SUS vs KENT Match Prediction - May 13, 2021

Sussex and Kent are right at the bottom of their group at the moment. While Sussex has one win and two draws to its name, Kent has not won a single match in the County Championship 2021 season.

It is interesting that both Sussex and Kent have actually lost lesser matches than the teams that are leading their group so far!

This could be the perfect opportunity for both teams to pick up some vital points and get their campaign moving in the right direction.

Sussex vs Kent County Championship 2021 is going to be played at the County Ground, Hove starting on the 13th of May 2021.

SUS vs KENT Team Previews

Sussex

Somerset’s batting has been a bit unpredictable this season. While a couple of its batsmen are having a very good tournament, the rest have just not been able to provide the support that is needed.

Thomas Haines has 492 runs to his name already with a best of 155. That is leaps and bounds above his teammates and only Stiaan van Zyl with 328 runs can claim to have played a role in getting Somerset to some good positions.

No other batsman, apart from Haines and van Zyl, has scored a century for Sussex this season.

Garton, Thomason, Brown, and Clark have batted decently without really converting their starts. There is something to work with in the Sussex batting, just the consistency seems to be lacking.

Ollie Robinson and Jack Carson have been the best bowlers for Somerset with 25 and `18 wickets respectively. Once again, though, the problem seems to be of depth and support since no other bowler in Sussex’s squad has more than 6 wickets to his name.

Sussex Playing 11

Aaron Thomason, Tom Haines, Stiaan van Zyl, TM Head, Tom Clark, Ben Brown, Delray Rawlins, George Garton, Ollie Robinson, Jofra Archer, Jack Carson.


Kent

Is it a good thing when a 45-year-old is the only centurion for your team and also the highest wicket-taker? Well, that is exactly what Darren Stevens is doing for Kent right now and we think this showcases a lack of young talent coming through.

Stevens has 230 runs to his name and has taken 15 wickets so far. He is certainly having a season to remember. Crawley, Cox, and Robinson also have some decent runs to their name (all of them have more than 250) but neither of them has been able to convert the starts into big scores.

That has to be a concern for Ket moving forward.

While the Kent batting has underperformed, we think the Kent bowling has been ineffective and even worse. Matt Milnes has 10 wickets to his name and is the only bowler apart from Darren Stevens to be in the double figures.

Kent has not been able to take enough wickets to put pressure on the opposition and this is why it is in a very tough spot going up against Sussex at home.

SUS vs KENT Toss Prediction

The team that wins the toss is going to want to bat first. The pitch is going to be lively and offer help for the bowlers throughout the match but it is usually at its best for batting after the first session of play.

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions in Hove are expected to be a bit wet. There is some rain expected on every day of the match, however, the rain is not expected to be very severe. The pitch in Hove is always a bit bowler-friendly for the five-day matches.

A score of around 300 batting first is going to be a very good one.

SUS vs KENT Betting Tips

We think Sussex has an excellent chance of picking up its second win of the season in this match. Both teams have a decent batting lineup but Sussex has a slight edge. In the bowling department, though, Kent really falls behind and this makes Sussex the deserving favorite to win.

Bet on Sussex to win.
