Kent Spitfires vs Somerset Chance of Winning

The Kent Spitfires are coming off a narrow, hard-fought two-wicket win over the Sussex Sharks in their last match. Bowling first, Kent dismissed Sussex for 148 runs in 19.5 overs. Nathan Gilchrist was the star with the ball, taking 4/42; although his economy was on the higher side, he compensated with wickets. Then, Daniel Bell-Drummond at the top, with 47 runs, and Joey Evison at the end, with a quickfire 48 runs off 24 balls, powered Kent past the victory line.

Somerset, on the other hand, are coming off a colossal 95-run victory over the Essex Eagles in their last match, solidifying their place at the top of the South Group and booking their quarter-final spot. Batting first, Somerset posted a huge score of 225/6, on the back of Tom Kohler-Cadmore’s whirlwind knock of 90 runs off 39 balls. Then, with the ball, Matt Henry bowled a superb spell, finishing with figures of 4/21 at an economy of 5.25. Craig Overton and Riley Meredith also picked up two wickets each, but they were a bit expensive.

Based on our analysis of team combination and the form of both teams, the visitors, Somerset, who have dominated the entire South Group with their aggressive batting and equally good bowling attack, have the better chance of winning this contest.

Kent Spitfires vs Somerset Top Batters

Sam Billings to be the Top Batter for Kent Spitfires

The Kent Spitfires' skipper, Sam Billings, hasn't had the best season so far, scoring 144 runs in 11 matches, averaging 18 with a strike rate of 126.31. These are not ideal statistics for a player of his calibre, and he is due for a big knock.Billings boasts a phenomenal record at St. Lawrence Ground, where he has scored 1492 runs in 64 matches, averaging 29.84. Of those runs, Billings has scored 249 runs in 7 matches, averaging a staggering 62.25 against Somerset at Canterbury.We back Billings to play a match-winning knock in what is a must-win game for them to stay in the hunt for a top-four finish.

Will Smeed to be the Top Batter for Somerset

The leading run-scorer in the tournament with 428 runs in 11 matches, averaging 47.75, he has also been the 'Mr. Consistent' of the season, scoring more than 20 runs in nine of the 11 matches played, along with four half-centuries.Such has been his domination this season. Against Kent, Smeed has scored 89 runs in 4 matches, averaging 29.66.While this is a modest record, he is in fine form at the moment, and we predict that Smeed will step up and play another huge knock, being the top batter for Somerset against Kent.

Kent Spitfires vs Somerset Top Bowlers

Fred Klaassen to be the Top Bowler for Kent

Fred Klaassen bowled a good spell in the last match, where he picked up two wickets for 28 runs.Overall this season, he has taken 9 wickets in 10 matches, and at St. Lawrence Ground, he has three wickets in four matches.When you look at his overall record against Somerset, Klaassen has six wickets in eight matches. Somerset batters quite often struggle against left-arm pacers, and we expect Klaassen to make an impact in this fixture and be the top bowler for his team.

Matt Henry to be the Top Bowler for Somerset

One of the best swing bowlers in the T20 Blast this season, Matt Henry is coming off a phenomenal spell against Essex in the last match, where he picked up four wickets and was the top bowler for his team.Overall this season, Henry has bagged 16 wickets in 10 matches and is the second-highest wicket-taker after Riley Meredith. Henry has picked up three wickets in three matches against Kent, and the conditions at Canterbury suit his type of bowling. Expect another solid bowling performance and wickets from Henry; we back him to be the top bowler for Somerset.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Somerset

Somerset are the favorites to win this contest. They are the table-toppers and have been phenomenal in all aspects of the game this season, especially with their bowling lineup, which is one of the best in the competition. Kent, on the other hand, has struggled with the bat and been inconsistent, positioning them as underdogs in this contest, particularly as they have struggled against quality pace bowling attacks. We are backing Somerset to continue their good run of form and win this match.
