Surrey vs Glamorgan Team Preview & Squads

Surrey

Fueled by Sam Curran’s intensity and fighting mindset, SUR consistently performs at a high level. His tactical awareness and all-around skills make him an asset in pressure situations. Under his captaincy, Surrey has maintained a competitive edge throughout the tournament.

Surrey’s batting line-up is deep and explosive, starting with Jason Roy and Will Jacks and followed by dependable middle-order players like Ollie Pope, Ben Foakes, and Laurie Evans. Sam Curran, Dan Lawrence, and Jamie Smith offer plenty of flexibility and finishing firepower. 

This Surrey attack doesn’t knock—it kicks the front door down with seam and spin in perfect sync. Chris Jordan, Sean Abbott, and Reece Topley provide international-quality seam bowling. Spin threats like Cameron Steel and Will Jacks add variety, while Tom Curran and Gus Atkinson strengthen the depth in death overs.

Batting first, they posted an impressive 193/7 on the board with solid contributions from the top order. The bowlers maintained pressure throughout the innings, restricting Gloucestershire to 165/9.

Glamorgan

Kiran Carlson isn’t just a run-maker; he’s a pulse-reader, navigating GLA’s battles with grit and a game sense you can’t teach. While still young, he’s been trusted with key responsibilities, both with the bat and as a tactical leader. 

The backbone of Glamorgan’s batting rests with seasoned players such as Marnus Labuschagne, Colin Ingram, and Sam Northeast. They have quality but often lack consistency in the middle order. Billy Root and Carlson can stabilize innings, but the lack of firepower at the backend remains a concern.

The bowling attack is a mix of experience and emerging talent, with Timm van der Gugten and James Harris providing control. Mason Crane and Prem Sisodiya are the key spin options, but they have leaked runs under pressure.

In their last outing on July 10, 2025, GLA faced a heavy defeat at the hands of Hampshire. The bowlers were taken to the cleaners as Hampshire posted 208/4 in 20 overs. The scoreboard flatlined at 113, as if the batting order had collectively hit snooze on their innings. The 95-run loss has dented their net run rate and shaken team morale.

Glamorgan

Mason Crane, Timm van der Gugten, James Harris, Billy Root, Chris Cooke, Sam Northeast, Colin Ingram, Ollie Rayner, Harry Podmore, Andy Gorvin, Eddie Byrom, Jamie McIlroy, Kiran Carlson (C), Daniel Douthwaite, Marnus Labuschagne, Chris Sole, Prem Sisodiya, William Smale, Alex Horton (wk), Zain ul Hassan, Asa Tribe, Tom Bevan, Ben Morris, Benjamin Kellaway, Henry Hurle, Tom Norton.
