Although this game sees the bottom of the table side up against the one in second, it could very easily to bottom versus top as Surrey are only one point from first place and have a game in hand.
This match always used to be billed as the London derby but the spice of the fixture has disappeared over recent seasons due to Surrey being a far stronger T20 side than Middlesex who seem to have a permanent seat at the foot of South Group.
However, that said, Middlesex did win by 7 wickets with 4 balls remaining in June of last year so if a few things go the way of the hosts early in this game they could go on and succeed.

Middlesex's last game came ended as a no-result but many would say that they got away with it when they looked likely to lose as they were stranded on 113/8 when the rain arrived.
Bowling all-rounder, Martin Andersson, who has been employed as a 'Pinch Hitter' at the top of the order this season, was the only six hitter for Middlesex but he only managed one! Along with captain Stephen Eskinazi, Joe Cracknell, Max Holden and Ryan Higgins will be expected to produce the runs in this game.
With the ball, Tom Helm, Henry Brookes and Noah Cornwell are likely to be the most dangerous for the hosts.

Surrey always seem to produce a quality squad in any format of international standard players and even with the T20 World Cup now into the Super Eights phase we will still see a very strong side selected.
Dan Lawrence, Ollie Pope and Laurie Evans are all naturally attacking players and it is Evans who comes into this game in excellent form after hitting five fours and two sixes in the last fixture.
With the ball, there is just as much quality and the entire bowling attack of Spencer Johnson, Gus Atkinson, Sean Abbott, Tom Curran and Dan Lawrence all picked up at least one wicket in the last game.

Cloudy conditions are forecast throughout the evening in North London with the temperature expected to drop from 19 degrees to 15. However, there should not be any rain or interruptions to the match.
Lord's continues to produce strong batting wickets and we can expect more of the same in North London on Thursday night. There will be some turn for the spinners but we would expect the pace bowlers to have the better of the conditions. A par total will be no higher than 165.
With conditions set to become more humid as the game progresses, we predict that both captains will want to field first in this match at Lord's.
Although it was Middlesex who won the last head to head, it is Surrey who will arrive at Lord's with better players with more experience in all positions. We are expecting a one-sided match with the visitors coming out on top.
We are backing Surrey to win this game!
