MID vs SUS: Fan2Play Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for T20 Blast 2021, South Group

Match Details

The upcoming South Group clash of T20 Blast 2021 will see Middlesex taking on Sussex. This match will take place at the iconic Lord’s Cricket Ground in London.

This encounter will be played on July 1 (Thursday) at 10:45 PM IST.

Preview

Sussex haven’t been able to do much this season as five of their first nine clashes have been washed out due to rain. However, they have done reasonably well in their other four games, winning three and losing just one. Hence, they would back themselves to emerge victorious in the upcoming game if rain doesn’t play spoilsport again.

On the other hand, Middlesex have had a rather disappointing campaign so far and they would be looking for a change of fortunes. Steven Finn’s men have won just two of their nine fixtures and are subsequently reeling at the penultimate place in the team standings. Hence, they need to buckle up with the tournament heading towards its second stage.

Captaincy Picks for MID vs SUS

Philip Salt

The wicketkeeper-batsman has impressed one and all this season and would be raring to shine against Middlesex. Philip Salt can go after the bowlers from the outset and can also play big knocks. So far, he has scored 193 runs in six games at a sensational strike rate of 150.78. Not to forget, he has also been excellent behind the stumps.

Tymal Mills

Another player who can make a mark in this contest is Sussex pacer Tymal Mills. The left-arm fast bowler can set the speed-o-meter on fire and the bucket of variations in his armoury makes him even more lethal. He has so far scalped nine wickets in five games at an impressive economy rate of 7.35.
