Surrey vs Kent Predictions

Surrey have a strong squad that is in form and playing good white-ball cricket, so I am backing them in this match. Kent have been weakened through the loss of their top run-scorer Zak Crawley to the England Test squad.

Surrey’s Laurie Evans has scored 33* & 62* in his last 2 innings.
Surrey’s Ollie Pope scored 53 off 33 balls against Kent.
Kent’s Daniel Bell-Drummond has scored 60 & 61 in his last 4 innings.
Kent’s Joe Denly has scored 48*, 28 & 21* in his last 4 innings.

Head-to-Head

Surrey have won four and lost one of their last five matches against Kent.

Surrey Form

Surrey made it two wins from their last three matches when they beat Kent by 42 runs.

Surrey posted a commanding 193/7 off their 20 overs. Laurie Evans top-scored with 62* off just 26 balls, backed by Ollie Pope with a 33-ball score of 53.

Mitchell Santner (3/28, econ 7.00) and Sam Curran (2/24, econ 8.00) led a powerful bowling performance by the Surrey attack as Kent were restricted to 151/9 off their 20 overs.

Surrey Team News

Sam Curran remains available for Surrey.

Kent Form

Kent bounced back from their loss to Surrey by beating Hampshire by eight wickets.

Tom Rogers (3/33) struck two early blows as Hampshire slipped to 29/3, only to recover to post 177/7 off their 20 overs.

Kent hit their target with an over to spare and eight wickets in the bank. Daniel Bell-Drummond (61 off 40 balls) and Zak Crawley (75 off 43 balls) added a match-winning 110 runs for the second wicket.

Kent Team News

Zak Crawley is unavailable for the next few matches as he is on Test duty for England against India.

Verdict

Surrey v Kent

I am backing Surrey to win. I am also backing Laurie Evans to top score for Surrey.

Daniel Bell-Drummond is a good bet to top score for Kent.
