T20 Blast 2026 | WOR vs SOM & KENT vs HAM Match Prediction | 66th & 67th Match – Who Will Win Worcestershire vs Somerset & Kent vs Hampshire Match?

Worcestershire vs Somerset & Kent vs Hampshire – 66th & 67th Match

The T20 Blast 2026 continues with two important matches on Sunday, June 28. Worcestershire Rapids will face Somerset in the 66th Match at County Ground New Road, while Kent Spitfires will take on Hampshire Hawks in the 67th Match at St Lawrence Ground. Both matches are scheduled to begin at 2:30 PM local time, 1:30 PM GMT, and 7:30 PM Bangladesh Time.

Worcestershire will depend on key players like Brett D’Oliveira, Adam Hose, Ethan Brookes, Gareth Roderick, Kashif Ali, Ben Dwarshuis, Jacob Duffy, Tom Taylor, Fateh Singh, and Usama Mir. Their batting lineup has some useful options, but they will need a strong start and better middle-order support to challenge a strong Somerset side. Brett D’Oliveira and Adam Hose can play important roles with the bat, while Ben Dwarshuis, Jacob Duffy, and Usama Mir will be key with the ball.

Somerset look stronger overall with a powerful and aggressive T20 lineup. Will Smeed and Tom Banton can give Somerset a fast start in the powerplay, while Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Sean Dickson, Lewis Gregory, and Ben Green add depth and balance. Their bowling attack also looks dangerous with Craig Overton, Matt Henry, Riley Meredith, and Jack Leach. Somerset’s biggest strength is their ability to attack from the beginning and keep pressure on the opposition throughout the innings.

The County Ground New Road pitch usually supports stroke play, and batters can score quickly once they settle. However, seamers may get some early movement, especially with the new ball. Worcestershire will need early wickets to stop Tom Banton and Will Smeed from dominating the powerplay. A first-innings score of around 165-180 could be competitive at this venue.

In the second match, Kent Spitfires will look for a strong performance against Hampshire Hawks. Their key players include Daniel Bell-Drummond, Tawanda Muyeye, Sam Billings, Joe Denly, Jack Leaning, Grant Stewart, Wes Agar, Matt Parkinson, and Fred Klaassen. Kent’s chances will depend heavily on Daniel Bell-Drummond and Sam Billings. If their top order performs well, Kent can put pressure on Hampshire, but they will need support from their all-rounders and bowlers.

Hampshire come into this match as favorites because of their more balanced squad and stronger bowling attack. James Vince, Toby Albert, Tom Prest, Joe Weatherley, Benny Howell, Liam Dawson, and Ben McDermott give them solid batting options. Their bowling unit also has quality with Chris Wood, Scott Currie, John Turner, and Liam Dawson. Hampshire have better balance in both departments, and their bowling attack can control the game if they pick up early wickets.

The St Lawrence Ground usually offers good batting conditions, but spinners can get assistance later in the match. Kent will need to avoid early wickets and build partnerships, while Hampshire’s bowlers will look to control the middle overs. A first-innings score of around 160-175 could be competitive depending on conditions.

Prediction: Worcestershire 35% – Somerset 65%, Kent 40% – Hampshire 60%.
