A crowd of over 20,000 is expected at The Oval for Surrey's last home group game which will be a must win match if their quarter-final chances are to remain alive.

The sold out match is a major boost not just to Surrey but also for Twenty20 cricket in general, with the football World Cup predicted to drive crowds away from all forms of cricket for the duration of the tournament.
