Surrey face Gloucestershire in a Cheltenham sell-out with a strong chance of qualifying for the NatWest T20 Blast quarter-finals today.
Even if second-placed Surrey lose, other results in the South Group this evening could send Gary Wilson’s side into the last eight with two games to spare.
Last year’s runners-up welcome back England limited-overs international seamer Jade Dernbach from a hamstring strain. They again have Kevin Pietersen available.
Gloucestershire, who sit eighth, have little chance of making the knockout stage.
The relative fortunes of batsmen Ian Cockbain and Jason Roy, the competition’s leading scorer, will be crucial to the game’s outcome.
* Hamish Marshall needs 31 runs to become the first player to score 2,000 Twenty20 runs for Gloucestershire.
