Every year, people wait for Final’s Day in the Vitality T20 Blast and we’re back to that day again today. In Semi Final 1, we have Surrey County in action who are favourites and they’ve been flawless in recent matches coming into the knockout stages. They had an easy 56-run victory against Kent in their quarter final and had 5 consecutive wins prior to that as well in the 2020 T20 Blast.
Today, they’re up against Gloucestershire who have also had a good run and a crushing 7-wicket victory in their quarter final game against Northants. They’ve had just a single loss in their last 5 games and have in fact had an edge over Surrey in recent head to head games.

Surrey County
It’s been a brilliant T20 Blast 2020 for Laurie Evans and though he got only 7 runs in the quarter final, he should be picked in your SUR vs GLO fantasy team because he’s been brilliant with the bat, with 3 fifties in his last 4 games prior to that. And while Evans is the leader with the bat, Dan Moriarty is the leader with the ball, with 15 scalps in 11 games so far, so we should pick both these players.
Now let’s look at less popular players who can bring us good value. Hashim Amla has two fifties in his last 3 games this season while Jason Roy has got two consecutive fifties too. If you have the budget pick both, or else go in for Roy only since he has more hunger to score runs after some poor form in the international circuit. A top order batsman who picked a 4-fer in the last game and has 4 fifties this season, Will Jacks could be your fantasy captain.
Gloucestershire
On the batting front, Ian Cockbain is someone you just can’t miss because he’s been super consistent with 399 runs in 10 games this season while having 3 fifties as well. Another person closely behind him on the run scoring charts is Chris Dent and you can probably pick them both today. Miles Hammond also opens the batting but he hasn’t been able to convert starts to big scores.

Another good captain or vice-captain pick for your Nostragamus (Use “READSCOOPS” for Rs.100 FREE) fantasy team is Ryan Higgins who bats in the higher middle order and almost always has a bowl, picking 3 wickets in the last game too. Talking about picking wickets, Benny Howell got 3/16 in the last game and he’s not someone you want to miss because he’s super experienced.
