The County Championships 2021: SUR vs MID preview

Round 7 of the English County Championships 2021 will see Surrey County go up against Middlesex County on May 20. Surrey have had a decent run at the tournament, winning one, drawing three and losing two of their games to sit in 4th place in Group 2. Having drawn their last two games due to rain interruptions, Surrey are out of contention for a spot in the playoffs for the Bob Willis Trophy 2021. Meanwhile, with five losses and just the sole win, Middlesex are in 5th place on the table. Their only win in the tournament came against Surrey, in April, when they won by 10 wickets.

SUR vs MID player record

With 518 runs from six matches, Ollie Pope is the highest scorer for Surrey County and the 5th highest scorer in the tournament so far. Jordan Clark remains the bowler of choice for the side, with 14 wickets in the tournament so far. With 386 runs from six matches, Sam Robson is the best batsman for Middlesex County while Tim Murtagh - 7th overall - tops the list as the best bowler for the side with 25 wickets from five games.
