Middlesex will be up against Surrey in a South Group T20 Blast fixture at Lord’s on Thursday.
Middlesex managed just three wins from their 10 games in T20 Blast 2020. In fact, they have been one of the worst teams in the history of this competition, with Middlesex's win percentage of 37.37% being the second-worst (only behind Derbyshire). They will be looking to turn things around and get off to a good start this time around.
Surrey, on the other hand, have been one of the most consistent sides in the T20 Blast over the years. They have won 109 games in the competition, with their win percentage of 53.9% being among the top five. Last season, Surrey reached the final but fell short in the title clash against Nottinghamshire.
