Preview:
In the Group A matches of the English One-Day Cup 2021, we are all set to witness a clash between Sussex and Kent. Both the counties have been tested in this competition as they don’t necessarily have the stars whom they would have hoped for.
Sussex have played three matches and have not won a single game and the same is the case with Kent. Sussex have lost their matches against Lancashire and Hampshire while one match of theirs against Durham was abandoned. Kent lost to Durham and Worcestershire before their last fixture against Lancashire was called off due to rain.
Match Details:

Pitch Report:
The wicket in Hove has been quite flat in recent times and the batters have had a good time playing on this track. There will be some initial swing but once that is dealt with, batting would become easy.

Top Picks for SUS vs KET Dream11 Match:
Top Picks – Sussex
Travis Head is probably the most dependable batter in the Sussex line-up at this point. He has scored 108 runs in this tournament so far.
David Wiese has played only one match so far in this tournament, but there is no doubt that he would be an important player going ahead in this tournament for his team.
Top Picks – Kent
Darren Stevens has been getting better with time it seems and he has done extremely well in this English summer so far. He has scored 26 runs with the bat and also taken two wickets.
George Munsey has been a stand-out performer for the Kent team so far in this competition. He has scored 204 runs in three matches. He is a strong middle order batter.

Suggested Playing XI No.1 for SUS vs KET Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:
O George-Robinson, O Carter, H Finch, George Munsey (C), Travis Head (C), D Wiese, Darren Stevens, D Ibrahim, W Beer, J Logan, A Lenham
Suggested Playing XI No.2 for SUS vs KET Dream11 Fantasy Cricket:
O Carter (VC), T Haines, T Clark, Harry Finch (C), George Munsey, J Coles, David Wiese, Darren Stevens, M Milnes, H Crocombe, A Lenham
SUS vs KET Risky Captaincy Choices:
A Lenham is a very young player and has played only two List A matches. He is a good performer but it would be risky.
O Carter is a wicket-keeper batter, who is capable of scoring runs at crucial stages of the game, but it should be noted that he can blow hot and blow cold.
Player you should avoid:
Aron Nijjar is quite young into his List A career and doesn’t have a great record on his back. He has picked up only four wickets in six matches at an average of more than 50.
