Defending champions Essex Eagles begin their title defence against Middlesex at the Cloudfm County Ground on Thursday.

Essex will be led by Simon Harmer and seem to have a balanced roster in their ranks. Though the Australian pair of Adam Zampa and Moises Henriques would miss the tournament, they still seem to possess enough quality to mount a successful title defence.

On the other hand, Middlesex have been ravaged by the absences of Paul Stirling, Dawid Malan, AB de Villiers and Mujeeb ur Rahman. Additionally, they would miss the services of Eoin Morgan, with the English skipper preparing to lead the Three Lions in limited-overs series against Australia and Pakistan.

Having said that though, both teams still have plenty of quality players at their disposal, meaning that we could be in for a humdinger on Thursday.

Pitch Report

The pitch has historically favoured the batsman, with the first innings average score hovering around 179. Consequently, the bowlers would have to be at the top of their games to trouble the batsmen.

As far as the weather conditions are concerned, there seems to be a slight chance of rain, meaning that we could be looking at a potentially shortened encounter.
