Surrey vs Middlesex Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 Blast 2023
On Thursday evening, Surrey welcome Middlesex to The Oval in the South Group of the 2023 T20 Blast. Surrey have won eight of their 11 matches and are in 2nd place in the table. Middlesex have lost all 10 of their games and are bottom of the South Group. Read on as we preview this local derby. This match gets underway in South London at 18:30 local time.
Surrey responded well to their heavy defeat to Hampshire Hawks on Sunday by thrashing Glamorgan by 81 runs on Tuesday. They have an excellent team and are always a tough opponent at home.
Middlesex had been beaten by narrow margins of 5, 4 and 13 runs before their 22 run (DLS) defeat against Essex Eagles. They will find Surrey to be an accomplished side with both bat and ball.

Surrey Team News & Playing 11
SUR Team News
There are no injuries in the Surrey camp and all of their players have produced match winning performances at some stage across the tournament so far. Considering this match will be played on the same pitch as on Tuesday, we expect to see the same XI selected.
SUR Key Players
- Will Jacks - The 24 year old England international was not far away from an Ashes call-up a couple of weeks ago. He hit 69 runs from 40 balls in the win over Glamorgan.
- Laurie Evans - The experienced T20 opener has had a fine campaign for Surrey. He hit 40 runs from only 24 balls and will be looking forward to batting on the same pitch in this game.
- Chris Jordan - The England international bowler ripped through the Glamorgan middle order in the last match. He finished with figures of 4-21 from his four overs.
SUR Team Form
The defeat against Hampshire Hawks on Sunday was the first time Surrey hadn’t won in four matches. They have picked up victories in five of their last six games.

Middlesex Team News & Playing 11
MID Team News
One thing that has been apparent to all cricket followers and fans of Middlesex during this T20 Blast campaign has been the lack of depth in the squad. After a poor start to the campaign, they have shown faith in young players in recent games and we expect the same in this match.
MID Key Players
- Steve Eskinazi - The skipper enjoyed playing in the BBL last winter and has scored consistent runs for his side this season. He hit four boundaries in the last game.
- Max Holden - The 25 year old former England U-19 player has been a rare positive for Middlesex in this year’s T20 Blast. He has hit 121 not out and 53 in two of his last four innings.
- Martin Andersson - The 26 year old all-rounder had an excellent season with the ball last year. He dismissed all of Essex Eagles’ top three in the last game on Sunday.
MID Team Form
Middlesex won only one of their last four matches in the T20 Blast last year but have a strong squad who should be competitive again this season.
Middlesex Predicted Playing 11
Steve Eskinazi (c), Joe Cracknell, Ryan Higgins, Max Holden, John Simpson (wk), Jack Davies, Luke Hollman, Joshua De Caires, Martin Andersson, Nathan Fernandes, Tom Helm

🏆 Surrey vs Middlesex Prediction
In sport, it is usual to say that form goes out of the window during a local derby but it is impossible to use that cliche ahead of this game such is the poor form of Middlesex and Surrey’s dominance in the tournament. Middlesex could well cause some problems with their top order batting but apart from that we expect them to be completely outplayed. Our prediction is another victory for Surrey.
