Surrey CCC vs Kent Spitfires at a Glance

Will Jacks scored 43 runs off 22 balls at the top of the order on Thursday and is our pick to be Surrey’s top run scorer against Kent.
Joe Denly is a seasoned player who has scored over 6200 T20 runs in his career. We believe he will be Kent’s leading run scorer in this match.
Sean Abbott is a frequent wicket-taker in this format, and we recommend picking him to take at least two wickets in this match.

Surrey CCC vs Kent Spitfires Team Preview

Surrey CCC

Surrey traveled to Lord’s on Thursday and was far too strong for Middlesex, winning by 73 runs. This Friday night match will be watched by a large crowd.

With captain Chris Jordan still playing for the Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League, Sam Curran took over as captain for the first game, and we anticipate him to do so again in this encounter. Surrey has a good squad, but we do not expect any changes ahead of their T20 Blast 2023 fixture.

Kent Spitfires

Last season, Kent was the worst team in the South Group, but they showed improved focus and application in their first game this season. In this game, they will not be intimidated by a boisterous crowd at the Oval.

Kane Richardson, an Australian speed bowler, made his Kent debut in Wednesday’s convincing home win against Gloucestershire. The Spitfires have named an unchanged squad for this encounter, and the same XI is anticipated to play.

The Oval is expected to have sunny skies and clear skies on Friday evening. However, it will not be excessively hot, with the temperature dropping to 14 – 15 degrees by the end of the fixture.

Bowlers love to show off their skills on this field, which features long boundaries and a hard wicket. We anticipate a par score of little more than 165.

Birmingham Bears have two points from their latest game, while Leicestershire have failed to open their account.
Birmingham Bears have a 3-2 win-loss record versus Leicestershire in their previous five meetings.
Last season, Birmingham Bears won the league, while Leicestershire failed to make the playoffs.

Leicestershire Foxes vs Birmingham Bears Team Preview

Leicestershire Foxes

Leicestershire was defeated by Lancashire Lightning by 8 wickets with 51 balls remaining on Thursday afternoon, capping off a poor start to the season. Only two players scored in double figures at Old Trafford, and that must change in this game if the Foxes are to compete.

Wiaan Mulder led the way with 25 runs from 24 balls against Lancashire, while wicket-keeper Harry Swindells was unbeaten on 17 from 18 balls. Top-order batsmen Nick Welch and skipper Colin Ackermann will both be under pressure to deliver large runs in this encounter.

Birmingham Bears

Birmingham Bears won by 34 runs over Yorkshire Vikings last Saturday at Edgbaston, and the Bears, led by Alex Davies, will go to Leicester full of confidence for this match. Glenn Maxwell will play in this game.

Sam Hain (83 not out from 45 balls) and Chris Benjamin (46 runs from 28 balls) scored significant runs in Birmingham Bears’ 200-6 win over Yorkshire. Maxwell, who shone in this year’s IPL, will bolster the batting lineup in this match.

Grace Road has generally been a decent pitch, with batters having an advantage in the initial innings.

For Middlesex in the previous game, Tom Helm, Max Holden, and Pieter Malan all delivered respectable efforts. In their first match, the Hampshire Hawks team was defeated by Somerset CCC.

Hampshire Hawks vs Middlesex Team Preview

Hampshire Hawks

The 2022 Vitality Blast champions got off to a bad start against Somerset CCC on Wednesday when Hampshire Hawks were defeated by 8 wickets with 63 balls remaining. The Hawks retain the majority of their tournament champions from last year.

Ben McDermott and James Vince combined for only four runs at the top of the order against Somerset CCC, which was a huge surprise given their excellent T20 batting records. Tom Prest, a 20-year-old who has two half-centuries in this format, is predicted to do well. Only spinner Liam Dawson and Australian all-rounder Nathan Ellis took wickets in the opening game against Somerset CCC. Mason Crane only bowled three balls on Wednesday, but he has a fantastic Rose Bowl record.

Middlesex

Not only did Hampshire Hawks suffer a severe defeat in their first match, but Middlesex also fell by 73 runs to London rivals Surrey CCC on Thursday evening at Lord’s. Nathan Fernandes made his Middlesex debut in the loss, but he should have another chance in this match.

