SOM vs KENT Betting Tips
- Somerset’s Tom Abell hit 50 from 35 balls in the semi-final and is our tip for their highest run scorer against Sussex Sharks. With the ball, Josh Davey took 4-34 against Hampshire and is well worth backing as their top wicket taker in the final.
- Before the semi-final, Daniel Bell-Drummond had hit 47 boundaries in the tournament. He is a good choice for Kent Spitfires’ highest run scorer in the final. Matt Milnes is the only player to have taken a 4-wicket and 5-wicket haul in the 2021 competition. He is our recommendation for Kent’s top wicket taker against Somerset.
- It could well be the strike bowlers on either side who make the difference in the final. We are tipping Matt Milnes to take the Player of The Match Award.

🏆 Somerset vs Kent Prediction
We should be in for a treat of a final between two teams from opposite sides of the south of England. Somerset looked like they were going to be beaten against Hampshire but showed plenty of character to get over the line. However, we think Kent have the stronger batting line-up and are predicting a win for the Spitfires.
