Why they can win the competition:\u00a0Middlesex made huge strides in this competition last year winning six group matches to make the knockout stages, demonstrating an ability to win games from unfavourable positions. They\u2019re a different beast in 50-over cricket compared to the Vitality T20 Blast.<\/p>\n
Player to watch:\u00a0Luke Hollman \u2013 the leg-spinning allrounder, Middlesex\u2019s top performer in the Blast, recently expressed his disappointment at missing out on selection for The Hundred. Don\u2019t be surprised if this combative cricketer takes the opportunity to showcase himself to the franchise market.<\/p>\n
Young gun:\u00a0Naavya Sharma \u2013 the 20-year-old seamer built on his Lions\u2019 call-up with impressive performances at the back end of the VitalityT20 Blast. If he can transfer the powerplay and death overs skills he exhibited to the longer white-ball format, he\u2019ll be a match-winner.<\/p>\n
Final thought:\u00a0Even with young stars Caleb Falconer and Sebastian Morgan on The Hundred duty there\u2019s reason for optimism. Middlesex might be a batter light but if the top five fire, the bowling resources are there to spearhead a challenge.<\/p>\n
