Match Details:

Middlesex will take on Surrey in the upcoming South Group clash of the T20 Blast 2020. The game will be held at Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.

This match is scheduled to start at 6:15 PM Local Time (10:45 PM IST).

Preview:

Both the teams will play their seventh game of the league on this Monday. Middlesex won their last encounter against Hampshire quite comfortably. They are now sitting in the fourth position of the table. Their opponents Surrey are sitting two points and as many places above them.

When the two sides met earlier in the competition, Middlesex were not a match to Surrey. Steven Finn’s men will be looking to turn things around this time. On the other hand, Surrey would look to win this game and then hope for a potential slip-up by Susses, so that they can pole position.
