HAM vs SUR Match Preview :
HAM vs SUR Surrey will face Hampshire at the Rose Bowl in Southampton on Wednesday in the T20 Blast 2021’s South Group.
Surrey have suffered numerous defeats after a promising start to their T20 Blast season, sliding to fourth place in the points standings. Surrey will enter the game on the heels of a disappointing loss to Glamorgan on Tuesday, despite having a decent mix of youth and experience. With only a few games remaining in the campaign, they will be looking to get back on track.
Hampshire’s opponents are near the bottom of the standings, but they still have a chance to finish in the top four. From here on out, they’ll need to win all of their remaining games, and the pair of James Vince and D’Arcy Short will be crucial to their success. Despite the fact that their bowling has been hit or miss this season, the acquisition of Colin de Grandhomme should provide some variation.
On paper, the two sides appear to be similarly matched, although Surrey may have the upper hand due to their recent play. Another exciting T20 Blast game awaits in the Rose Bowl, with two crucial points on the line.

Pitch Report
As seen in the third T20I between England and Sri Lanka, a decent batting track is expected for today’s T20 Blast game. Although the ball should skid nicely on to the bat, the batsmen should be wary of the extra bounce and movement off the surface. As the match progresses, the spinners will come into play, paving the way for an exciting contest in the middle overs. Both teams will look to chase upon winning the toss, with 170 being a competitive total at the venue.
