T20 Blast 2019: Middlesex Star Players can start a solid opening against Essex

The performance of Middlesex at 2018 Vitality Blast was very disappointing. They finished their campaign from South division by staying at last position. They were far from the knock out stage and it was such a disgraceful performance by all. The 13 time County champions are determined to turn back from the dire situation. There are a couple of stars who can help them to start a solid opening against Essex.

  • Ab de Villiers

The epitome of short formatted cricket. Ab de Villiers was about to join native country South Africa in the World Cup. Sadly, he failed to make the last cut and spent his time to watch the tournament on TV. Now, its time for him to start fresh again. The attacking batsman is a specialist of T20 cricket and he will surely play his explosive style of cricket in this tournament.

  • Paul Stirling

Irish all-rounder is now a bit of confidence. The reason is his country have beaten Zimbabwe a few days ago and he also performed well against them. His lastest experience vs Zimbabwe will surely play a key to his success in this tournament. He is a player to watch out for Thursday’s game.

  • Steven Finn

The youngest debutant of Middlesex should be in the World Cup. Steven Finn wasn’t in the squad due to his bad form for the past couple of months. Now, it’s time for him to get his pieces together and earn his position at England National Team by performing well. The right-arm pacer also wants to get back his position. This is the place he should perform and prove himself.
