The two South Group sides will face off this time around again in what will be another enthralling match of the English T20 Blast. Middlesex is at present at number 3 in the table and has won 6 of their 10 matches. On the other hand, Hampshire is at number 6 in the table and have won 3 of their 10 games. With only 3 wins from their 10 games, Hampshire has put themselves in a do-or-die state of affairs, which actually means Hampshire have to win all their remaining 4 matches. Middlesex will need to win only two of the remaining four to seal their spot in the quarter-final. Both the teams will look to capitalize on a win as the season will soon come to its conclusion. Let us look at what could become the HAM vs MID Dream11.
Match details: 22/08 – 10:45 PM IST South Group (N), Vitality Blast at Lord’s, Aug 22, 2019
Head to Head (last five matches)
HAM won: 3 MID won: 2 Draw: 1
Team news:
Weather Condition/Report: Clear weather is predictable for the match at the Lord’s. The weather forecast suggested no chances of rain and a complete 40-over game is anticipated.
Pitch Condition/Report: The one-day matches and the Test matches that Lord’s hosted in 2019 have all been on the slower tracks. However, it has been a different scenario all in all in the T20 Blast at this venue. The season began with a relaxed 160+ chase while the sides batting first scored 200+ in the earlier two matches. The team winning the toss would look to bat first and post 180+ at least. It could be sufficient to preserve with the pitch gets slower towards the end of the match.
