Tim Southee's side had a bad day at the office in their last game against the Surrey Jaguars. It was a poor performance by their batsmen, which saw them lose the game by 6 wickets.

The side will need a good start from Usman Khan and Aaron Johnson as they face a tough bowling attack. Mark Chapman has done well and must build partnerships with Hussain Talat and Colin de Grandhomme in the middle order. Nitish Kumar, Rizwan Cheema, and Chris Green must do well in the lower middle order for the side to win this game.  

Tim Southee has bowled well and will look to lead the attack from the front and get early breakthroughs with Logan van Beek, the leading wicket-taker. Chris Green and Hussain Talat are experienced bowlers who have an important role in this game. Shahid Ahmadzai must do well in the ing role.
