Toss Winner	Middlesex
Match Winner	Sussex

If Middlesex win the toss and elect to bat first, then Sussex could put on a solid batting display and could even post a total above the 180-run mark.

Middlesex have not been at their absolute best with the bat and there is a higher possibility that they could falter in the run chase, leading to a victory for Sussex.
