Surrey vs Essex T20 Blast Match Prediction

Surrey vs Essex Prediction & Betting Tips, Vitality T20 Blast

Surrey will take on Essex in the 54th match of the T20 Blast. The match will be played at the Kennington Oval, London and will get underway at 11:00 PM IST

The campaign for both teams have followed opposite trajectory. While Surrey are yet to be defeated in five games, Essex have managed just one win in their six matches. Surrey will be without the services of Jason Roy, Tom Curran and Sam Curran who have joined the national team for Pakistan series. Still, with the likes of Laurie Evans, Jordan Clarke, Will Jacks, they have a decent batting line up. Also the return of Rory Burns is a big plus. In the bowling department, the spin duo of Daniel Moriarty and Gareth Batty have been very economical. The pacers have bowled well as well. Surrey's dominant run has not been a result of few standout performances. Instead, everyone has chipped in at some point of other. This is the fifth consecutive game for Surrey on home soil and they're looking good to continue their winning run in the tournament.

For Essex, they have now lost four consecutive games. It's not just the losses but the magnitude of losses that have been disappointing. Essex needed big performances from the likes of James Neesham and Ryan ten Doeschate which never came. They are now in a miserable position. Against one of the strongest team in the competition, in their home den, Essex have a mammoth task on their hands.
