Match Details

This clash will be held on June 29 (Tuesday) and will commence at 11:30 PM IST.
Preview
Kent have been pretty impressive this season, winning six of their first nine games. The Daniel Bell-Drummond-led side has performed well as a unit and is subsequently holding the second place in the South Group team standings. Notably, Kent are coming off a 10-wicket triumph over Somerset and would be determined to replicate their stellar show.
On the other hand, Sussex have also not done much wrong this season. They started the tournament on a grand note, registering victories in their first three games. However, four of their next five fixtures got washed out due to rain while their only defeat came against Gloucestershire. Hence, Luke Wright’s men would back themselves to win this contest.

Captaincy Picks for SUS vs KET
Zak Crawley
The England international has been on a roll this season and will be a major threat for Sussex bowlers. Crawley can attack bowlers from the outset and his knack of staying at the crease for long makes him a headache for opposition captains. So far, the opener has mustered 257 runs in six games at a staggering strike rate of 155.73.
Joe Denly
Crawley’s partner-in-crime Joe Denly has also enjoyed a fruitful season so far. While the 35-year-old has played a couple of handy cameos, his bowling prowess has been a major boon for Kent. The leg-spinner has so far scalped seven wickets in nine games at a sensational economy rate of 7.24.
