T20 Blast 2022: SUR vs MID Match Prediction – Who will win today’s match between Surrey and Middlesex?

Surrey will be hosting Middlesex at the Oval on June 17 (Friday) in the T20 Blast 2022. Surrey is in rampaging form this season and is the only team among the 18 counties to still be defeated in this year’s tournament. Incidentally, in their last game before the break, they defeated Middlesex comfortably by 20 runs.

Middlesex, on the other hand, is on a wretched run of form that has seen them lose five consecutive games after winning the first three. They head into the game after suffering a damaging defeat at the hands of Essex in their previous encounter.

Pitch Report

The pitch at the Kennington Oval is one of the flattest decks in the County with good carry and bounce. The fast bowlers are likely to get some assistance at the start, but as the game progresses, the batters are going to dominate the proceedings in the match. The team winning the toss will like to bat first and put a good total on the board to put the chasing team under pressure.

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match

Jason Roy:

Jason Roy comes into the game after terrific innings in the previous encounter against the same opposition. The right-handed opener took Middlesex’s bowling apart with a blistering  81 off 45 balls. The attacking batter looked in good nick and will hope to continue his form ahead of a busy English summer.

Probable best bowler of the match

Sunil Narine:

Sunil Narine has gone under the radar in this year’s competition because he has picked just a handful of wickets, but the veteran spinner has been one of the most economical bowlers of this year’s edition and has controlled the proceedings in the middle overs for Surrey. Batters have found it really hard to cut loose against the West Indian this year.
