Surrey meet Glamorgan tomorrow afternoon in Match 26 of the England Domestic One-Day Cup 2025 at the historic Kennington Oval. Surrey are rooted to the bottom after losing their first two matches. Glamorgan have picked up only two points from their previous washed-out fixture and sit seventh after two games. Both sides are desperate to secure their first victory of the campaign. Given the line-ups and recent form, defending champions Glamorgan appear better placed to edge ahead in this contest and improve their position in the standings.

Surrey find themselves anchored at the foot of the Group A table after two defeats in a row. Their latest setback was an 85-run loss to Gloucestershire, where they were bowled out for 208 while chasing 286. Both batting and bowling have struggled to find rhythm, and they will need a far more disciplined showing in the matches ahead.
Ollie Sykes has been among the few bright spots so far. Batting in the middle order, he has scored 147 runs in two innings at an average of 73.50 and a strike rate of 93.03, scoring a fifty in both outings.
Apart from him, Ryan Patel has contributed 69 runs from two games, and Josh Blake has managed 57 in the same span. Beyond these efforts, the rest of the batting has not delivered.
The bowling has lacked bite as well. Cameron Steel is the only one to have created real problems for opponents, taking four wickets in two innings at an economy rate above 5.58. James Taylor and Yousef Majid have the potential to offer more, but their influence has been minimal to this point.

The defending champions have had a mixed start, losing their opener to Hampshire by 72 runs before their clash with Derbyshire was abandoned due to rain. A poor NRR of -1.440 is an early concern and something they will aim to improve quickly.
Against Hampshire, a stiff target of 325 proved too much as they folded for 252. Kiran Carlson played a captain’s knock of 135 off 92 balls, but there was little contribution from his teammates, which cost them any real chance.
The side will look to Edward Byrom and Billy Root to hit form. Both were among the leading scorers in last year’s title run and have the ability to change a match. This could be the day one of them produces a big innings.
The bowling effort in the opener was also underwhelming, with most conceding freely. Ned Leonard claimed 3 for 54 in seven overs, while Carlson kept things tight with 1 for 22 in six. Andy Gorvin, last season’s top wicket-taker with 19, will again be relied upon for this fixture.

Early movement with the new ball can test openers before conditions settle at the Kennington Oval, where stroke play becomes easier as the innings progresses. The surface usually stays true for most of the match. Spinners may get some grip later in the day, but not enough to dictate play.
London will see bright and clear weather throughout the day on Wednesday, so we will have a full game without any interruptions.

The average score batting first at the Kennington Oval is 254. Teams often aim for steady starts and accelerate through the middle overs to set up competitive totals. The team batting first here will look to set a score of around 270-280.
Chasing usually works better at the Kennington Oval, as 43 of the 74 ODIs played here have been won by the side batting second. So, expect the toss-winning captain to bowl first.
It has been a nightmare opening to the season for Surrey, and they must find a quick turnaround. Their next challenge is against title holders Glamorgan. While Glamorgan have stumbled early this season, they still carry enough quality to challenge any side, and our pick is for them to hit back strongly in this matchup.
Glamorgan are favorites to win this clash.
