T20 Blast | GLA vs MID | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Glamorgan and Middlesex will lock horns in Match 91 of T20 Blast 2022 on June 21 (Tuesday) at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff.

Glamorgan have three wins in 10 league matches and are positioned sixth in the points table. In their last game, Welsh Dragons restricted the opposition to 149, Michael Neser picking up three wickets, while Andrew Salter continued his form to dismiss two players. 

Then Colin Ingram (57) and Sam Northeast (35) were clinical with their efforts to help the team in chasing down the score, with a single over to spare. The team management has kept the team unchanged for a clash, which will be a must win for them in terms of momentum and position in the table. They would expect David Lloyd and Kiran Carlson to be the key contributors. 

On the other hand, Middlesex have four wins in 10 league matches, and their performances have been average as well. In the last outing, the likes of Helm, Andersson, and Green scalped two wickets, and the opposition could post only 141 on the board. 

Thereafter, the knocks of Joe Cracknell (43*) and John Simpson (46) paved the way for the team to chase down the score, with 15 balls to spare. They have also announced an unchanged squad for this game, and will look to get a couple of wins under their belt and seal the places in the quarter-finals.
