Surrey Team News & Playing 11
The team will look to Aaron Finch and Jason Roy to deliver the goods with the bat. Finch struck a magnificent 61 runs off 42 balls at the Oval against Somerset and one can expect him to play a similar kind of innings when Surrey take on Kent at the same venue on Friday. Jade Dernbach and Tom Curran have both taken two wickets each at this ground this season and the team will once again rely on these two fast bowlers to do the job with the ball.

Kent Team News & Playing 11
Daniel Bell-Drummond was instrumental in Kent's seven-wicket win over Essex in the first match at Beckenham. The opener belted 90 runs from 55 balls to power his team to a convincing victory and he looks set for another good score here against Surrey. Adam Milne and James Neesham took two and three wickets apiece in that game and Kent will want these two Kiwi bowlers to bowl with the same level of intensity in this match as well.

Surrey vs Kent Betting Odds
Surrey are currently placed second in the South Group Standings having won two out of three matches they have played so far in this year's NatWest T20 Blast. The team is in good form with six wins in their last eight matches which is why bookmakers are seeing them as favorites to win this upcoming match. Surrey are 1.72 with betfair and 1.66 with bet365. Kent on the other hand are outsiders with 2.26 with Betfair and 2.20 with Bet365. This doesn't come as a surprise considering their recent form as they have managed to win just three of their last nine matches.
Surrey vs Kent Prediction
There isn't much to choose between the two teams when it comes to head-to-head record. While Surrey have 14 wins, Kent have 12 from the 26 matches played in the history of the English domestic T20 tournaments. However, one area where the former do seem to have an advantage is that they will be playing on their home ground, and as such, will have a better idea of how the pitch is going to behave. Surrey defeated Somerset here earlier in the season and they also outplayed Kent the last time they faced them at this ground. This will surely give the team plenty of confidence and we therefore predict them to emerge victorious in this match.
Final Verdict: Back Surrey to beat Kent at 1.72 with betfair and 1.66 with bet365
