The match between Middlesex and Surrey is known as London Derby. Last year, Middlesex defeated Surrey in a close-encounter and has a strong hand over the London opponents. Lord’s is expected to full to witness this match. The home team is boosted by the arrival of Dwayne Bravo, who has traveled from T20 Canada league to play in this match.

Surrey is without their key players in Jason Roy and Tom Curran, as all are involved in the T20I matches against India. In their absence, Jade Dernbach will be leading the side.
