Kent are favourites to win
Gloucestershire host 2021 T20 Blast Champions, Kent Spitfires, on Wednesday evening in Bristol. The home side suffered their second defeat of the campaign to Surrey in South London on Tuesday evening. The Spitfires have played three and lost three so far in the competition. Read on as we preview this game. The match begins at the County Ground at 18:30 local time.
Gloucestershire have sandwiched a victory over Sussex Sharks with defeats against Surrey and Middlesex in the T20 Blast so far this season. They won their only home game and will be confident of another victory in this match.
Kent Spitfires have struggled with the mantle of champions so far in this campaign. Their last two defeats have been by small margins but they have lost that winning habit from the 2021 competition.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Sports in the UK.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on the Fan Code app; the ECB website and app; and SkyGo.
Sussex Sharks won the toss and decided to field first in the only game of the tournament in Bristol so far. We predict that both captains will want to bat second in this match.
Friday’s game on this wicket saw a match with batters and bowlers both enjoying the surface. We expect another wicket which offers most for the pace bowlers.
18 degrees at the start of the match under cloudy skies. Expect the clouds to disappear but the temperature to drop as the game progresses.

After beating Sussex Sharks at home on Friday evening, Gloucestershire were unchanged ahead of their visit to Surrey on Tuesday evening. Although it was tough batting conditions, the team will be disappointed with their sub-par total of 92 all out. However, we expect the same players to be given the opportunity to redeem themselves.
Gloucestershire ended last season in poor form and they are yet to really show their quality in the 2022 T20 Blast. They have won only one of their last five games in this format.
Miles Hammond, James Bracey (wk), Ian Cockbain, Glenn Phillips, Jack Taylor (c), Ryan Higgins, Benny Howell, Tom Smith, David Payne, Naseem Shah, Paul van Meekeren
After three defeats on the spin you would expect at least one change to the Spitfires XI and it will come at the top of the order. England Test opener, Zak Crawley, is on international duty at Lord’s and we expect him to be replace by Jordan Cox with Grant Stewart coming into the side in the lower-middle order.
Kent Spitfires are unrecognisable from the side which went all the way and lifted the trophy last year. They are hoping to avoid their fourth straight defeat in this game.
Jordan Cox, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Joe Denly, Sam Billings (c) (wk), Jack Leaning, George Linde, Grant Stewart, Qais Ahmad, Matthew Milnes, Frederick Klaasen, Matthew Quinn
The overall head to head is very close between the two sides, however Kent Spitfires have lost seven of their last eight T20 Blast games against Gloucestershire.

Although they have not won a game yet this season, Kent Spitfires are favourites with the bookies for this match in Bristol.
Only Josh Inglis scored more runs than Glenn Phillips and Daniel Bell-Drummond in the 2021 T20 Blast. Neither have got off to a strong start this season but both are accomplished T20 batters.
Glenn Phillips, Ian Cockbain and Miles Hammond are our batting recommendations for Gloucestershire. Phillips scored 36 sixes as he struck 500 runs in last season’s Blast.
Daniel Bell-Drummond, Sam Billings and Jordan Cox are our batting tips for Kent Spitfires. Bell-Drummond hit 492 runs from 14 innings in the 2021 T20 Blast.
For Gloucestershire, David Payne, Benny Howell and Naseem Shah are our bowling tips. Shah dismissed half-centurion Will Jacks with a perfect yorker on Tuesday night.
For Kent Spitfires, Qais Ahmad, Fred Klaassen and Matt Milnes are our bowling tips. Ahmad picked up the experienced key wickets of Luke Wright and Ravi Bopara on Sunday.
Neither side has had as strong a start to the Vitality T20 Blast 2022 season as they would have preferred and this game therefore takes on more importance. We expect to see some significant contributions from the likes of Sam Billings and Daniel Bell-Drummond and are backing Kent Spitfires to get their first win of the season.
