Kent Team News & Playing 11
KENT Team News
The Spitfires are missing only Qais Ahmad from their successful side in the group stage. The Afghan spinner is now in St Kitts. They have a very strong batting line up with the top order combining the youth of Zak Crawley alongside the experienced Daniel Bell-Drummond and Joe Denly.
KENT Key Players
- Zak Crawley - The England player has lost his international place but that is good news for Kent who can benefit from his naturally attacking play.
- Daniel Bell-Drummond - The opener and replacement captain led from the front in the group stage and will be looking to build on his impressive figures in this game.
- Darren Stevens - The old-timer continues to deliver across all formats. He has had another successful season at the age of 45.
Kent Spitfires lost their final group stage game to Sussex Sharks but they were already guaranteed their spot at the top of the group.
Kent Predicted Playing 11
Zak Crawley, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Joe Denly, Jack Leaning, Sam Billings (c), Jordan Cox (wk), Darren Stevens, Adam Milne, Grant Stewart, Matthew Milnes, Frederick Klaasen
Warwickshire Team News & Playing 11
WARKS Team News
Alongside Brathwaite and Lintott, Birmingham Bears will also be without Kyle Mayers who played the final two group stage games. However, they have strength in depth in their squad and their replacements will certainly keep the side competitive in this match.
WARKS Key Players
- Sam Hain - At 26 years of age, the time has come for Hain to kick on in his career. Four half-centuries in this competition shows that he is playing some of the best cricket of his career.
- Chris Benjamin - The South African born keeper-batsman had a very impressive Men’s Hundred tournament for Birmingham Phoenix, often playing in the finishing role with the bat.
- Danny Briggs - the left arm spinner had a strong Men’s Hundred tournament for Southern Brave and took wickets in each of his last four games.
Bears completed the group stage with successive wins to sneak into the knockout stage of T20 Blast. They have blown hot and cold throughout the tournament.
Warwickshire Predicted Playing 11
Adam Hose, Ed Pollock, Rob Yates, Sam Hain, Will Rhodes (c), Chris Benjamin, Michael Burgess (wk), Tim Bresnan, Danny Briggs, Craig Miles, Jacob Bethell
