Kent Spitfires vs Essex prediction
Kent Spitfires have been comfortably the better team over the course of the competition so far, but have struggled to put a consistent run of positive results together of late and their lack of Blast success down years could have an adverse effect of them psychologically, knowing that anything less than victory here eliminates them.
Frustratingly for Kent, bitter rivals Essex are the visitors and they’ve turned unexpectedly hot, winning three of their last four. Changes to the batting line-up have worked and key players like Jordan Cox are making big contributions, none bigger than Cox’s incredible unbeaten century against Hampshire Hawks less than 24 hours prior to this match. The lack of pressure and jeopardy is clearly working well for the Eagles and it would be no surprise if they were to get one over on their near neighbours.
