KENT vs MID Match Prediction & Analysis
Kent are hoping to pile up on the misery for Middlesex, who have made a disastrous start to the T20 Blast 2024 with back-to-back losses. Middlesex were thrashed around the park by Kent in the last meeting in May. The target of 205 set by Kent in this game still ranks as the highest team total so far in the 2024 T20 blast. Even though there were some positives for Middlesex in the subsequent game against Essex, the team are still waiting for the first points of the group.
Kent narrowly missed out on a quarter-final position last season, as they finished just two points behind Essex. The team now have a significant upper hand in the early part of the campaign. Their superior Net Run Rate (NRR) could be of much help.
St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury will be the venue for this game.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Kent Preview
Kent have started the season in brilliant fashion and a big win over 2023 champion Somerset comes as a statement from the team. Matt Walker’s men began with a big 98-run win over Middlesex in the first game. The team would have had a 100% record if not for the narrow loss against Hampshire at the start of June. A big positive for Kent in the early stages of the 2024 season is their batting prowess. The team has scored 150 runs in all three matches, while they hit 200+ in the opening match against Middlesex.
After decent outings against Middlesex and Hampshire, Daniel Bell-Drummond had a disappointing match against Somerset. The 30-year-old had picked up 80 runs from his first two games of the season, but he was sent off for just three runs against Somerset. Captain Sam Billings did not score against Middlesex but he has come up with 149 runs in his last two games.
Matt Parkinson has been a key asset for Kent in the bowling department with six wickets from his three matches.
Kent Predicted Playing XI:
Zak Crawley, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Tawanda Muyeye, Marcus O'Riordan, Sam Billings, Joe Denly, Joey Evison, Grant Stewart, Beyers Swanepoel, Xavier Bartlett, Matt Parkinson

Middlesex Preview
Middlesex are unlikely to improve on their 2023 finish going by the poor start they have made to the 2024 season. The club have lost both matches so far in the campaign and the heavy losses have put their Net Run Rate at a significant disadvantage compared to the nearest rivals.
Despite struggling for wins, Middlesex have been able to hit more than 150+ runs in the last two matches. The team struggled with a string of poor batting performances in the opener against Kent, but they have improved in the subsequent matches against Essex and Glamorgan.
Martin Anderson has been the top performer in the batting line-up for Middlesex. He has hit 106 runs from his two innings so far in the 2024 campaign. Max Holden comes a close second with his return of 96 runs from the three innings.
A six-wicket haul puts Luke Hollman as the top bowler for Middlesex and he has picked up a wicket in all of his three matches so far this season. Blake Cullen comes second with his return of four wickets.
Middlesex Predicted Playing XI:
Stephen Eskinazi, Martin Andersson, Max Holden, Jack Davies, Ryan Higgins, Luke Hollman, Joe Cracknell, Joshua De Caires, Tom Helm, Henry Brookes, Noah Cornwell

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The ground has traditionally favoured teams that have chased targets. The previous match on this ground produced high scores and it would not be surprise to see a repeat. The weather is likely to be mostly cloudy with light winds.
KENT vs MID Pitch Report
St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury will be hosting the game. As the home venue for Kent Cricket Club, there will be extra pressure on the home team to win this game. They have already picked up a victory on this ground with a four-wicket success over Somerset.
Toss: To Bowl
The pitch at the St Lawrence Ground has been in favour of chasing teams. The team which wins the toss is likely to pick bowling first.
KENT vs MID
Winning Prediction
Kent have made a decent start to the season with two points and a significantly better Net Run Rate compared with many other teams in the South group. Kent will be keen to make the most of this good start and a match against strugglers Middlesex is a big incentive. Middlesex lost heavily to Kent earlier in the campaign and things are unlikely to change even at the Spitfire ground.
Our prediction is for Kent to win
