Kent Spitfires take on Sussex at St. Lawrence Ground in Canterbury in a South Group fixture. The T20 Blast is heading towards its business end. Three game days left before we move on to the knockouts. Friday fest welcomes us with plenty of action from the tournament. Kent are in fourth position with 14 points in 12 matches, winning seven and losing five games. On the other hand, Sussex are in seventh place with 10 points from 12 matches, winning just five and losing seven matches.

The Spitfires are in prolific form winning the last six games on the bounce and getting themselves up after a horrible start they have had to the competition. A win in this match will keep them in the hunt for the next round. On the other hand, Sussex Sharks, they have blown hot and cold this season. Despite being in poor form, the Ravi Bopara-led side managed to be on the right side of the results in their last two matches, starting a winning streak which might have come a little too late for them. A win here might get their confidence growing but the quarterfinals are almost out of their reach.
