THE PREDICTION
Neither of these two sides will qualify for the knockout stages, so this South Group fixture is very much a dead rubber between Essex Eagles and Middlesex. The visitors are in a battle to avoid finishing bottom of the table and that will supply them with motivation to try and win this match. However, Essex Eagles are expected to have England international Dan Lawrence back available following the recent ODI series vs Pakistan and the hosts are a significantly better side with Lawrence in the team. The top order batter made a half century in the reverse fixture at Lord’s, which saw the Eagles win off the final ball and his presence should help lead Simon Harmer’s men to victory once again vs Middlesex in this one.
