MID vs ESS Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's T20 Blast Match - Jun 24, 2021

Middlesex CCC will take on Essex Eagles in a South Group T20 Blast fixture at the Lord's on Thursday.

Middlesex CCC are having a disastrous T20 Blast campaign thus far. They are currently rock-bottom in the South Group points table with just one win and four losses from their five T20 Blast matches. Middlesex CCC, who seek to bounce back after losing two games on the trot, will be bolstered by the inclusion of Daryl Mitchell, Tom Helm and Nathan Sowter. However, they will be missing the services of their skipper Eoin Morgan and power-hitting all-rounder Paul Stirling as they resume international duties.

The Essex Eagles, meanwhile, have won two and lost four of their seven T20 Blast matches and currently find themselves in seventh position in the South Group standings. The Eagles won their last game against Surrey Cricket by eight wickets and nine balls to spare. The Simon Harmer-led side have no major absentees and will hope to continue their winning momentum against an off-form Middlesex CCC side.

Pitch Report

The track at Lord's is a batting paradise, with the average first innings score at the venue being 183 runs. Nonetheless, the pitch offers true bounce, which should aid the pacers in scalping wickets. Traditionally, the teams batting first have enjoyed great success on this ground.
