Middlesex vs Kent Spitfires prediction
Middlesex, famously, are basically the worst team ever at T20 cricket – anywhere in the world, with a woeful record. That didn’t improve too much last season with three victories and nine defeats and off-field issues leave them with little to go at again here.
Kent have endured a tough start to their County Championship campaign but they may well be better prepared for white-ball cricket with Zak Crawley’s dropping from Test cricket and white-ball specialists such as Sam Billings, Fred Klaassen, Tom Rogers and Dian Forrester.
Kent head to Lord’s looking to put their red-ball form behind them and backing the Spitfires to get an opening game victory would appear a decent bet for this one.
