It has been a poor season for the team, forcing Leus du Plooy to take over the captaincy from Stephen Eskinazi midseason. It hasn't helped the team's fortunes, though, as they lost to the Kent Spitfires by 7 wickets. With this loss, the team has lost all hope of making it to the next round. Leus du Plooy would like to give fans something to cheer about with a strong show at their home ground.
Stephen Eskinazi has struggled with consistency this season and must deliver a good start with Ben Geddes. Kane Williamson must bring his experience to play and do well in the middle order with Leus du Plooy and Ryan Higgins. The side will expect a strong show in the lower middle order from Joe Cracknell and Luke Hollman.
Noah Cornwell and Tom Helm haven't troubled the batters with the new ball. The team needs them to deliver early breakthroughs, as the opponents have a strong batting lineup. Ryan Higgins and Joshua Little will look to bowl tight spells in the middle overs. The side expects a strong show in the supporting role from Luke Hollman and Zafar Gohar.

Sam Curran's team is in sublime form. They defeated the table-toppers, Somerset, in the last game by 67 runs and will feel confident. The batting lineup has done well this season, and they have a well-balanced bowling attack. Curran expects clinical performances from his players, aiming to build momentum ahead of the next round.
Will Jacks and Ryan Patel are batting well at the top, and the team expects them to deliver a strong start. The side has the strongest middle order this season and expects partnerships between Jason Roy, Sam Curran, and Daniel Lawrence. Tom Curran, Jamie Overton, and Chris Jordan add to the side's batting firepower in the lower middle order.
Reece Topley and Sam Curran form a strong new-ball pair, and the team needs early wickets to trouble Middlesex's experienced top order. Chris Jordan will look to bowl tight spells in the middle overs with Adam Zampa. Jamie Overton, Will Jacks, and Tom Curran add variety to the attack, making it a strong unit.

There would be slight cloud covering over London, and we expect to see a good batting surface. There have been high-scoring games at this venue, and batsmen have been able to play their strokes freely. The average first-innings score is slightly less than 180, and the side batting first shall aim to have 200 runs on the board.
Lord's is one of England's best batting surfaces, and we have seen sides pose imposing totals at this venue. The ball comes onto the bat nicely, allowing batsmen to play their strokes. Bowlers find the conditions tough here as there isn't much for them on this surface after the initial overs.
The pitch has been a good one to bat on, and we have seen big scores on this surface in the last few years. Setting up a total is always a challenge; hence, we expect the side winning the toss in this game to invite the opposition to bat first.
Middlesex are out of contention for the next round. The team has lacked consistency with the top and middle order, letting the side down. The experienced batting lineup must deliver the goods for the side to win. Surrey has a strong batting lineup, which has scored runs. The side also boasts a more varied bowling attack, making them favourites.
