The opening pair of Joe Denly and Daniel Bell-Drummond along with Sam Billings and Marcus Stoinis are the big guns in Kent's batting line-up. Last year, Denly scored the most runs for them - 409 runs including a century and a couple of fifties. Daniel Bell-Drummond and Sam Billings smashed a fifty each against Somerset. Denly was also the most successful bowler for Kent with 20 wickets and he will be one of the players to watch out for when it comes to bowling. Adam Milne and Mitchell Claydon are the others in this bowling attack who can cause problems for Somerset.

Tom Banton (64), Babar Azam (35) and Peter Trego (47 not-out) all had a good outing against Glamorgan and they will be expected to contribute heavily with the bat again on Saturday. James Hildreth was one of Somerset's most consistent batsmen in the previous season and he looked promising in his unbeaten knock of 24 in the last match. Jamie Overton and Jerome Taylor were amongst Vitality T20 Blast tournament's best bowlers last time with 24 and 22 wickets respectively, and the team will want the pace duo to make the early inroads into Kent's batting line-up. Roelof van der Merwe was the pick of the bowlers in the last game against Glamorgan with figures of 2-17 from four overs and the left-arm spinner will be the team's go-to man in the middle overs.

Somerset begin as favorites to win this match at 1.80 with Bet365 and 1.74 with Betrally. Kent are the underdogs amongst the bookmakers and they are being offered at a higher price of 2 on Bet365 and 1.90 on Betrally.
Kent certainly have the upper hand in terms of head-to-head count. They have beaten Somerset in each of their last ten attempts and have won all five of their encounters against them at this ground. However, Somerset are looking a stronger side this season after having made a few changes to their squad. They are coming on the back of a dominating win over Glamorgan and will want to capitalize on the good start to their campaign. Although Kent have had plenty of success against Somerset in the past, we feel that the latter will prevail this time around.
