Surrey Team News & Playing 11
Aaron Finch has hit two fifties this season and is currently the leading run-getter for Surrey. He is averaging 47 and is expected to get a big score in this match. Kumar Sangakkara top-scored with a 42-ball 70 in the reverse fixture and he too will be the key man with the bat. Gareth Batty, the skipper, claimed a four-wicket haul in that match and Surrey will want him to replicate that performance when they meet Middlesex on Friday again.

Middlesex Team News & Playing 11
Ryan Higgins is the only batsman in the side to have hit a fifty this season and he is going to be the team's best man with the bat in the lower-middle order. Dawid Malan smashed a brisk 41 in the reverse fixture and the onus will be on him to take Middlesex off to a flying start. Tim Southee will be the biggest threat for Surrey with the ball. The New Zealand fast bowler took a couple of wickets against them earlier and he is likely to trouble them again at the Oval.

Surrey vs Middlesex Prediction
Surrey clearly have an upper hand when it comes to head-to-head count as they have beaten Middlesex 18 times in the 27 matches they have played against them. However, Middlesex will gain confidence from having defeated Surrey in their previous two meetings - one earlier at Lord's this season and one last season also at Lord's. But Surrey have the home advantage and they have been doing very well at this ground of late, winning six of their last eight matches played here. They also have a slightly stronger batting lineup and so we predict them to win this encounter.
Final Verdict: Back Surrey to beat Middlesex in this South Group fixture of the NatWest T20 Blast 2017.
