MDX vs SUR T20 Match Prediction & Betting Tips, Vitality T20 Blast
Middlesex host Surrey on Thursday evening at Lord’s in the first London derby of the T20 Blast. Middlesex failed to qualify from the South Group in 2020, finishing in 4th place with three wins and eight points. Surrey won the South Group and went all the way to the final before losing to Notts Outlaws by 6 wickets. Read on as we preview this game. The match will get underway at 19:00 local time on June 10.
After a disappointing campaign in 2020, Middlesex should perform better this year with England Captain Eoin Morgan available alongside overseas players Daryl Mitchell and Chris Green. Middlesex have been disappointing in the County Championship and will relish a change in format.
Surrey will be looking to go one better after their defeat to Notts Outlaws in last year’s final. They have England World Cup winners in Liam Plunkett and Jason Roy as well as Hashim Amla and countless other internationals to call upon.

Middlesex Team News & Playing 11
MDX Team News
Middlesex won only three games during the campaign last year, finishing four points off the top 3. They should have more quality, experience and variety in their side this year which should make for a more successful tournament.
MDX Key Players
Eoin Morgan - England’s white ball captain returns to the T20 Blast this season. He will be itching to get going after not playing any cricket after the IPL was paused earlier this year.
Stevie Eskinazi - Only one player scored more runs than Eskinazi in the 2020 T20 Blast. He will be looking to go one better in this year’s tournament.
Steve Finn - The former England bowler captained the side last year but can focus on his bowling in 2021. His performances in 2020 led to some talk of an international recall.
MDX Team Form
With only one win in this season’s County Championship and a 4th place finish in the T20 Blast group stage last year, Middlesex need to find their form quickly.
Middlesex Predicted Playing 11
Stevie Eskinazi, Max Holden, John Simpson (wk), Eoin Morgan, Peter Handscomb, Nick Gubbins, Luke Hollman, Chris Green, Tom Helm, Nathan Sowter, Steve Finn
Surrey Team News & Playing 11
SUR Team News
In spite of their strength in depth, Surrey will miss Australia all-rounder Sean Abbott who had a very strong summer season in Australia earlier this year. Rhys Topley has also been ruled out through injury. However, expect lots of big names and many impressive individual performances from Surrey who fancy their chances in the tournament.
SUR Key Players
- Jason Roy - England’s white ball opener hit 66 runs from 47 balls in the final against Notts Outlaws last year. His job will be to tee off at the top of the order.
- Hashim Amla- the South African will be expected to keep the scoreboard ticking over without the same aggression as some of his team-mates. He has been in fine form in the County Championship.
- Liam Plunkett - another England World Cup winner in the Surrey team. Plunkett will take wickets outside of the power plays and will hit valuable lower order runs.
SUR Team Form
Surrey have won two County Championship games this year and are still in contention for the top two. Their T20 Blast form took them all the way to the final in 2020.
Surrey Predicted Playing 11
Jason Roy, Hashim Amla, Will Jacks, Laurie Evans, Jamie Overton,Sam Curran, Liam Plunkett, Jamie Smith (wk), Tom Curran, Gareth Batty, Dan Moriarty

🏆 Middlesex vs Surrey Prediction
Surrey would have been very confident coming into this game 10 days ago but will be slightly deflated by the injuries to internationals Sean Abbott and Rhys Topley. Overall, we still expect to see a Surrey win although Middlesex should run them close.
