Glamorgan`s only loss came in the closest of margins by 1 run. Hamish Rutherford leads the batting charts with 101 runs while the middle order trio of Kiran Carlsen (95 runs), Billy Root (95 runs), and Tom Cullen (96 runs) are looking in good touch with fifty each in the matches played so far.

Top players to bet on:

Tom Cullen – Cullen has scores of 58* & 37 in the last two matches and he will look to add more runs under his belt in the upcoming matches with his good form.

Surrey Preview

Surrey has been led by Mark Stoneman (116 runs) and Ryan Patel (133 runs) in the top order with Jamie Smith (79 runs) playing vital knocks down the order to up the scoring rate in final overs.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Cardiff has bright and sunny weather with no rain predicted on the match day. We expect a full match with no interruptions.

Venue Details

Cardiff is a bowling friendly pitch where bowlers will have an upper hand owing to the lit bit of movement available in the track. We expect scores around 240-250 runs in this match. Last match had a match tally of less than 450 runs across 2 innings with 18 wickets taken by the bowlers in 99 overs.

Toss: To Bat

Chasing is pretty tough ta this venue and it was evident when Glamorgan chased just 222 runs with just 2 balls remaining in the last game played here.  Both captains will bat first and use the fresh pitch on offer.