The majority of the runs will be scored by James Vince, Ben McDermott, Tom Prest, Ross Whiteley, Joe Weatherley, and Toby Albert in the batting order. Chris Wood, Nathan Ellis, Mason Crane, Scott Currie, and Liam Dawson will be relied on to make important breakthroughs in the bowling department.

Sussex Sharks vs Somerset CCC at a Glance

In their last 7 games at this location, Sussex has won 3 of them.
Somerset’s season opener was won decisively by their bowlers.
Shadab Khan is a recent addition to the Sharks’ deep lineup.

Sussex Sharks vs Somerset CCC Team Preview

Sussex Sharks

The Sussex Sharks finished last year’s T20 Blast down in seventh place in the South Group after excelling in white ball cricket in prior seasons. Jofra Archer and Ollie Robinson, both representatives of England, will not be available for the Sharks due to injuries.

After smashing a stunning 144 from 49 balls in a 2nd XI T20 game on Tuesday, experienced former England international Ravi Bopara will be full of confidence going into this encounter. At the top of the side’s order, Tom Alsop and Tom Haines will bat.

Somerset CCC

The 2022 semifinalist Somerset, who defeated Hampshire Hawks by 8 wickets on Wednesday, had a great start to the year. The Hawks had previously defeated Somerset in the semi-final, making this victory much sweeter for Somerset’s players and supporters. Following Wednesday’s victory, no injuries were recorded.

Tom Banton took advantage of the opportunity to start his campaign off strong with 40 runs off 24 balls against Hampshire Hawks at the top of the order after the bowlers had done all the work in the first half of the game. Somerset’s batting lineup is excellent, and Tom Kohler-Cadmore’s singing has made it even better.

County Ground Hove

4 of the past 7 games played on this field have been won by the team batting first. In these travels, only twice did a team successfully chase a 160-plus total. They would be confident in their ability to defend a respectable score on this field given the caliber of bowling attack in both sides.

Hove is expected to have a clear day with a high temperature of 17 degrees Celsius.

It appears to be a pitch that is balanced and supportive of both batters and bowlers. It is not normally a high-scoring surface, but if the batters time it correctly, they can make a stroke.

Gloucestershire vs Glamorgan at a Glance

Gloucestershire’s batting appears to be in awful health after being bowled out for 113 runs in their most recent encounter.
Timm van der Gugten’s best T20 stats are 5-21, and we anticipate that on Friday, he will lead Glamorgan in wickets taken.
Michael Neser of Glamorgan has been in excellent possession of the ball and strengthens this attack.

Gloucestershire vs Glamorgan Team Preview

Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire will be relieved to be playing against Glamorgan at home after suffering a crushing defeat by 7 wickets with 39 balls remaining against Kent Spitfires on Wednesday. In this match, the home team must improve both with the bat and the ball.

Against the Kent Spitfires, only Chris Dent scored more than 50 for Gloucestershire, and just three other players reached double digits. He scored an amazing 55 runs off just 29 balls, hitting nine boundaries in the process. Grant Roelofsen was disappointed with his first-inning single, but he is a good batter and this game can end with a high score.

Glamorgan

Glamorgan, who finished sixth in the South Group last year and was six points behind the fourth-place team, will play their first game of the 2023 Vitality Blast in this contest. Since they are participating in a pre-Ashes training camp, the team, without Marnus Labuschagne and Michael Neser, will be captained by David Lloyd.

This Glamorgan team still has plenty of runs to score even without Marnus Labuschagne’s batsmanship. Along with Kiran Carlson and Sam Northeast, who have strong local records, Colin Ingram, a seasoned T20 specialist from South Africa, is someone to keep an eye on.

County Ground Bristol

The first few overs will be ideal for batting on this surface. In the previous season, teams that batted first won more games. In this game, the team that wins the toss should not be reluctant to elect to bat first and attempt to post a significant total.

Bristol will have clear skies and ideal batting conditions.

As evidenced by the four-day matches, the pitch has been excellent for batting. To perform effectively on this surface, bowlers must bowl in the proper places. On this track, the team batting first would require a goal above 180.

Northamptonshire Steelbacks vs Durham Cricket at a glance

Northamptonshire Steelbacks were defeated by Worcestershire Rapids in their first game.
Durham Cricket failed to make the 2022 NatWest T20 Blast tournament playoffs last season.
Northamptonshire Steelback’s Tom Taylor and Andrew Tye both put in strong efforts against Worcestershire Rapids.

