advancing beyond the group stage. Essex batted first on their rival’s turf and scored 243 runs which is, by no means, a par score to defend. The top three made a minimal contribution but their innings stabilized when Luc Benkenstein and Robin Das took over and scored 68 and 67 runs, respectively. Their departure led to a collapse of their batting order and the bowlers had quite a big job to carry out. Nevertheless, they gave it their best shot by taking seven wickets but the total was not easy to defend. Despite their best effort, Essex lost by three wickets.
Surrey’s drought finally came to an end as they took on Leicestershire in the previous outing. Batting first, Surrey were able to post a formidable score of 296 and it was their best batting performance of the season so far. It was largely thanks to the openers, Dom Sibley and Ryan Patel, who scored 105 and 72, respectively. Ben Geddes also did his part by scoring 61 runs while the others made scant contributions. Leicestershire had a difficult task on their hands and they came rather close but Surrey’s bowlers halted their progress by bowling them out for 279, leading to a 17-run victory.

Essex vs Surrey Betting Tips
Surrey’s Dom Sibley made the sharpest turn in his form out of any other player this season. In the first three games that he played for the team, he scored all of seven runs and showed absolutely no resilience whatsoever. However, his performance skyrocketed thereafter as he notched up 149 runs at the fourth time of asking. The following two matches were also a testament to his mighty impressive stroke-making, having scored 72 and 105 runs. The opener is expected to craft another half-century in the next match against Essex.

Essex vs Surrey Toss Prediction
County Ground in Chelmsford is a haven for big first innings totals but interestingly, high scoring chases are a frequent occurrence at this venue. Even though the average first innings score this season is as high as 307, the teams fielding first have been successful on both occasions which makes it highly likely that the toss winning skipper of the next match will opt for the same strategy.

Essex vs Surrey Betting Odds
Essex to have a better opening partnership than Surrey
Dom Sibley and Ryan Patel have been on a spree of dominant opening performances for Surrey but it is bound to come down, especially since the latter has been a tad inconsistent. For the most part, Sibley has lugged the weight of the responsibility and they ended up with stands of 138, 66 and 38 runs in the last three games. Nick Browne and Feroze Khushi, on the other hand, are more balanced in this regard and although their partnerships of 23, 8 and 33 are not particularly remarkable, they are backed by the bookmakers to emerge as the superior first partnership.
