MID vs SUR Team Previews
Middlesex
The last game of the Blast for Middlesex has washed away due to rain. This game against Hampshire was abandoned during the first innings of the match. The Middlesex team has had terrible luck in this year's Blast and is currently lying at the bottom of the points table. They have played seven games so far and have lost five of them. Middlesex has succeeded in winning just a single match so far and has three points from seven games. They also have the dubious distinction of having the worst net run rate in the South Group.
In the abandoned game against Hampshire, the Middlesex batters were in trouble again. In a match reduced to eighteen overs, they were struggling at 113 for eight in 16.5 overs before rain played spoilsport, and the game had to be canceled. Although Middlesex was off to a poor start, some players in the middle order, such as Joe Cracknell, Ryan Higgins, and Max Holden, did offer some resistance. We did not see the Middlesex bowlers in this game, as the Hampshire innings were never played.
