SUR vs MID Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's T20 Blast Match - June 25th, 2021
The South Group of the T20 Blast 2021 will see Surrey take on Middlesex at the Kia Oval in London on Friday.
Surrey have been quite impressive in the T20 Blast this season, with three wins in five completed games. Although they have lost a few matches recently, Surrey have a decent squad to fall back on, with the likes of Will Jacks and Daniel Moriarty in good form. However, they will need the experience of Rory Burns and Jade Dernbach more than ever as they try and sustain their bid for a top-four finish.
Their opponents, Middlesex, currently sit at the bottom of the table with just one win at the time of writing. Although Middlesex have struggled to click as a unit, Chris Green's performances with the ball are noteworthy. They will need the likes of Stephen Eskinazi and captain Steve Finn to step up if they are to return to winning ways in the T20 Blast.
Although Surrey will start the game as the favorites, Middlesex have a well-balanced team capable of upsetting their London rivals. All in all, a cracking T20 Blast game beckons, with two valuable points up for grabs.

Pitch Report
A good batting track beckons at the Kia Oval with some help on offer for the pacers as well. Although the fast bowlers should get the ball to swing around early on, the batsmen will look to maximize the powerplay conditions. As the game progresses, the spinners will also come into play, making for an even contest between the bat and ball. Both teams will look to chase, with 160-170 being a good total at the venue.
