Surrey vs Northamptonshire Steelbacks prediction

For the second year running, Surrey finished top of the T20 Blast South Group and secure a home quarter-final. They beat Durham by five wickets in 2024 and this time around its Northampton Steelbacks who stand in their way. The fourth-placed finishers in the North Group boasts plenty of high-level experience in the form of David Willey and Ravi Bopara. But a hamstring injury to Matt Breetzke is a big blow for the Steelbacks.

For Surrey, they’ll be able to call upon plenty of their domestic heavy hitters despite a number of England call-ups. The Curran brothers are lynchpins of this side along with Dan Lawrence and Jason Roy. Ollie Pope, Chris Jordan and Reece Topley are other notable names that underline what a strong team Surrey have. At the Kia Oval, you would expect them to win this one, despite the unpredictable nature of T20 cricket.
