MID vs ESS Match 62 T20 Blast Predictions & Betting Tips

Middlesex will play against Essex in the 62nd match of the Vitality T20 Blast, 2021 which will be hosted at the Lord's in London on Thursday, June 24. I have accumulated the best of the three betting tips from the MID vs ESS match prediction for you.

Essex Eagles are placed in the seventh spot in the Vitality T20 Blast 2021 South group. They have two wins and 4 losses from their 7 league games with 5 points to themselves. Middlesex Panthers, on the other hand, are languishing at the rock-bottom of the South group points table. The team has secured only one win this season from their five matches of the league. They are among the three bottom placed teams this season. Both the teams have played 30 matches against each other, in which Essex have won 15 matches while two matches were abandoned.

Middlesex come into this fixture off a 21-run defeat away at Glamorgan. Middlesex's only victory so far came at their alternate home venue as they chased down Hampshire’s 215 to secure a 3 wicket win. However, they will be missing out on two key players, Eoin Morgan and Paul Stirking as they get called for international duties. The Essex come into this game with confidence of an away victory against Surrey in a game severely affected by the rain the the match was redacted to 17 overs per side. The Eagles will fancy their chances of taking vital points, while MIddlesex will need a win to try and lift them up. Meanwhile as the teams meet for the first time this season, take a look at the top three betting tips collated from the MID vs ESS match prediction.

MID vs ESS Player Bets:

With two of the potential players not being available for the league game, I have managed to pick the next best players in line. Take a look at the top MID vs ESS player betting tips.

William Buttleman To Score Over 18.5 Runs

Essex's efforts with the bat starts with William Buttleman - who is coming off a half-century against Surrey. This is debut season in the T20 Blast as well as for Essex Eagles. The 21-year-old is the top run scorer for Essex from the five innings played. He currently averages 32.00 with 128 runs to his name. Buttleman’s scores in the five innings played are - 56*, 8, 26, 36, and 2. His highest runs this season came in the last match against Surrey where he was unbeaten at 56 off 51 balls.

The opening batsman made his debut in Essex’s 2019 Championship winning season. The right-handed batsman has achieved the targeted 18 runs in three of the five matches played. He made his T20 domestic debut for the team in 2021 against Hampshire in the ongoing tournament. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for William Buttleman to score over 18.5 runs in the MID vs ESS match prediction.

Joe Cracknell To Score Over 20.5 Runs

The next batsman in line is the developing talent of Middlesex, Joe Cracknell. The 21-year-old comes out to bat in the third position for Middlesex. Cracknell has only been a part of three games for Middlesex this season and is the highest run-scorer for the team. The Middlesex born right-handed batsman has played 8 matches for his home team and made 277 runs at 34.62.

He has currently piled up 148 runs from three league matches played and averages at 49.33. His scores in these three innings are - 4, 67 and 77. His highest runs came against Hampshire, which was the teams only win this season. He added 77 runs to the teams scoreboard off 43 balls played and emerged as the Player of the Match. This is Cracknell's second T20 Blast match of his career. In the earlier season of the T20 Blast, he made 123 runs from 4 matches at 30.75. Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 1.87 for Joe Cracknell to score over 20.5 runs in the MID vs ESS match prediction.

MID vs ESS Team Bets:

The winner bets are in favour of Essex for obvious reasons, but looking at the current performances of both the teams I have managed to pick one team bet from the upcoming match for an assured win. Below mentioned is the top MID vs ESS team betting tips.

Essex To Hit Most Match 4’s

Middlesex are having a disastrous T20 Blast campaign thus far. Essex will hope to continue their winning momentum against an off-form Middlesex. Hence, Essex would be our favourite in the forthcoming fixture. Essex has played one match more than Middlesex in the current season and piled up more smaller boundaries than their opponent. From their six match game, Essex has 81 fours which stands at an average of 13.5 fours per match.

While in the five matches that Middlesex has played they have scored 67 fours at 13.4 fours per match. Even if by a slight margin, Essex still has an upper hand in the forthcoming fixture. Essex has batsmen like Buttleman, James Neesham, Simon Harmer and Paul Walter who have individually put in 17, 12, 10 & 10 fours each to the teams score. While Middlesex is solely dependent on Cracknell who has added 18 fours and Paul Stirling who has added 11 fours. However Stirling will not be a part of the league games going forward. Sportsbet.io has offered betting odds of 1.93 for Essex to hit most match 4’s in the MID vs ESS match prediction.
