It is still early days in the South Group and, with the exception of Surrey who sit proudly at the top of the table with three wins from three games, the table is very congested.
Gloucestershire, the hosts on Friday evening, sit in third place with the Hawks two places below them but only due to an inferior net-run-rate.
Middlesex have struggled to compete at this level over recent seasons and are already bottom of the league as the only winless side.
This looks set to be an exciting clash with the winner set to jump into the top two places.

Although they were beaten by Sussex Sharks in the last game, it was very nearly two wins from two for Gloucestershire who lost on the final ball.
With the bat, Miles Hammond, Australian Cameron Bancroft, captain Jack Taylor and Ben Charlesworth will come into this game in strong form and keeper-batter James Bracey is always capable of turning on the style at a moments notice. We can always expect some big-hitting from Marchant de Lange in the lower-middle order as well.
With the ball, Oliver Price was the only bowler to go wicketless against Sussex and the opening pair of David Payne with Matt Taylor are likely to cause problems with the new ball again in this game.

Any T20 side with Australian keeper-batter Ben McDermott and former all-format England international James Vince at the top of the order will not go on a particularly long losing streak. And so it proved for Hampshire Hawks who saw the pair put on 53 for the first wicket in their win over Kent Spitfires earlier this month. Joe Weatherley (49) and James Fuller (30) also made useful contributions and will be confident if they come to the wicket in Bristol.
With the ball, the attack containing Michael Neser, John Turner, Benny Howell, James Fuller and Liam Dawson is varied and talented.

The County Ground has played host to many classic white ball contests across the years and the pitch always offers something for bowlers and batters. Whoever bats first will want to post a total around 180 to be in the driving seat.
Conditions look likely to best for batting in the first half of the evening in Bristol so we predict that both sides will want to bat first and will do so if they win the toss.
Gloucestershire have some good players in all positions but we think that Hampshire Hawks have the stronger squad. Particularly at the top of the order with the bat, Ben McDermott and James Vince would not look out of place at the T20 World Cup! We are predicting a win for Hampshire Hawks.
