MID vs ESS Dream11 Prediction: Fantasy Cricket Tips, Today's Playing 11s and Pitch Report for T20 Blast 2022 South Group Match

Middlesex (MID) will take on Essex (ESS) in a South Group match of the T20 Blast 2022 at the Lord's Ground in London on Thursday.

The journey for either side hasn't been exciting so far. Middlesex have only won four of their 11 games, while Essex have five wins in 10. Somerset ended Essex's two-game winning streak in their previous match as they look to get back on winning track.

Chris Green, Martin Andersson, and Stephen Eskinazi have consistently performed well for Middlesex, but the side have failed to hold their nerve and have lost some close games in the final over.

Several of Essex's results, meanwhile, revolve around Matt Critchley and Michael Pepper, who have consistently performed well for them.

Both teams have depth in their batting and bowling, making Thursday's game an exciting one to watch.
