Gloucestershire Team News & Playing 11

GLOUCS Team News

Liam Norwell was very expensive for Gloucestershire in the first game against Somerset, leaking 22 runs off the 9 deliveries he bowled in the entire match. The medium pacer was replaced in the next game against Middlesex by Matt Taylor who finished with impressive figures of 2-36 from four overs. Gloucestershire are likely to retain Taylor for this upcoming game against Kent and so we expect them to go in with an unchanged lineup.

GLOUCS Key Players

Ryan Higgins and Michael Klinger have both hit a half-century in this year's Vitality Blast. While the former scored 55 against Somerset, the latter struck 58 in the previous game against Middlesex. While these two batsmen will be the key men for Gloucestershire against Kent, there will also be a lot of hopes pinned on Miles Hammond and Ian Cockbain who have looked promising so far. Among the bowlers, it will be mainly up to the likes of David Payne, Thisara Perera and Benny Howell to take wickets and exert pressure on the opposition. Payne has taken three wickets in two games and the team will back this seam bowler to make a significant impact with the ball.

GLOUCS Recent Form

Gloucestershire have one win and a loss from the two matches they have played so far and are currently placed sixth in the South Group standings. After losing to Somerset by six wickets in their first match, they bounced back into the tournament with a comprehensive six-wicket win over Middlesex in their next game. Gloucestershire have done very well with the bat so far, scoring 188 against Somerset and then chasing Middlesex's 160 with ease.

Kent Team News & Playing 11

KENT Team News

Kent Spitfires made one change in their last match against Somerset - they brought Australian fast bowler Mitchell Claydon in place of pacer Ivan Thomas who had an off day with the ball in the first game against Surrey. Claydon put up a better performance and will probably be given another game. Kent had no injury concerns at the time of writing and they are likely to come up with the same lineup from the last game.

KENT Key Players

Joe Denly has been brilliant with both bat and ball for Kent Spitfires. The opening batsman cracked a ton in the very first game against Surrey and then went on to pick up a hat-trick that derailed Surrey's innings and paved the way for his side's six-run win. Heino Kuhn has scores of 30 and an unbeaten 67 while Daniel Bell-Drummond is coming off a well-made fifty against Somerset. Carlos Brathwaite is another explosive batsman in the side and he is also a key figure in this bowling lineup. The West Indian allrounder has taken six wickets, including the four-fer in the last game. Adam Milne who notched up three wickets at London is also looking threatening and could cause a few problems for Gloucestershire.

KENT Recent Form

Kent Spitfires have made an excellent start to their Vitality Blast campaign with two wins from two games. They are second in the South Group standings with four points and are looking 'the team to beat' this season. They beat Surrey by six runs in their opening game before handing a crushing eight-wicket defeat to Somerset in the next game.

Kent Predicted Playing 11

Joe Denly, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Heino Kuhn, Sam Billings (c/wk), Alex Blake, Carlos Brathwaite, Sean Dickson, Calum Haggett, Adam Milne, Imran Qayyum, Mitchell Claydon

Gloucestershire vs Kent Head to Head

­GLOUSC vs KENT Head to Head

Kent have faced Gloucestershire 13 times in the history of the English twenty20 tournaments and have emerged victorious on 8 of those occasions.

However, Gloucestershire have done well against Kent in the recent past winning three of their last four matches against them, including both the matches in the previous season.

Their most recent encounter came last season in a group-stage game at Canterbury. Kent won the toss and put Gloucestershire into bat. The latter scored 138/9 before bowling their opponents out for 130 to win by eight runs.

Matches Played: 13; Gloucestershire Won: 5; Kent Won: 8

­Kent vs Gloucestershire Betting Odds

Kent Spitfires begin as the bookmakers' favorites to win this South Group game at odds of 1.72 on Betfair and 1.66 each on Betway and Bet365. Gloucestershire, despite having a good recent record against Kent, find themselves as the underdogs for this match and are being offered at a higher price of 2.10 on Betway, 2.20 on Bet365 and 2.28 on Betfair.

­Gloucestershire vs Kent Prediction

Both teams are coming on the back of a win in their respective last matches and will be high on confidence. However, Kent Spitfires have the momentum on their side with wins in their first two matches. They also have the psychological advantage of having beaten Gloucestershire eight times out of thirteen in the 20-overs format. Gloucestershire have won three of their last four head-to-head encounters but it won't be easy for them to beat Kent this time who seem to be the more balanced of the two sides. Most of the players appear to be in good form for Kent which is another reason why we are backing them to win this match.

Final Verdict: Back Kent Spitfires to beat Gloucestershire at 1.66 each on Betway and Bet365 and 1.72 on Betfair.
