Surrey vs Middlesex Chances of Winning
Surrey were virtually gifted victory by Glamorgan in their last match where the latter batted first. This turned out to be a hellish strategy as Surrey’s bowlers went ham on Glamorgan to restrict them to 107 runs. With a paltry target in their sights, it did not take much effort for Surrey to taste success. They did lose one wicket along the way but the top order consisting of Dom Sibley, Dan Lawrence and Laurie Evans finished the chase by themselves by adding individual totals of 44, 27 and 31 runs, respectively, to the scoreboard. Surrey rejoiced at a nine-wicket victory.
Middlesex’s previous encounter in the tournament was against Surrey and it did not end well for the former. Despite having played on home soil, Middlesex’s bowlers conceded 185 runs and Surrey had a defendable target on their side. It all came crashing down for Middlesex during the chase as they lost several wickets in succession and found themselves down at 129 runs by the end of the match. Wicket-keeper batter Jack Davies was their only saving grace with 35 runs but a lack of support from the others saw Middlesex receive the short end of the straw. They lost by a whopping 56 runs.

Surrey vs Middlesex Betting Tips
Middlesex to score low before first dismissal
Although Stephen Eskinazi and Martin Andersson have cemented their position as Middlesex’s recognized opening pair, their partnerships are not always commendable. In fact, the last five games reflect a lack of coordination between both openers as they take turns to suffer early dismissals. Together, they posted stands of 32, 7, 35, 12 and 1 in the previous five outings. Surrey’s bowlers are not to be trifled with and Middlesex’s openers would have to be incredibly cautious in their approach.

Surrey vs Middlesex Betting Odds
Surrey to have a better opening partnership than Middlesex
Surrey’s opening wicket has taken a blow this season and they have not been performing at the highest level, given the precedent they have set for themselves. However, there was a massive revamp in the opening partnership against Glamorgan where Dan Lawrence and Dom Sibley added 53 runs to the first wicket. The two matches prior to that were not something to write home about since they ended up with first wicket stands of ten and two runs. Stephen Eskinazi and Martin Andersson outgunned Surrey’s opening total last time around but it is unlikely that they can replicate their performance in the next match. They scored 32, 7 and 35 runs together in the last three games for Middlesex but the bookmakers believe it is Surrey’s time to shine this time.

Surrey vs Middlesex Best Batters
Jamie Smith to be Surrey’s Best Batter
Wicket-keeper batter Jamie Smith did not get a chance to bat in the last match against Glamorgan but his stronghold over the run charts remains unchanged. He has 285 runs in seven innings and after a slight dip in performance against Middlesex earlier this season, he is expected to return with a vengeance.
Max Holden to be Middlesex’s Best Batter
Max Holden faced an unfortunate golden duck dismissal against Surrey in their previous meeting this season but he continues to be Middlesex’s mainstay with 176 runs in eight innings. In Middlesex’s last completed match against Essex, Holden was the top batter with an unbeaten 41. He is anticipated to be their standout batter once again.
Surrey vs Middlesex Best Bowlers
Sean Abbott to be Surrey’s Best Bowler
Sean Abbott is the top wicket-taker for Surrey with a total of 15 wickets under his belt in eight innings. He was tied as the leading bowler for the team against Glamorgan in the last match, having claimed three wickets in four overs with an economy rate of 6.25. With a brilliant average of 15.86, he remains the top pick for the next match as well.
Luke Hollman to be Middlesex’s Best Bowler
Luke Hollman has been Middlesex’s most valuable bowler this season with 14 wickets in seven innings. He achieved a fifer in the previous fixture against Surrey during his four-over spell. He was also a nightmare for the opposition to try and score off of considering he conceded just 16 runs and earned an economy rate of 4.00. He is, without a doubt, the top choice for the next game.
