Pre-Match Analysis:
Essex were on the receiving end in their last outing and bow down to a strong batting display from Somerset. They failed to defend 186 runs and gave up the match easily with 21 balls still left. This was their only 3rd loss in the competition and still maintain the 3rd spot in the South Group standings with 14 points. One or the other player will come to the rescue, especially with the bat when the team is in danger which has made a huge difference in this T20 Blast. Daniel Sams is their marquee bowler who has picked up 18 wickets so far in 10 matches. They want to make up for their previous loss and are all set for this much-awaited contest.
Kent are right back in the competition winning 4 matches on the trot. They comfortably chased down 169 against Sussex on Tuesday to record their 5th win. Jordan Cox steal the show with a blistering 82* runs that came out of just 44 balls. Earlier Michael Hogan’s 4 fer helped them to reduce Sussex to just 169 runs. They are showing strong intent in all aspects of the game which is giving positive results. With 5 wins and as many losses they are placed 5th in the South Group standings with 10 points. Daniel Bell-Drummond and Jordan Cox are their main pillars with the bat.
