Team Previews
Derbyshire Preview
Derbyshire have had a shaky campaign so far, managing just one win from four games. However, they showed resilience in their previous match against Leicestershire, which ended in a tie. Batting has been their stronger suit, with Harry Came leading from the front with a well-compiled 67 off 72 balls. Caleb Jewell added crucial top-order runs, while Matthew Montgomery (47) and Anuj Dal (45 off 32) played valuable hands in the middle order. Zak Chappell also impressed with his aggressive 49, rescuing the team under pressure.
Bowling remains a concern but is steadily improving. Zak Chappell, Jack Morley, and Ben Aitchison continue to provide breakthroughs, while Anuj Dal’s all-round contribution adds balance. For Derbyshire to dominate, consistency in both batting and bowling departments will be key.
Probable Playing XI – Derbyshire
Brooke Guest (c & wk), Caleb Jewell, Ross Whiteley, Amrit Basra/Anuj Dal, Harry Came, Martin Andersson, Matthew Montgomery, Rory Haydon, Ben Aitchison, Jack Morley, Zak Chappell.
Surrey Preview
Surrey’s tournament hasn’t gone as planned, with their latest game ending in a collapse against Hampshire. Bowled out for just 160, their batting looked fragile. Experienced Rory Burns and Ben Foakes will be crucial to their revival, while youngsters like Ollie Sykes, Adam Thomas, and Josh Blake need to step up.
Bowling-wise, Surrey rely heavily on Cameron Steel and Alex French to deliver breakthroughs. James Phillip and Nathan Barnwell bring variety, but lack of consistency has hurt them. Against Derbyshire’s strong batting unit, their bowling will need to be much more disciplined.
Probable Playing XI – Surrey
Ben Foakes (c), Rory Burns, Adam Thomas, Nikhil Gorantla, Ollie Sykes, Cameron Steel, Josh Blake, James Phillip, Arthur Taylor, Yousef Majid, Nathan Barnwell, Alex French.

Favourite Team in Today’s Match
Derbyshire enter this contest as favorites due to their well-rounded squad and improved performance in recent games. Their batting lineup is in much better shape than Surrey’s, with multiple players contributing runs consistently. The likes of Harry Came, Caleb Jewell, and Anuj Dal provide stability, while Zak Chappell offers explosive late runs and wicket-taking ability. Surrey, on the other hand, have struggled with both bat and ball, often crumbling under pressure. Unless their senior players like Rory Burns and Ben Foakes deliver a standout performance, they may struggle once again. Derbyshire’s home advantage at Derby further tilts the game in their favor.
