Middlesex vs Kent Spitfires Preview
- Martin Anderson has 15 wickets in the competition and was a threat at Lord’s in the last game. As Middlesex’s leading wicket-taker versus Kent Spitfires, he is certainly worth backing.
- Captain Steve Eskinazi was run-out on Friday, but in this format, he’s a great opener. We think he’ll be Middlesex’s leading run scorer in this match.
- Joe Denly, who has hit 317 runs in this year’s tournament, is our pick to be the Kent Spitfires’ leading run scorer against Middlesex.
In the 2022 Vitality Blast, Middlesex will face Kent Spitfires. On Sunday, June 19th, the game will begin at 14:30 local time at Lord’s.
Middlesex has only six points from nine games in this year’s T20 Blast, and they come into this game on the heels of six consecutive losses.
On Friday evening, the Kent Spitfires were unable to contain Hampshire Hawks captain James Vince, and were defeated by 54 runs on the south coast in Southampton. As a result, the 2021 T20 Blast Champions are relegated to the bottom of the South Group.
