🏏 Surrey County Cricket Club take on Warwickshire at The Kia Oval. It’s the hosts third home match of the season as they continue their defence of their LV= Insurance County Championship Division One title. See below for the latest ticket information.
Surrey are back for another season of County Championship action with a hat-trick on their minds. Last summer the Division One title race went to the wire when the Three Feathers successfully saw off the threat of Essex to defend the title they won in 2022. See below for Surrey County Cricket Club tickets information.
The last time the Kia Oval won back-to-back Division One titles was 1999-2000. This season history beckons if they can bring up an unprecedented three titles in a row. And it’s so far so good for Surrey who are top of the table after their opening four matches.
This week’s match against Warwickshire is the second of three back-to-back County Championship matches at the Oval. Worcestershire are next up to face the champions. They visit south London for a four-day showdown starting on Friday 17 May.
MATCH BUILD-UP
Surrey head into their showdown with third-placed Warwickshire in fine form after a thumping victory over Hampshire last time out. The champions won by an innings and 11 runs. Don Worrall starred with impressive figures of five for 47 on the final day, while Ollie Pope equalled the Surrey record for most outfield catches in a first-class match. Pope took six catches in the second innings and a total of eight in the game.
The win took Surrey to the Division One summit after two wins and two draws from their opening four matches. The Oval side are level on 71 points with Essex. Warwickshire, their opponents this week, are third in the table on 55 points.
ONES TO WATCH
Captain Rory Burns and Vice Captain Dom Sibley (who make a formidable opening pair with the bat) lead a strong nucleus of experienced players in the Surrey team this season. Joining them from Essex is Dan Lawrence, who is aiming to impress with the bat for the Three Feathers and force himself into the England team reckoning. Overseas stars Sean Abbott and Kemar Roach return to SE11 for another campaign.
Ten teams in total feature in Division One. Surrey are joined by Essex, Durham, Hampshire, Kent, Northamptonshire, Lancashire, Somerset, Worcestshire and Warwickshire.
