Middlesex vs Essex Eagles Preview

• The batter that Essex will want to watch out for is Michael Pepper.

 

In the Vitality Blast of 2022, Middlesex will compete against Essex Eagles. On Thursday, June 23, the match will begin at 18:15 local time at Lord’s London.

On Tuesday night, as part of a disappointing journey to South Wales, Middlesex lost to Glamorgan by an innings and 8 wickets. Glamorgan had no trouble adding runs after scoring 171-7; they reached their goal with 34 remaining balls. Middlesex now sits in seventh place in the South Group, three points behind the Essex Eagles, who they played today. In his opening performance against Glamorgan, Max Holden scored 58 runs off of 51 balls while Luke Hollman and Jason Behrendorff each claimed a wicket.

In front of their home crowd in Chelmsford, the Essex Eagles fell to Somerset on Sunday by an innings and 8 wickets. The margin of defeat was a surprise as a win for the Eagles would have meant that they would have jumped over Somerset in the South Group and moved up to second. Paul Walter made 58 runs from 29 balls and provided solid support for Michael Pepper, who scored 86 not out from 49 balls. The Eagles were defeated with 15 deliveries left despite Daniel Sams taking 1-29 from 4 overs, therefore it was not enough.
