Sussex vs Kent Chances of Winning

Sussex are already on the backfoot as they lost to Durham by a massive margin in the previous encounter in the tournament. The latter posted a daunting score of 310 runs which Sussex had a difficult time chasing down; after the entire top order were rendered ineffective, Fynn Hudson-Prentice and Oli Carter brought some stability to the innings with scores of 44 and 38 runs, respectively. Danny Lamb did his best to help by adding 74 runs to the tally but with no assistance from the rest of the lineup, the team collapsed with 259 runs on the board which resulted in a 51-run defeat.

Kent were the worst-performing team in the County Championship Division Two but their last match against Leicestershire showed that they still had a spark of competitiveness. After allowing the latter to score 471 runs, Kent were 445/8 during their chase. Opener Ben Compton did half the work on his own with a 221-run knock while Harry Finch and Tawanda Muyeye were next in line with 54* and 46 runs, respectively. However, at this juncture, the match had to be called off due to a lack of time and the sides were forced into a draw.

Sussex vs Kent Betting Tips

Sussex to score under 23.5 before first dismissal @ 1.83 (Parimatch)

Tom Haines remains the mainstay opener for Sussex in the present tournament as well while his County partner, Daniel Hughes, was replaced by Danial Ibrahim in the last game against Durham. This made no difference to their performance, though, considering their score of nine runs was not compelling. In the last five County matches, the pair set up stands of 19, 12, 28, 3, 98, 9, 0, 11 and 10 runs. Since their form has been substandard to say the least, they are not expected to be competitive in the upcoming game either.

Sussex vs Kent Toss Prediction

Three One Day International matches have been played at Arundel Castle Cricket Club Ground so far and the chasing sides have a clean sweep with three victories. The average first innings score of 131 is ridiculously low and is not the slightest bit competitive. This makes fielding first a rather obvious choice for the toss winner of the next match.

Weather Report

With the temperature going up to 20 degrees Celsius, mostly cloudy conditions are expected at Arundel with a minimal 20% chance of rain.

Predicted Playing XI

Sussex Team Form

Sussex’s top order is their greatest weakness in the tournament and there is room for improvement in their batting.

Kent Player List

Ben Compton, Ben Dawkins, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Ekansh Singh, Jaydn Denly, Joe Denly, Tawanda Muyeye, Zak Crawley, Corey Flintoff, Grant Stewart, Jack Leaning, Joey Evison, Marcus O'Riordan, Tom Rogers, Chris Benjamin, Harry Finch, Sam Billings, Fred Klaassen, George Garrett, Jaskaran Singh, Kashif Ali, Keith Dudgeon, Matt Parkinson, Matt Quinn, Michael Cohen, Nathan Gilchrist, Wes Agar, Will Harby.

Predicted Playing XI

Kent Team Form

Kent’s batting performances in the Division Two were inconsistent and that puts them at a disadvantage.

Sussex vs Kent Head-to-Head

Sussex have a massive upper hand over Kent in the last five head-to-head games, having won three matches while the latter have a single victory.

Sussex vs Kent Betting Odds

Kent to have a better opening partnership than Sussex @ 1.71 (Parimatch)

Danial Ibrahim and Tom Haines opened for Sussex in the previous game against Durham where they scored nine runs together before the former lost his wicket. They were not particularly fruitful in the County Championship either where they added 19, 12, 28, 3 and 98 runs to the first wicket in the last three games. On the contrary, Kent’s openers were significantly better in the previous three matches of the tournament with totals of 52, 37, 62, 46 and 2 runs together. The bookmakers are certain the latter have a better shot at achieving a superior first partnership in the next match.

Sussex vs Kent Best Batters

Tom Haines to be Sussex’s Best Batter

Tom Haines was not among the top contributors last time out against Durham where the opener scored 21 runs before his dismissal. However, he was one of the top run scorers for Sussex in the County Championship this season with 753 runs in 21 innings and an average of 39.63, making him the top contender against Kent.

Ben Compton to be Kent’s Best Batter

Ben Compton was a double centurion in the previous County outing against Leicestershire, having notched up an impressive 221 runs. He is in a league of his own with 1198 runs in 21 innings which includes five tons and a half-century. Averaging at 59.90, he is anticipated to be their standout batter once more.

Sussex vs Kent Best Bowlers

Henry Crocombe to be Sussex’s Best Bowler

In the previous outing against Durham, Henry Crocombe was fruitless as he delivered seven overs and failed to take any wickets while having achieved an economy rate of 8.00. Despite that, he remains the top choice since he has 12 wickets in six innings in the County season and will be expected to come good in the upcoming match.

Matt Parkinson to be Kent’s Best Bowler

Matt Parkinson was a wicket-taking powerhouse in the County Championship where he bagged a total of 28 wickets in nine innings, making him their top bowler overall. He led their bowling unit during the last encounter versus Leicestershire where he took a remarkable seven-wicket haul. He is the top choice to be their premier bowler against Sussex.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Sussex

Sussex were mediocre in the County Championship Division One as they were sixth in the standings and their start to the present tournament is below par, too, since they lost to Durham in the first game. They are third on the Group B points table with an awful net run rate of -1.020. Kent are entering their first match of the One Day Cup and they were off the mark with two wins, five losses and four draws in the Division Two. Although both sides have their work cut out, Sussex have the edge with a 3-1 scoreline in the last five head-to-head fixtures.
