Kent vs Yorkshire 4th Quarter-Final Prediction

If Yorkshire Bat First

Prediction: Around 250

They are definitely going to miss Travis Head who has left the team to link up with his national squad in Sri Lanka. Garry Balance is likely to make his way into the side to compensate for this loss. With skipper Lees struggling with his poor form, it will be mostly up to Adam Lyth and Balance to set up the foundation for their team. Yorkshire will need these two to score big and Bresnan to produce another fine innings in the middle-order if they are to get 250 or more.

Yorkshire will have to be extremely careful while facing Kent's Matt Coles. The fast bowler has been on fire this season and has taken 21 wickets to become the tournament's leading wicket-taker. He notched up four wickets in the last match and he will be backed by his skipper to run through Kent's batting lineup. If the others are able to maintain the pressure and don't allow Kent to get away, they could be chasing a score much less than what we've predicted.

Our Prediction

Kent have an outstanding overall record at Canterbury with eight wins and three defeats in eleven matches. They also have wins in their last two matches here and will be coming into this quarter-final on the back of three consecutive wins from the group stage.

Yorkshire, despite facing defeats in their last two group games, have been amongst the stronger sides this year. Adam Lyth has been batting well while Tim Bresnan has contributed with both the bat and the ball. They seem a nice outfit that packs quite a few of England's reputed international players.

Although Kent are going to have the home advantage on their side, we're backing Yorkshire here to win the fourth quarter-final and reserve a place for themselves in the semis.
