The Essex Eagles are finding their way into a good position in the South Group in the T20 Blast as they now take on a poor Middlesex side at Chelmsford on Sunday.

Date & time:

Venue: County Ground, Chelmsford, England

Weather: Warm weather with possible cloud

How to watch: UK – Some matches will be televised on Sky Sports and can be streamed on Sky Go, while others can be streamed live on the official websites and YouTube channels of each competing team

Essex Eagles vs Middlesex prediction

The Essex Eagles come into this one on the back of an impressive 100-run victory against the Sussex Sharks at Hove, posting 204-6 before skittling the Sharks in 17.3 overs. That leaves them sitting third in the South Group behind strong sides Surrey and the Hampshire Hawks

Middlesex are not a strong side. In fact, of any franchise, club or international team to have played 50 games in the Twenty20 format, no team has a worse record than Middlesex. 

That has continued into this campaign with the worst record in the country of one win and seven defeats – and a comfortable Essex victory is expected on Sunday.

Essex Eagles vs Middlesex tip: Essex Eagles to win
