SUS vs KET Semi Final 2 T20 Blast Predictions & Betting Tips

Sussex will take on Kent as they play the Semi Final 2 of the Vitality T20 Blast, 2021. The match will be played at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Saturday, September 18. I have collated the best of the three betting tips from the SUS vs KET head-to-head match for you.

The Semi-finals of the T20 Blast are here. Sussex vs Kent will be the second game of the day followed by the finals. Sussex qualified for the knockout stages in third place in the group stage, while Kent Spitfires will head into this fixture as table-toppers with nine wins from 14 games. Sussex's campaign has been marred by bad weather five of their matches were called off due to the rain. Sussex is coming off a close win by 5 wickets against Yorkshire in the Quarter Final 1.

Kent on the other hand, smashed Warwickshire in the Quarter Final 4 and registered a win by 21 runs. The Semi Final will be a tense affair as the two teams are divided by two points in the standing and are placed neck to neck in the ladder. However, since Kent has not been in the finals since 2009 it is a big occasion for the team who will make every effort to seal the match. On the other hand Sussex Sharks are a strong team in their own way and will want to continue their winning momentum from the last two matches. As for now, take a look at the top three betting tips from the Sussex vs Kent Semi final match prediction.

SUS vs KET Team Bets:

The oddsmakers are backing Sussex to win the match but the match statistics speak otherwise. The affiliates have not been able to offer us any player odds for the upcoming match hence we have taken the privilege of collating the top three KET vs SUS team betting tips for you.

Kent To Be The Team With Top Batter

Kent have some good players up their ranks in Zak Crawley, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Jordan Cox and Jack Leaning to name a few in the batting department. Among the two teams, Daniel Bell-Drummond has the highest scores. He has smashed 392 runs from the 12 innings he has batted in. Zak Crawley is the next man with the second highest runs among the Kent batsmen. Crawley has amassed 330 runs in the 10 matches he has played this season. As a matter of fact Daniel Bell-Drummond is the eleventh highest run scorer in the Vitality T20 2021. His highest scores this season came while playing against Essex where the opening batsman struck 88 runs off 44 balls. Lastly we have Jordan Cox with the third highest runs from the Squad. Cox notched 309 runs from 10 matches this season.

While Sussex, on the other hand, have plenty of experienced players at their disposal. With the bat they have Luke Wright at the top. Wright has 360 runs to his name from the 10 matches played and looks to be in good form. However Sussex has two other batsmen, Phil Salt and Ravi Bopara who has been fetching runs for the team. While Phil Salt has made 293 runs, Ravi Bopara gathered 237 runs from the 11 matches played. However the differentiating factor between the two teams is Kent's top batsman, Daniel Bell-Drummond. Sportsbet.io has offered betting odds of 1.92 for Kent to be the team with top batter in the SUS vs KET match prediction.

Kent To Hit Most Match Sixes

Another reason why Kent has been able to station themselves at the top of the points table is because of their six hitting capabilities. This is one top bet from the forthcoming match which will give you an opportunity to double your money. Kent openers Zak Crawley and Daniel Bell-Drummond have proved to be every team's dream. They have individually put 17 and 14 sixes to the teams scoreboard. Jack Leaning was another surprise package who struck 13 sixes overall. All in all, Kent Spitfires have clobbered 73 sixes which averages at 5.2 six per match.

Sussex's momentum has been hampered by the continuous interruption from rain, this made them fall short of five matches in the group stage. Skipper, Phil Salt and Luke Wright have provided the side some steadiness this season. Wright comes in as the top run scorer for the squad, followed by Phil Salt. While Wright has been able to assemble 10 sixes, Salt went a little higher with 12 sixes. The team as a whole has put together 47 sixes in the ongoing edition which averages at 4.7 six per match. However, Kent steal the deal when it comes to gathering runs from bigger boundaries and Dafabet.com has offered betting odds of 2.10 for Kent to hit most match sixes in the SUS vs KET match prediction.

Kent To Win

I am not done with Kent as yet and here I will be signing off with the table toppers in my last betting tip as well. I have already given you a brief on how brilliantly the team has performed and stabilized themselves in the top position in the league stage. As mentioned earlier, the hiatus in Sussex's performance came due to rain coming their way in five of their matches. However from the ten matches that the team has played in total, they have taken the lead and won six matches. Out of which they scored the highest of 201 runs against Glamorgan with 201 runs.

As for Kent they have managed to play a total of 13 matches with one match being abandoned which was coincidentally scheduled to be played against Sussex. Out of the thirteen matches played in total, Kent has won nine matches and lost four. They scored 236 against Essex which was their highest score in the group stage. In most of the matches that the table toppers have played they have managed to hit above the 160 mark. This has primarily helped them win most of their games and station among one of the top teams in the T20 Blast, 2021. Kent and Sussex have clashed in 26 matches so far where Kent Spitfire has defeated Sussex in 14 matches out of them. Sportsbet.io has offered betting odds of 2.02 for Kent to win in the Sussex vs Kent head-to-head match.
