KENT vs SUS Match Prediction - Aug 16, 2019

Both the teams playing this match have had an excellent T20 Blast 2019 so far and are in tremendous form. Both of them, though, have suffered a loss in their most recent game. Kent is going to be playing against Sussex in what can be termed as a top of the table clash in the South Group.

Sussex has six wins from its nine matches so far while Kent has six wins from ten matches. Neither of the teams has cemented their place in the quarter-finals but they are in a very strong position to do so.

Kent vs Sussex T20 Blast 2019 is going to be played at St. Lawrence Ground, Canterbury on the 16th of August 2019.

KENT vs SUS Team Previews

Kent

Kent was ripped apart by Tom Banton and Somerset in the previous game and there was nothing they could do about it. Cricket, especially T20 cricket, is a game where individual brilliance can trump the other team completely and sometimes you just have to accept it.

The return of Sam Billings to the Kent side has been a big plus. He may not have found his best form just yet but that is to be expected after recovering from such a serious injury. With Daniel Bell-Drummond, Zak Crawley, Heino Kuhn, Mohammad Nabi, and Alex Blake in the side as well, Sam Billings can afford a few low scores before getting back to his best.

Kent’s batting is very good and it will need to be at its best against the strong Sussex bowling lineup.

Kent’s own bowling is very impressive too. Forget the previous match where they were expensive because players like Adam Milne, Hardus Viljoen, Mohammad Nabi, and Fred Klaassen have proven themselves multiple times in the T20 Blast 2019.

Kent is up against a very strong side but it should not be counted out of the contest either.

Sussex

Sussex finally suffered its first loss of T20 Blast 2019 against Surrey. It is the only team that Sussex has not beaten even after playing against it twice this season. Their first match was a tie and the second was won by Surrey.

This is no reason to panic, though.

Sussex’s bowling is very reliable and did pretty well even in the previous match against Surrey. Reece Topley has been very good after his return from injury, Rashid Khan is always a threat in T20 cricket, and Chris Jordan is getting his death overs bowling right on point.

All the signs point to a bowling attack that is in good form and knows exactly what the plans are.

The batting suffered an off-day in the previous match and that can happen. Overall, though, Luke Wright, Phil Salt, Laurie Evans, Alex Carey, and David Wiese have been very consistent in the T20 Blast.

One or two of these batsmen have always contributed getting Sussex to a defendable total.

The batsmen are not going to have an easy time against Kent’s bowling unit but they must back themselves to do what they have done this entire tournament.
