Hampshire vs Kent match prediction 14 Sep 2020

Hampshire vs Kent | Guaranteed Bets you Cannot Afford to Miss

Hampshire Royals will take on Kent Spitfires in match number 60 of the Vitality T20 Blast 2020 at The Rose Bowl, in Southampton, on September 14, Monday.

Hampshire have work to do as the Vitality Blast 2020 season is approaching the business end of the competition. With just 1 win in 6 matches, Hampshire Royals, as they are popularly known as in this competition, are in all sorts of trouble. Kent, on the other hand, have been quite impressive and now they have a really good chance of climbing to the top of the points table. If they defeat Kent Spitfires they will definitely reduce the gap from the top team Sussex, who are also likely to win against Essex tomorrow evening. Meanwhile, I have gathered three of the best bets from the encounter between Hampshire and Kent. Why don't you take a closer look at them one by one, shall we?

Kent Spitfires to win

This was a rather easy choice for me as I spotted this opportunity to make guaranteed cash on Monday evening. Bet 365 is offering odds of 1.66 and money making could not get easier than this! The two teams have played 28 head-to-head matches against each other and both Hampshire Royals and Kent Spitfires have won 14 a piece. I know that would ring a few alarm bells but for now, hold on to those nerves as I am going to share a piece of statistics with you right now - Kent Spitfires have won 6 out of their last 7 clashes against Hampshire Royals! Feeling more confident now? Wait, there’s more - Kent Spitfires are placed third on the South Group points table of the ongoing season of the Vitality T20 Blast. They have won 3 of their 6 matches so far and tied 1 with just 1 loss against their name. Hampshire Royals, on the other hand, have lost 4 out of their 6 games so far winning just a solitary game. The current form is definitely pointing us towards just one direction and we should not let this opportunity slip through our hands tomorrow.

Daniel Bell-Drummond to be the top team batsman for Kent Spitfires

The 27-year old English batsman Daniel Bell-Drummond has been nothing but special for Kent Spitfires. His T20 career has seen him featuring in 96 matches scoring 2726 runs at an average of 30.97 including 1 century and 21 fifties. Bell-Drummond is currently the fourth highest run scorer of the ongoing edition of the Vitality T20 Blast with 257 runs to his name in 6 matches at an average of 51.40 including two fifties. In the 2018 season of the Vitality T20 Blast, Bell-Drummond was the second highest run getter for Kent Spitfires with 372 runs to his name at an average of 31.00. In the following season (2019), Bell-Drummond stepped up his performance with his piece of willow and went on to become the highest run scorer for Kent Spitfires with 317 runs at an average of 26.41 including three half centuries. This season he has already gone off to a brilliant start - 29, 81, 22, 25, 72 and 28* - these are his last 6 scores in this tournament and it clearly shows that he has been on a roll. Bet 365 is offering odds of 3.30 for Daniel Bell-Drummond to be the top team batsman for Kent Spitfires and this is a risk I am willing to take considering the kind of form he has been in.

Expect at least 23 runs from the bat of Zak Crawley

Zak Crawley has been having quite a decent season with the bat this calendar year and there's no denying it. First it was the longest format of the game for England and now in this particular format of the game for Kent Spitfires, Crawley has been really impressive. He is the second highest run scorer for Kent Spitfires with 196 runs in 6 matches at an average of 39.20 including one fifty against his name. Crawley was the second highest runs scorer for Kent in the previous season of the Vitality T20 Blast as well as he had racked up 307 runs at an average of 27.90. Crawley's scores this season so far - 16, 28, 62, 32, 31 and 22* proves that he has gone past the 23-run mark on four occasions. He has played three matches against Hampshire Royals and has 52 runs against them at an average of 26.00. As you can see, all the scenarios are working in our favour and Bet 365 is offering odds of 1.83 for Zak Crawley to score at least 23 runs against Hampshire Royals.
