KENT vs GLO Team Previews

Kent

Kent would be very disappointed to have lost the previous match against Surrey. They were chasing 170 and were left one run short even though they still have seven wickets in hand. It is just not acceptable for a team to be seven wickets in hand and still not be able to get over the line.

It shows a failure of the batsmen to accelerate at the right time and to time their chase as needed.

Daniel-Bell Drummond and Zak Crawley got their side off to an excellent start and will hope to finish he job off next time around. Runs for Heino Kuhn also point to a strong Kent batting side. Alex Blake and Sam Billings may not have been the most fluent in the previous match but their capability with the bat is also above doubt.

Hardus Viljoen, Imran Qayyum, and Fred Klaassen are going to be leading the Kent bowling attack and be fairly confident of keeping Gloucestershire from scoring too many runs.

Kent is an excellent team in good form and hopefully, that one runs loss int he previous match would have shaken them out of any complacency that may have set in.

Kent Playing 11

Daniel Bell-Drummond, Zak Crawley, Heino Kuhn, Faf du Plessis, Sam Billings, Alex Blake, Oliver Robinson, Hardus Viljoen, Imran Qayyum, Fred Klaassen, Mitchell Claydon.


Gloucestershire

If there is a team that is timing its run right in the T20 Blast 2019 then its Gloucestershire. The team was in extremely poor form to start with and its matches also kept getting rained out. Then, just when it seemed that Gloucestershire is not going to be a factor this season, Michael Klinger has come into form and is leading from the front.

Klinger, Hammond, and Bracey were all in the runs in their most recent match as well. They helped the side reach a total of 189 against Somerset which they ended up defending with ease. It was an important victory against one of the strongest T20 sides this season and will fill Gloucestershire with confidence.

The bowling attack of Andre Tye, David Payne, Chris Liddle, and Ryan Higgins suddenly has a lot more runs to defend in its matches and that is helping them out as well. Most of the bowlers have been in the wickets and are able to bowl disciplined lengths to keep the opposition batsmen from hurting them.
