Northamptonshire vs Kent Betting Tips

Kent to score high before first dismissal

Kent’s first wicket was struggling at the start of the season where Jaydn Denly was opening alongside Ben Compton. In the two matches that they played, they secured single digit totals of seven and eight runs. However, when the latter was replaced by BJ Dawkins in the previous three encounters, their opening stands improved a great deal as they set up scores of 18, 155 and 52 runs. They are expected to keep up the momentum as they take on Northamptonshire.

Northamptonshire vs Kent Toss Prediction

County Ground in Northampton has seen a shared 1-1 record between the teams batting and fielding first in the two matches played here this season. The toss winners, though, elected to bat first on both occasions and the average first innings score of 335 is quite competitive. This makes it the top choice in the upcoming game as well.

Northamptonshire vs Kent Best Batters

James Sales to be Northamptonshire’s Best Batter

James Sales has participated in two matches in the present tournament and he was the top scorer on both occasions. In the last game against Sussex, he missed out on a second ton as he was dismissed on 98. However, he remains their leading batter overall with 215 runs in two innings and a brilliant average of 107.50, making him the top pick for the next game as well.

Ben Dawkins to be Kent’s Best Batter

Ben Dawkins missed out on a half-century by two runs in the previous encounter against Middlesex, having scored 48 runs. He is among the top batters for Kent so far with 141 runs in three innings and an average of 47.00. Based on the form he has shown, he is the top choice for the upcoming fixture.

Northamptonshire vs Kent Best Bowlers

Liam Guthrie to be Northamptonshire’s Best Bowler

Liam Guthrie delivered seven overs in the previous outing against Sussex where he went wicketless and achieved an economy rate of 6.42. However, he stands as their top wicket-taker in the tournament with seven wickets in four innings. Although his average of 33.71 is rather high, he is expected to come out on top against Kent.

Michael Cohen to be Kent’s Best Bowler

In the last game versus Middlesex, Michael Cohen was the joint leading bowler for Kent as he captured one wicket in nine overs and an economy rate of 7.44. He is their second highest wicket-taker overall with five wickets in four innings, and despite his unfavorable average of 42.60, he is anticipated to be their premier bowler in the next game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire and Kent are the bottom-most teams in the Group B standings as they occupy eighth and ninth place, respectively. The former have one victory, three losses and one abandoned game along with a terrible net run rate of -0.665. The Harry Finch-led side are worse-off with a single win and four defeats so far, and their net run rate of -0.665 is not promising in the slightest. The Northampton-based team are slated to emerge victorious in the next game.
