Although they were beaten by Somerset by 7 wickets with 21 balls on Monday, Essex come into this game in third place in the South Group. They are only two points behind the two sides above them in the group and have lost only three matches all campaign.
Eight of Essex’ batters made single figure scores against Somerset and the margin of defeat would have been far greater if it hadn’t been for middle order runs from Robin Das, Paul Walter and Matt Critchley. Das top scored with 72 and put on 94 runs for the fourth wicket with Walter.
Only three wickets were taken by Essex’ bowlers on Monday evening with Sam Cook, Shane Snater, Paul Walter and Matt Critchley all going wicketless. Skipper Simon Harmer picked up a wicket but was expensive with Daniel Sams leading the attack with 2-22.
It was always going to be a tough match against Somerset and so it proved as Essex were beaten to end a run of five victories.

Most pundits and experts were writing off Kent’ chances in this year’s T20 blast a couple of weeks ago but they have responded with an incredible run of form. They come into this game in fifth place, only two points behind Hampshire Hawks in fourth.
Jordan Cox was Kent’ hero in the win over Sussex Sharks on Tuesday as he hit 82 not out from 44 balls. Cox and Jack Leaning added an unbeaten 77 runs for the fifth wicket as the Spitfires got over the winning line with 6 wickets and 8 balls remaining.
Australian pace bowler Michael Hogan may now be 42 years old but that does not stop him from producing the goods on a regular basis in the T20 Blast. He took 4-31 against Sussex Sharks with Fred Klaassen, Wes Agar and Grant Stewart all picking up a wicket each.
Kent were fighting it out at the bottom of the table in Vitality T20 Blast 2023 before they embarked on this winning run of each of the last four games.

This could be a brilliant contest with Essex keen to get back to winning ways in front of their home fans against Kent who have suddenly found form as a team. We are predicting a very close game but think that Essex have more variety in their bowling attack and we are backing them to win
