Kent Spitfires vs Surrey CCC Team Preview

Kent Spitfires

Kent Spitfires currently have 4 losses in 5 matches recorded in this year’s T20 Blast after suffering three consecutive losses. Their most recent defeat came on Friday night when Glamorgan defeated them handily by 7 wickets with 18 balls remaining.  

In the most recent game, Tawanda Muyeye scored 62 runs off 38 balls at the top of the order, but overall, Kent Spitfires’ batting has been their biggest problem. Jordan Cox also scored 35 runs off of 27 balls, which was helpful, but the Spitfires have not amassed enough significant runs throughout the season.

Surrey CCC

The South London squad started the season with convincing wins over Middlesex and Kent Spitfires, but over their last three games, they have lost to Sussex Sharks and Gloucestershire. On Friday, Gloucestershire had five balls left and had won by two wickets.

With single-digit scores from Will Jacks, Sam Curran, Tom Curran, and Sunil Narine, Surrey’s top-order runs against Gloucestershire were a major issue. In actuality, Surrey’s highest score was only 29, and both of the Curran brothers made ducks. So they have to play well enough to win this matchup.
