Even though Joe Denly did not have a great outing against Surrey in the last game, he has had a bright start to the campaign. So far this season he has scored 254 runs in three matches with an average of 42.33 which is brilliant. We believe Denly would continue his brilliance in the upcoming game and would score well.
Luke Wells was the shining light in what was a shocking defeat against Essex. Wells was the leading run scorer in the game for Lancashire. So far this season, Wells has scored 139 runs with an average of 34.75 which is pretty decent for a top order and we expect him to score well in the upcoming game.

Both sides Kent and Lancashire have had an underwhelming start to the campaign as both sides remain winless after three rounds of fixtures.

In two of the three games Lancashire has managed to have a better opening partnership which makes us believe they would end up with a better opening partnership in the upcoming game.
