Surrey, who finished the group stages as table toppers, will be switched on.
TEAMS PREVIEW
Surrey Preview
Surrey, given their incredible run, are red-hot favourites to make it through to the semis. They look like a well-knit unit, having pulled through setbacks and dominated the opposition in most of their matches, especially in their own backyard. Jamie Smith, Will Jacks, and Sam Curran in particular have been in brilliant form, and so has been Laurie Evans and Dom Sibley.
Durham Preview
Durham lost both its opening two bouts but quickly bounced back to win two in a row. Just when Durham started to look a bit settled, another loss ensued. The following match was rained out, leaving Durham to quickly rack up a few wins with the threat if elimination looming large. But a hat trick of victories against Lancashire, Yorkshire and Worcestershire back home gave Durham a fresh lease of life and they jumped back into contention. But back to back sub-par displays with the bat meant Durham had nothing to fight with, and they conceded a big defeat to Northamptonshire and Yorkshire away from home.
Weather Conditions
The wicket has not been as placid as we know it to be, but still that hasnβt deterred the batsmen from going out there and having fun. Both batsmen and bowlers have found success in equal measure in these wickets at the Oval this season, and we might see another good contest between the bat and ball in the quarterfinals where anything more than 165 should be competitive. The forecast suggests that we might see some showery weather in the morning, and that there may be some significant cloud cover throughout.
