Aaron Finch is averaging 47 and has hit a couple of fifties this season, one against Essex in the reverse fixture and one against Somerset at this ground. The opener is currently the tournament's third-highest run-getter and Surrey will want him to continue his rich vein of form. Tom Curran has been the most successful bowler for Surrey so far. The fast bowler has taken seven wickets, three of which were picked against Essex and he will be expected to replicate that performance on Wednesday.

Essex Team News & Playing 11
Ravi Bopara has been their best batsman so far and he has done reasonably well with the ball too. With two half-centuries under his belt, he is the second-leading run-getter of the tournament at the moment and a key figure in Essex's batting lineup. Varun Chopra belted an unbeaten 103 from just 59 balls in the last match against Glamorgan - another batsman to watch out for. South African offspinner Simon Harmer has taken six wickets from four matches which is the most by any Essex bowler so far this season and he will be a big threat for Surrey apart from Mohammad Amir.

Surrey vs Essex Betting Odds
Surrey will be playing at their home ground where they have won one and lost one match in this year's NatWest T20 Blast. They edged out Essex earlier at the latter's home ground in Chelmsford which will give them a psychological boost ahead of this clash. Surrey are therefore favorites to win this game at 1.66 with both betfair and bet365. Essex on the other hand haven't looked promising in their approach. They won just one out of the four games they have played and are outsiders for this upcoming fixture at 2.18 with Betfair and 2.20 with Bet365.
Surrey vs Essex Prediction
Essex will derive a lot of confidence from the fact that they have beaten Surrey 15 times in the 22 matches they have played against them in the past. They also defeated them convincingly when the two sides met at this ground last season. However, they seem to be struggling this year having lost three of their first four matches and so there will be pressure on them to win this match. Surrey have the home advantage and they have done really well at this ground in recent times, winning six of their past eight matches here. We therefore predict the hosts to emerge victorious in this match.
Final Verdict: Back Surrey to beat Essex Eagles at 1.66 with both betfair and bet365.
