Essex Women and Surrey Women will face each other in the 40th match of the Women's T20 Blast 2026 at the County Ground in Chelmsford
Surrey Women come into this match after back-to-back wins and have looked strong in the tournament so far. They have been doing well with both bat and ball and will be hoping to carry that form into this game.
Essex Women, meanwhile, are going through a tough phase after losing their last four matches in a row. Their batting has not clicked in the last few games, and they will be hoping for a much better performance this time.
With both teams coming in with very different form, Surrey will feel more confident, while Essex will be desperate to turn things around.

Essex Women have had a poor campaign so far, winning only 3 of their 8 games and losing their last 4 matches in a row.
In their last game against Warwickshire, they could manage only 116 runs, with their top order failing badly and none of them getting into double digits. However, the middle order did show some fight, with Sophie Munro, Liberty Heap, and Shonny Gardner trying to hold the innings together, but their efforts were not enough to take the team to a better total.
With the ball, Essex still have some key players in Sophie Munro and skipper Eva Gray. Eva Gray picked up three wickets in the last game, while Sophie Munro took two wickets and kept things tight.
But the problem for Essex has been the lack of support from the rest of the bowling unit. Kate Coppack and Briony Gilgrass have not been able to take wickets regularly, and that has hurt the side in important moments. They will be looking for a much better all-round effort in this game.

Surrey Women have been doing well in the tournament and are coming into this game after back-to-back wins. They have won their last 2 matches and are sitting second on the points table, which will give them a lot of confidence.
In the last game, they were very good with the bat and posted 155 runs on the board. Alice Monaghan scored 35 runs, Ruby Franklin played a strong knock of 46 runs, and skipper Bryony Smith gave the side a good start with 19 runs.
They also have Laura Harris in the batting line-up, which gives them extra strength with the kind of attacking shots she can play.
With the ball, Surrey look even stronger with players like Kalea Moore and Ryana MacDonald-Gay in their side. Kalea Moore was outstanding in the last game, taking five wickets, and she will once again be a key player to watch.
Along with that, they also have a strong bowling group with Alice, Bryony, and Danielle Gregory, which makes them a well-balanced side going into this match.
Key Players: Bryony Smith, Ryana MacDonald-Gay, Jemima Spence

The weather at County Ground in Chelmsford is expected to be pleasant, with temperatures around 27°C during the match. Conditions are likely to be mostly cloudy.
The County Ground in Chelmsford has been a very good venue for chasing teams in this tournament so far. Batters can score plenty of runs once they spend a bit of time in the middle, while bowlers can also pick up wickets if they hit the right lines and lengths.The average first-innings score in the last four matches here is 146 runs.
Out of the four games played here so far, teams chasing have won 3 times, while the team batting first has won only once. This shows a pretty clear advantage for the side batting second. Because of this trend, captains winning the toss will likely look to bowl first, read the conditions early on, and chase down the target with a clear plan in mind.
Toss Prediction: Essex Women to win the coin toss
Surrey Women come into this match with good confidence after winning their last two games in a row. They have been one of the better teams in the tournament and are sitting second on the points table. Their batters have been doing well, and the bowling attack has also looked strong, which makes them a balanced side.
Essex Women, on the other hand, have had a poor run lately and have now lost four games in a row. Their batting has struggled badly in recent matches, and that has been the biggest reason behind their poor results. Even though their bowlers have shown some fight, they have not got enough support from the batting unit.
Both teams have some good players, but with the form and confidence Surrey are carrying, they look slightly ahead going into this game.
