Surrey | Chris Jordan’s side started the season as one of the top contenders for the title and has lived up to the expectations with back-to-back wins. They come here with a 37-run win against Gloucestershire in their last game. Openers Jason Roy and Will Jacks look in good form and the side would want to see them excel here. In Sam Curran, Laurie Evans, Sunil Narine, and Kieron Pollard the side has good hitters of the ball making it a formidable batting line-up. Reece Topley and Curran have bowled brilliantly so far and they would look to hunt with the new ball. Jordan and Narine add experience to the attack which also has Daniel Worral and Pollard adding to the strengths. Hampshire Hawks |James Vince’s side is under pressure having lost all the three games they have played. They went down by 8 wickets against Essex Eagles in the last game and have to make a recovery from here. It won’t be easy against Surrey and the Hawks’ skipper would like to see a good start from Ben McDermott and Aneurin Donald. Vince, Joe Weatherley, and Liam Dawson are experienced players but they haven’t done well so far in the tournament. James Fuller and Ross Whiteley add to the side’s batting strength down the order. Dawson and Brad Wheal will have to get early breakthroughs as Surrey have a strong line-up. Nathan Ellis has done well and he would need good support from Mason Crane, Fuller, and Scott Currie in this game.
Surrey to win Surrey has a powerful batting line-up and a strong bowling attack. Playing at home they would start as favourites in this game.

Glamorgan |Two consecutive defeats have hurt David Lloyd’s side after it has started the season with a win. They lost the last game against Middlesex by 4 wickets owing to the failure of their batsmen to build partnerships. They have enjoyed a good record against Essex in the past and Lloyd would like to build on that here. They have a strong batting line-up and the Top 3 of Sam Northeast, Lloyd, and Marnus Labuschagne must convert their starts into big scores. The side would also expect runs from Kiran Carlson and Chris Cooke. Michael Hogan and Prem Sisodiya have done well with the ball but the rest of the attack has been found lacking in form. The likes of Michael Neser, Andrew Salter, and Daniel Douthwaite shall have to come up with good lines for the side to win this game. Essex Eagles | Simon Harmer’s side has won two out of the three games the side has played. It was a brilliant display from the side with the bat and the ball as they defeated the Hampshire Hawks by 8 wickets in their last game. Adam Rossington and Will Buttleman missed out in the last game and the side would need a good show from them here. Michael-Kyle Pepper and Matthew Critchley look in good form and they will look to add runs with Paul Walter and Tom Westley to follow. Daniel Sams and Aron Nijjar did well in the last game with the new ball and similar spells would be needed from them. Harmer is an experienced bowler and the side would like to see him and Samuel Cook do well in this game.
Essex to win Essex Eagles come into this game looking in excellent form. Their bowlers are doing well and this would make the side favorites to win this game.

Birmingham Bears |Carlos Brathwaite’s side has won three games in a row, and they come here with a 5-wicket win against Durham Cricket. Playing at home Brathwaite would like to build on this momentum and exploit Leicestershire’s lack of form. Paul Stirling has done well, and he will have to set up a good opening wicket stand in this game. Robert Yates, Alex Davies, and Adam Hose are good players in the middle order and the side has depth in the batting with Brathwaite and Chris Benjamin in the side. On the bowling front, Henry Brookes and Jacob Bethell shall aim to strike early. Danny Briggs is an experienced bowler and makes it a strong bowling attack along with Craig Miles, Jacob Lintott, and Brathwaite. Leicestershire Foxes |Colin Ackermann’s side has no time to waste. They have lost three out of four games and went down by 42 runs against the Northamptonshire Steelbacks. They are up against a side that has been in excellent form and Ackermann would want his key players to deliver in this game. Scott Steel has done well with the bat but the side would need runs from Hamish Rutherford and Ackermann at the top. Arron Lilley, Ben Mike, and Rishi Patel have to deliver down the order for the side to put up a challenge. Their bowlers had leaked 227 runs in the last game and need to come out of it. Callum Parkinson and Naveen-ul-Haq have to make use of their experience in this game. The likes of Steet, Ben Mike, and Roman Walker have to bowl better lines as they take on a strong batting line-up.
Birmingham to win Birmingham Bears have won all their three games and play at home where they have hardly lost any games in the last few seasons. This would make the side favourites to win this contest.
