Kent Team News & Playing 11
Joe Denly has been among the runs and is currently featuring on the list of top 10 batsmen for this year's NatWest T20 Blast. He will be the one to watch out for along with Sam Billings and James Neesham who struck twin fifties in the last match against Sussex. Neesham has done a pretty decent job with the ball so far picking up six wickets in as many games. The Kiwi allrounder took two wickets at this ground earlier against Gloucestershire and he could give Somerset a few problems here.

Somerset Team News & Playing 11
James Hildreth has scored the most runs for Somerset this season. He has been the most consistent batsman in the side and is a key figure in the team's middle order. Key man Corey Anderson will be crucial with both bat and ball. The allrounder has the ability to hit the ball a long distance and break partnerships in crunch situations. Peter Trego smashed fifties in both the games against Kent last year and Somerset will back him for another big score on Thursday.

Kent vs Somerset Betting Odds
Despite just two wins and a tie from six matches, Kent are favorites with bookmakers to win this match - 1.93 with 1xbet and 1.80 with Bet365. Now this could be due to their impressive head-to-head record which shows that they have beaten Somerset 7 times out of 10 in the past. Somerset are performing better than Kent this year and will be coming on the back of three successive wins. While Betfair is offering 2.06 on them, Bet365 has them at 2.
Kent vs Somerset Prediction
Kent will be playing on their home ground but having lost three of their last four matches here is definitely going to take some of that home advantage away from them. And while they will have a psychological edge of having beaten Somerset in their previous five encounters, they will also be wary of the fact that they need to ensure a win in this game in order to stay alive in the competition. So its obvious that there will be a huge amount of pressure on the team. Kent have been really inconsistent this season which is why we predict Somerset to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Somerset to beat Kent Spitfires in this South Group fixture of the NatWest T20 Blast 2017 at 2.06 with 1xbet and 2 with Bet365.
