Kent vs Gloucestershire Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 Blast 2023

Kent will take on Gloucestershire at the St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury. This T20 match gets underway at 18:30 local time on Wednesday 24th May.

Kent

After winning the tournament in 2021, it was a season to forget in the 2022 Vitality Blast for Kent as they finished bottom of the South Group with 11 defeats from their 14 matches. The signing of Australian pace bowler Kane Richardson looks to be a smart move.

KET Team Batting

With plenty of international experience and domestic players with fine records, it was a puzzle to see Kent struggle so much last year. The likes of captain Sam Billings, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Jordan Cox and Joe Denly are all capable of big scores in this format.

KET Team Bowling

Not only has Kane Richardson joined the county for this year but so has experienced campaigner Michael Hogan who impressed for Glamorgan with 20 wickets from 11 games last year. We expect this pair to be crucial to Kent’s success in this game.

KET Team Form

The Spitfires won only one of their final five matches in last year’s tournament but will be keen to get off to a winning start in this campaign.

Gloucestershire

The Bristol based county finished in fifth place in the South Group last year, one place but four points from a quarter final position. However, they experienced two no-results and will feel that they were one of the best four teams in the group in 2022.

GLO Team Batting

Scoring runs on a consistent basis was a problem for Gloucestershire over the course of last year’s season and their highest run scorer, New Zealand’s Glenn Phillips, has not returned for this campaign. James Bracey and Marcus Harris will be expected to contribute at the top of the order.

GLO Team Bowling

Left-arm pace bowler David Payne received an England call-up during the 2022 season and was Gloucestershire’s leading wicket taker last year. He will enjoy bowling at this venue and we also expect Marchant de Lange to be hard to face at this venue.

GLO Team Form

Gloucestershire won only two of their final five games in last year’s tournament but have a strong team for all conditions.

KET vs GLO, St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury

This Vitality T20 Blast game will be played at the St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury. There is always something in the wicket for the bowlers at this venue and we expect a par score of no more than 165.
