Last Meeting

The two sides last met on September 17, 2016, at Lord’s, in the final of the tournament that year. Batting first, Surrey got off to a steady start, with an opening stand of 45. However, from a relatively comfortable position of 99 for two in 25 overs, Surrey inexplicably collapsed to be bowled out for 136 in 40.1 overs. Rory Burns made a top score with his 40 from 83 balls. There were cameos from Jason Roy, Steven Davies and Kumar Sangakkara, but no other useful contributions in the Surrey innings. For Warwickshire, Chris Woakes, Atiq Javid, Oliver Hannon-Dalby and Jiten Patel took two wickets each and Chris Wright took one.

Warwickshire began their reply with a 45-run opening; another useful stand of 44 for the second wicket put them in a very comfortable position by the 23rd over. They went on to register an eight-wicket win with nearly 20 overs to spare. Jonathan Trott was their top scorer with 82 from hundred balls. For Surrey, Stewart Meaker and Zafar Ansari took one wicket each.
