Will Jacks:

Will Jacks put up a commendable performance on display while playing against Gloucestershire in the team’s second fixture of the Blast. After losing opening batter Jason Roy, and then the middle-order batters in a miserable collapse, Jacks compiled a half-century as he scored a 33-ball 51, becoming the top-scorer of the game and taking his team’s total to 129 which proved to be a winning one.

Probable best bowler of the match

Sam Curran:

Sam Curran was away from action for some time due to his injury but made a brilliant comeback with Surrey in the T20 Blast. He has been impressive with the bat, as well as the ball. Alongside adding some crucial runs on the board, he has also managed to pick five wickets in just two games, including his best figures of 4/14 in the previous match against Gloucestershire.
