Middlesex vs Essex: Match Preview

If Middlesex and Essex want to emerge victorious from the South Group, they each have a significant amount of ground to make up in terms of gameplay. Middlesex is currently in seventh place in the standings with only eight points and a negative net run rate of 1.149.

Their next opponent will be Essex, who are performing slightly better than them and now hold the fourth spot in the table with 11 points and a positive net run rate of 0.341. Due to the fact that Essex has already triumphed over Middlesex once this campaign, they are the clear favorites to win this matchup.

Middlesex Preview

Middlesex has only one victory in their previous eight matches, so it is obvious that they are in desperate need of some winning momentum. Following a score of 171-7 in their most recent match, they were defeated by Glamorgan by a margin of 8 wickets.

The focus for Middlesex will once again be on the team’s top three hitters in terms of success. Stevie Eskinazi, who is now serving as the team’s skipper, has amassed 319 runs thus far while opening the batting with a strike rate of 170.58.

Next in line is fellow opener Max Holden, who has scored 267 runs while averaging 132.17, and then No. 3 Joe Cracknell (288 runs at 126.13).

Their fast bowler Martin Andersson, who currently has 17 wickets and an economy rate of 9.71, has been the focal point of their bowling attack. Chris Green, who bowls off-spin, has taken 10 wickets at an average of 8.72, while Luke Hollman, who bowls leg-spin, has taken 9 wickets at an average of 9.75. Both spinners have been effective in the middle. The group will also be looking at the reliable performance of Jason Behrendorff in this contest in the hopes that he can contribute to the team’s success.

Essex Preview

Before their most recent match, which they lost against Somerset, Essex had won four games in a row in consecutive order. Somerset accomplished their difficult task of chasing down their target of 189 runs in just 17.2 overs, with 8 wickets remaining at the end of the game. Michael Pepper once again led the team in scoring with a phenomenal undefeated 86 off of 49 balls. Pepper is presently the leader on the team in terms of run production, having driven in 312 runs with a strike rate of 158.37.

Paul Walter, who scored 58 runs off 29 balls in the previous match, has 255 runs so far and is batting at 149.12 right now. Another hitter that you need to keep an eye out for is all-rounder Matthew Critchley (236 runs at 140.47). The majority of Essex’s bowling has been at a respectable standard. With his leg-spin, Critchley has now taken 14 wickets while maintaining an incredible economy of 7.10 runs per over. Then there is Ben Allison, who has nine wickets and a strike rate of 9.70, and Simon Harmer, who is the captain (8 wickets at 6.55).

Both Harmer’s four overs of off-spin and Critchley’s leg-spin have been beneficial to the side, as the two spinners have been able to keep the hitters in check during their respective stints in the field.

Middlesex vs Essex: Weather Report

Due to the fact that Lord’s has only hosted two matches so far this season, the pitch will still be in excellent condition. The hardness of the surface should be beneficial for the hitters, while the seam bowlers will benefit from some bounce. During the middle overs, spinners have a chance to obtain some purchases as well.

On June 23rd, there will likely be thunderstorms in London, but they shouldn’t linger too long and the game should go on as scheduled regardless of the weather.
