Surrey moved to the top of the South Group in the T20 blast, with an eight -run win over Middlesex at Lord’s.
In the first six overs between Will Jack, a inaugural partnership of 66, who scored the top with 52, and Ryan Patel left Surre for a quick start to bat first.
Tom Curan scored 47 runs off 22 balls before being rejected by Ryan Higgins (4-33), as the visitors posted 189–9 from their 20 overs.
Stavee Eskenazi (53) and Captain Leus Do Ploy (29) led the Middlesex’s chase, but the two fell into the same Chris Jordan to indicate the end of their hopes of victory.
Du Ploy was narrowly run by a straight hit, before Eskanazi was caught later on two balls.
Some of the big hittings of Luke Hallman (32 Not Out) gave Surrey late nervous moments, but their efforts came very late as Middlesex decreased at 181–6.
