Surrey vs Northamptonshire: Chances of Winning
Will Jacks will not feature for Surrey in this game as he is away on England duty, having played in the opening ODI against South Africa in Leeds just a day earlier. This creates an opportunity at the top of the order, and we expect the experienced Jason Roy to step in and take on the role.
Northants Steelbacks started their North Group campaign with six straight wins, but then lost five in a row and six of their final eight games. As a result, they enter this quarter-final against strong opposition without much momentum, following a heavy nine-wicket loss to Durham in the group stage.
Surrey`s chance of winning - 66%

Northamptonshire Preview
David Willey was the standout player for Northants in that win and is expected to play a key role again, both with bat and ball, as they take on a strong Surrey side. However, their squad has plenty of experience, with David Willey and Ravi Bopara bringing valuable international experience. Matthew Breetzke will lead the batting, while Ben Sanderson and George Scrimshaw are likely to spearhead the bowling attack with the new ball.
