THE LOWDOWN
The home team come into this on the back of a wash out against the Hampshire Hawks which the underperforming and underwhelming hosts will probably be happy with because at least they didn’t lose. A shining light for Middlesex in a disappointing Blast campaign was Stephen Eskinazi’s unbeaten century last week against Surrey. They come up against a Sussex Sharks who could field Chris Jordan alongside Tymal Mills in an impressive bowling lineup supplemented by an excellent top-order that includes Phil Salt, Luke Wright, Travis Head and Ravi Bopara.
THE PREDICTION
This is a match between one of the worst sides in the whole of the competition and another that have been very good. The Sharks will be confident of securing qualification for the knockouts in the next week or so and will take a huge step towards that with a victory in this one. An away win is the favoured result for this.
