THE LOWDOWN
The home team come into this on the back of three of their last four matches being rained off and abandoned; that means the Hampshire Hawks have gone six matches without a win and they’ve managed just one victory all season due to a misfiring middle-order and a lack of wicket takers so far this season - only Mason Crane has taken more than four wickets. They come up against a Surrey side that lost to Glamorgan in a thriller on Tuesday. A one-run defeat saw another excellent Ollie Pope innings and Rory Burns moving up to open from the middle-order.
THE PREDICTION
This is a match between one of the worst sides in the competition so far this season and another team that have generally underwhelmed and underperformed. Surrey look a vastly inferior side without their many England white-ball players but they should come into this as the comfortable favourites regardless of the lack of their availability. They have been much better than Hampshire despite not really catching fire on a consistent basis but should have more than enough to win this one.
