Kent Spitfires vs Sussex Sharks prediction

Kent Spitfires opened their account with a 27-run win at Lord’s against Middlesex. Having posted 208-6 with captain Sam Billing starring with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 84 from just 37 balls, Kent then restricted Middlesex to just 180-8 in their response.

Sussex Sharks, who have began the County Championship season well, earned themselves a six-wicket victory against the Essex Eagles the other night – with half-centuries from James Coles and John Simpson supporting a good opening knock from Daniel Hughes.

Both of these sides put in good performances the other day and both scored quickly and heavily. A high-scoring game appears in store, albeit one in which Sam Billings would appear a decent bet to be the top scorer once again.
