Middlesex Team News & Playing 11
Eoin Morgan had scored a brisk 42 against Surrey last year at this ground. The England batsman failed to get off the mark in the first game this season and the team will want him to compensate that failure with a big knock in this match. There will be plenty of hopes pinned on Brendon McCullum as well. Tim Southee claimed a couple of wickets against Gloucestershire and did not give away much either. The Kiwi will be the key bowler for Middlesex and there is a good chance of him striking early.

Surrey Team News & Playing 11
The onus will be on Jason Roy and Aaron Finch to take the team off to a flying start. Both had hit twin fifties against Middlesex in the previous season and so these two will be the biggest hopes with the bat for Surrey. Jade Dernbach, the skipper, was the pick of the bowlers having claimed three wickets in that game. The fast bowler took a couple of scalps against Somerset and he will be backed by his team to deliver the goods with the ball once again.

Middlesex vs Surrey Betting Odds
Middlesex will be playing at Lord's - their home ground - and they will be more familiar with the conditions than Surrey. They began their NatWest T20 Blast 2017 campaign with a tie against Gloucestershire and are 1.89 with Betfair and 2 with Bet365. Surrey have made an ideal to the tournament with two straight wins which is why they are slightly shorter than Middlesex - 1.82 with 1xbet and 1.8 with Bet365.
Middlesex vs Surrey Prediction
Middlesex and Surrey have played 26 matches against each other in the past out of which 18 have been won by the former. This goes to show that they have been the more dominant side as they have won 70% of the matches against Surrey. Although Surrey have a strong batting lineup with the likes of Finch and Roy, but they will be wary of the fact that they were beaten by Middlesex last year at this very venue. Middlesex pipped Surrey at this ground in last year's group clash and we predict them to win this time as well.
Final Verdict: Back Middlesex to beat Surrey at 1.89 with 1xbet and 2 with Bet365.
