Surrey vs Essex Prediction
Essex’s bowlers have struggled to contain batting sides in this tournament and Surrey’s batting is packed full of class to exploit any weakness they might find. Surrey will be looking to bowlers Jade Dernbach and Tom Curran, the latter having been superb with the ball at the death and in the powerplay.
Surrey vs Essex Betting Tips
Aaron Finch has been in sublime form in this year’s Blast and look for him to continue that run-scoring in this match. Mohammed Amir is the best bowler Essex have, and his side will be heavily reliant on the Left-armer from Pakistan to restrict the talented Surrey order.
