SUS vs KENT Team Previews
Sussex
Sussex has played six matches so far in the Vitality T20 Blast competition. They have won four of them and have eight points to their credit. They have a net run rate of +0.405 and are currently in third position on the South Group points table. After a run of three wins in a row, Sussex is going into this game on the back of a defeat against Surrey. This game in Hove saw Surrey score 184 runs from their twenty overs for losing eight wickets. Sussex never looked like getting close to the totals and were bowled out for 130 runs in 18.1 overs.
Danny Lamb was the top bowler for Sussex in this encounter. He picked up three victims for 36 runs from his four overs. The quick Ollie Robinson and Tymal Mills also picked up two wickets each while giving away 25 and 21 runs, respectively. The Sussex batting got off to a terrible start with quick wickets in the beginning. Some noticeable contributions in the middle order from batters such as John Simpson, Tom Aslop, and Fynn Hudson-Prentice provided some respectability to the total. Still, all these batting efforts were far short of what was needed to reach the big target.
Sussex Playing 11
Daniel Hughes, Harrison Ward, James Coles, John Simpson, Fynn Hudson Prentice, Tom Alsop, Danny Lamb, Nathan McAndrew, Archie Lenham, Ollie Robinson, Tymal Mills.
Kent
The Kent team, unlike their counterparts, is having a rotten season. They have four points and are lying near the bottom of the South Group points table in 8th position. They have recorded just two wins in their last six games and have a net run rate of +0.028. Kent is going into this game with three defeats in a row against Gloucestershire, Somerset, and Middlesex. The last match against Gloucestershire saw the Kent outfit going down with a significant margin of nine wickets as their target was chased with 50 balls to spare.
The Kent team batted first in their last game against Gloucestershire. They could muster up just 125 runs and were bowled out in the last over of their innings. The skipper Sam Billings was the top batter in this effort scoring 36 runs from 26 balls with six fours. Several batters got starts, but none of them could build an inning and score big. The Gloucestershire openers put the Kent bowlers to the sword and reached the target in just 11.4 overs. All Kent bowlers went for runs, and the only bowler to pick up a wicket was Nathan Gilchrist.