Northamptonshire Steelbacks vs Durham Cricket Team Preview

Northamptonshire Steelbacks

Northamptonshire Steelbacks had a dismal start to the season, as they were defeated by Worcestershire Rapids by 15 runs at home on Wednesday. In that first encounter, a general lack of lower-order runs was the difference between success and defeat.

If the Steelbacks are to win this game, one of their batters must hit a home run. David Willey bowled with more control than others and appears to have progressed since his stint in the IPL this year.

Durham Cricket

Only Worcestershire Rapids ended below Durham in the North Group in the 2022 Vitality Blast, with only three wins in a poor season. It was just reported that Australian Ashton Turner will return to the squad this year.

Alex Lees, a former England international, is a naturally positive player who will captain the squad as well as open the batting this year. Brydon Carse will be one of Durham’s top bowling threats this season, but we also anticipate de Leede and Brandon Glover to contribute with essential wickets.

Yorkshire Viking’s highest total contested at Trent Bridge is 224, which they achieved against Notts Outlaws.
Colin Munro has the potential to be Notts Outlaw’s MVP in this match.

Notts Outlaws vs Derbyshire Falcons Team Preview

Notts Outlaws

Notts Outlaws had an unusual campaign in 2022, winning their last four matches but failing to advance to the knockout stage of the event. They hired Shaheen Shah Afridi and Colin Munro as overseas players ahead of this year’s tournament.

The Notts Outlaws boast a dynamic lineup of batters, led by Alex Hales at the top of the order. Although Luke Fletcher is a competent bowler, Shaheen Shah Afridi is a match-winner and a wonderful addition to the Outlaws.

Derbyshire Falcons

Derbyshire Falcons were defeated by Lancashire Lightning in their first match of the season on Saturday afternoon at Edgbaston, but the margin of defeat was only four wickets with four balls remaining. We expect the Falcons to go with the same lineup for the match.

Last Saturday, Wayne Madsen produced a typically good half-century against the Lightning, hitting four sixes and three fours in 35 balls. In their first game, Zaman Khan, Zak Chappell, and George Scrimshaw split five wickets, with Chappell’s figures of 2-33 standing out.

Worcestershire Rapids vs Yorkshire Vikings Team Preview

Worcestershire Rapids

Worcestershire Rapids beat Northamptonshire Steelbacks by 15 runs on Wednesday, putting them halfway toward matching last year’s win total following a very disappointing tournament in 2022 that produced just two triumphs. We anticipate that the same squad will be chosen for this match.

The team will be counting on players like Ed Pollock, Ben Cox, Michael Bracewell, Brett D’Oliveira, Jack Haynes, and Adam Hose to score the majority of the runs in the batting department. The team’s bowlers will be looking for timely strikes from people like Patrick Brown, Mitchell Stanley, Michael Bracewell, Usama Mir, Aaron Finch, and Brett D’Oliveira.

Yorkshire Vikings

The Yorkshire Vikings campaign got off to a bad start as they were defeated by the Birmingham Bears at Edgbaston on the opening night in the last weekend of the Vitality Blast 2023. Despite winning the toss, they were dismissed for 166 after making 200-6.

The team will be counting on players like Adam Lyth, Shan Masood, Jonny Bairstow, Dawid Malan, and Will Fraine to score the majority of the runs in the batting department.

MI has won their last four games and is now in excellent form.
After dropping three of their five home games, GT recovered with two straight victories.
MI’s powerful and effective middle-order provides for a great finish.

Gujarat Titans vs Mumbai Indians Team Preview

Gujarat Titans

In Qualifier 1, Gujarat Titans never completely controlled Chennai Super Kings, as the game slipped away from them in the second inning. If they want to win, they must perform at their peak throughout the entire game.

Prior to Qualifier 1, Gujarat Titans made one change, replacing Yash Dayal in the starting XI with Darshan Nalkande. After giving up 44 runs in his four overs on Tuesday, Nalkande being benched for this match would not be unexpected.

Mumbai Indians

On Wednesday, Mumbai Indians produced an outstanding performance with the ball and on the field before managing to post a competitive score. They exude confidence and will continue to do so even while playing the 2022

Champions.

Kumar Kartikeya finds himself back on the replacement bench for the Eliminator matches against Lucknow Super Giants after being added to the lineup for the final game of the group stage. We anticipate Rohit Sharma’s starting lineup for this game to remain the same.
