ESS vs MID Match Prediction : T20 Blast 2025 – Who Will Win Today’s Match Between ESS vs MID?

In a clash of two winless teams desperate to kickstart their campaigns, Essex host Middlesex at Chelmsford. Both sides are languishing at the bottom of the South Group table, with Essex losing all three of their games so far and Middlesex slightly ahead courtesy of a no-result against Kent.

Essex’s last outing was a disheartening 6-wicket defeat to Glamorgan, where despite a spirited 60 from Michael Pepper and a quick 32 from Dean Elgar, their bowling lacked penetration. The experienced Simon Harmer and Paul Walter each took a couple of wickets, but the attack was largely ineffective on a good batting surface. With a dismal net run rate of -2.702, Essex urgently need a turnaround — particularly from senior bowlers like Mohammad Amir and Sam Cook, who have been far from threatening.

Middlesex, meanwhile, showed glimpses of potential with the bat in the rain-affected game at Lord’s. Zak Crawley’s 57 and Bell-Drummond’s 34 set the foundation, but frequent collapses and a lack of finishing power remain an issue. The bowling, however, was encouraging — with Tom Helm taking 3/29 and Hollman impressing in the middle overs. Joshua Little has yet to find his rhythm, but there's quality in the attack if it clicks.

Chelmsford has historically favoured aggressive batting with some turn on offer for spinners. With both sides struggling to find winning form, this could be a scrappy but high-stakes encounter. Expect Essex to lean on their home familiarity, but Middlesex’s deeper bowling could make the difference.

Bet on Middlesex to win.
