Hampshire Hawks vs Kent Spitfires Preview

Hampshire has won four of its last five games.
Kent has only won two of the eight matches it has played, and its top hitters are in terrible form.
Hampshire is playing at home, and its top-order should benefit from the favorable weather forecast.

In the 2022 Vitality Blast, the Hampshire Hawks will face the Kent Spitfires. On Friday, June 17th, the game will begin at 19:00 local time at The Ageas Bowl in Southampton.

Hampshire Hawks are undefeated in the T20 Blast and are looking for their fifth straight victory. They are, however, one point off of the top four after losing each of their first four games of the season. Last Thursday, they defeated Essex Eagles, with skipper James Vince scoring 44 runs from 39 balls at the top of the order. Fast bowler Jame Fuller took four wickets against the Eagles, including Adam Rossington, Feroze Khushi, Matthew Critchley, and Simon Harmer.

The Kent Spitfires have won two of their past three games in the competition, although they are still in last place after losing all five of their first matches. This is a setback for the Spitfires, who were on the verge of winning their second T20 Blast title in 2021. At their final game of the competition, Kent defeated Somerset by 32 runs in Taunton last Friday. Before George Linde, Frederick Klaassen, and Grant Stewart each took two wickets, Jordan Cox hit 94 runs off 47 balls.

Hampshire Hawks vs Kent Spitfires Weather Report

On June 17, the sky over Southampton will be cloudy, which will make things difficult for the batters. We’ve previously seen a difficult surface here, forcing batters to play on the backfoot. In these conditions, the team batting first would be content with 160 runs on the board.

Hampshire Hawks vs Kent Spitfires Match Toss Prediction

The match will be place at Southampton’s Ageas Bowl. The pitch is firm and bouncy, which appeals to batsmen and pace bowlers both.

Hampshire Hawks vs Kent Spitfires Pitch Report

So far, teams batting first have won three of the four games played. Batting on this surface has been difficult, and it is becoming more difficult as the game proceeds, with batsmen trying to time the ball in the second innings. In this game, the team that wins the toss will bat first.

Hampshire Hawks Team News & Probable Playing XIs

James Vince’s team has had a fantastic turnaround. They had lost their first four games of the season, but have now won four straight. In the previous game, they defeated Glamorgan by 9 runs. The bowling attack has performed admirably in previous games, which should boost the team’s confidence. With a win in this game, Vince would like his players to maintain their momentum and move closer to a berth in the quarterfinals.

Kent Spitfires Team News & Probable Playing XIs

The last game against Somerset was a great triumph for Sam Billings’ team. They scored a large amount of runs and won by 32 runs. The team, on the other hand, has found its stride a little too late in the season. They’ve only won two games so far and are at the bottom of the standings. As they try to improve their position on the points table, Billings wants to see a solid performance from his men.
