Kent vs Middlesex Match Pitch Report
The surface at the St Lawrence Ground is a wonderful track to bat on. The ball stops moving after the first couple of overs and the batters can play their strokes freely once they survive the initial period. We may see the pacers use off-pace deliveries while bowling here at this venue.
The spinners will have to hit the right areas to avoid damage. They won’t get much assistance from the surface and we can see the batters take on the tweakers right from the start while batting here at the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury.
What to expect:
Team news:
Kent: A recent run of strong form has given Kent hope that they can continue to climb the South Group and might be able to sneak into the top four by the end of the group stage. They come into this match in 6th place, four points behind Hampshire in 4th.
Kent have beaten Hampshire Hawks by 6 wickets, Middlesex by 13 runs, and Gloucestershire by 7 wickets in their last three fixtures.
Probable XI: Tawanda Muyeye, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Joe Denly, Sam Billings (c & wk), Jordan Cox, Jack Leaning, George Linde, Grant Stewart, Fred Klaassen, Kane Richardson, Michael Hogan
Kent Squad: Sam Billings (c), Arafat Bhuiyan, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Alex Blake, Ben Compton, Jordan Cox, Zak Crawley, Joe Denly, Joey Evison, Harry Finch, Nathan Gilchrist, Hamidullah Qadri, Michael Hogan, Fred Klaassen, Jack Leaning, George Linde, James Logan, Tawanda Muyeye, Marcus O’Riordan, Matt Quinn, Kane Richardson (Australia), Jas Singh, Grant Stewart
Middlesex: After losing all eight of their matches so far in this campaign, Middlesex is four points adrift at the bottom of the South Group ahead of this game. Across both the North Group and the South Group all other teams have won at least two matches.
Captain Steve Eskinazi top scored for Middlesex in their last game with the skipper hitting a very impressive 94 not out from 62 balls at the top of the order in the narrow 4-run defeat to Sussex Sharks. South African Pieter Malan is an experienced batter who will come in at number three in this game.
Often defending small totals in the Vitality T20 Blast 2023, it has been hard work being a part of the Middlesex bowling attack. However, there were wickets for all the bowlers apart from Blake Cullen who had the lowest economy rate from his four overs in the defeat against Sussex Sharks.
Middlesex has not won a match throughout this campaign and is looking to avoid a ninth successive defeat in this fixture.
Probable XI: Stephen Eskinazi (c), Joe Cracknell, Pieter Malan, Max Holden, Ryan Higgins, Jack Davies (wk), Luke Hollman, Josh De Caires, Martin Andersson, Tom Helm, Blake Cullen
Middlesex Squad: Stephen Eskinazi (c), Martin Andersson, Ethan Bamber, Joe Cracknell, Blake Cullen, Jack Davies, Josh De Caires, Nathan Fernandes, Toby Greatwood, Max Harris, Tom Helm, Ryan Higgins, Max Holden, Luke Hollman, Ishaan Kaushal, Pieter Malan (South Africa), Daniel O’Driscoll, Sam Robson, Toby Roland-Jones, John Simpson, Mark Stoneman, Thilan Walallawita, Robbie White

Kent vs Middlesex Match Prediction
Neither team has had a strong 2023 Vitality Blast so far but Kent Spitfires showed their potential with their win over high-flying Hampshire Hawks in their last match. Middlesex is particularly low on confidence and we are backing Kent Spitfires to get the victory at Lord’s.

Kent vs Middlesex Match Both Team Top Batsmen
Opener Daniel Bell-Drummond has been a fantastic performer for Kent this season and is also their top-scorer with 407 runs. His partner, Tawanda Muyeye hasn’t been that free-flowing and will be hoping to get a big inning here. Similarly, middle-order batsmen Sam Billings and Jack Leaning haven’t been able to score big runs and that has cost a few matches to the team.
In the batting department, the side will be depending on the likes of Max Holden, Stephen Eskinazi, John Simpson, Joe Cracknell, and Jack Davies to deliver the bulk of the runs.
In a rain-curtailed match, Joe Cracknell scored 36 not out off 33 balls with the help of three boundaries, whereas Ryan Higgins produced a fluent 32 runs off 22 balls with the help of one four and three sixes.
Earlier in the innings, Stephen Eskinazi showcased decent form with the bat and scored 28 runs off 20 balls with the help of two fours and two sixes.
Kent vs Middlesex Match Both Team Top Team Bowlers
In the bowling department, Michael Hogan and Grant Stewart have done an excellent job as far as picking up wickets is considered, but they have been a bit expensive. Wes Agar and Fred Klaassen haven’t played too many matches this season but are likely to play an important role going forward.
The spin department is a bit lacking though and George Linde is the only specialist spinner on the team.
In the bowling department, the side will be depending on the likes of Nathan Fernandes, Tom Helm, Josh De Caires, Ryan Higgins, Martin Andersson, and Luke Hollman to deliver crucial breakthroughs.
In the previous match, Martin Andersson was the pick of the bowlers for Surrey and claimed 3 for 38 in his four overs.
