Lords will have dark and gloomy weather on the match day with weather interruptions expected as per forecasters.
Lords will be flat and hard track to bat with good bounce and carry. Bowlers might enjoy some seam movement early but the pitch will ease out as the match progresses.
Both skippers will look to bat first on this track as chasing is not a safe option here with pitch being good early on.
Essex batters are making good scores with their top-5 batters in good rhythm off late. Their bowlers have fared better in the last game. Middlesex bowlers have been leaking runs in their last match. Their batters are experienced players who will step up in the Shortened chase whenever needed. We expect Middlesex to win this match owing to their home conditions.
Middlesex will win the match.
