Vitality T20 Blast 2023, Middlesex vs Surrey: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

The sixth game of the Vitality T20 Blast 2023 will see Middlesex locking horns with Surrey in a south-group clash. The Lord's Stadium in London is all set to host this exciting encounter on Thursday, May 25.

After a horrible season last year, Middlesex will be hoping for a fresh start this year. The team finished eighth in the points table with eight points, having won just four of their 14 games.

The addition of Pieter Malan and Ryan Higgins will be a big boost for the team as they will be looking to start their campaign with a win this year.

Surrey, on the other hand, missed out on a well-deserved title last year as they got knocked out of the tournament after losing to Yorkshire in the quarter-finals. The team finished at the top of the South group points table with 21 points, winning 10 of their 14 games.

The Sam Curran-led side will be looking to repeat their performance this year as well and get closer to winning the title.
