Kent vs Nottinghamshire Chances of Winning

The defending champions, Kent are having quite an impressive run in their current campaign of the One-Day Cup. After two unfortunate losses, they are back on track after registering two splendid victories in the tournament. With 3 wins and 2 losses, they are placed at the 3rd place of the Group A standings with 6 points and a net run rate of -0.770.

On the other hand, Nottinghamshire fell into a pit after three consecutive losses in their campaign. Their batting performances were disappointing that led them straight to the defeat in the last three games. With 2 wins and 3 losses, Nottinghamshire find themselves at the 5th place of the same group table as the former. They have 5 points and a net run rate of -0.213.

Kent has a much better batting line-up than Nottinghamshire in the competition. Contrastingly, Nottinghamshire have struggled to score runs while losing out on wickets very swifty, as evident from their last few games. They lost all their wickets in their last three games which tells volumes about their fragile batting order. On the other hand, the expensive bowling might be another reason for their humiliating defeats in the competition. Kent looks good on paper and is expected to come out on top in the upcoming game.

Kent vs Nottinghamshire Betting Odds

Nottinghamshire to score under 54.5 runs in the first 10 overs

Nottinghamshire are struggling with their batting order. Their top order went out cheaply in the five games pretty swifty. This affected their score in the first 10 overs that read as 50, 42, 29, 48 & 51 runs. In the previous match, the top-order failed to deliver notable scores for Nottinghamshire. Calvin Harrison, Matthew Montgomery and Tom Loten fought hard with the bat but it wasn't enough as Nottinghamshire could only muster 51 runs in the initial ten overs. Moreover, with Kent’s bowling order, it will not be easy to score runs in the upcoming fixture.

Lyndon James to be Nottinghamshire’s Best Batter

At the moment, Lyndon James holds the top position in Nottinghamshire's run leaderboard. He posted the scores of 32, 82, 4, 71 & 7 runs in his five outings of the tournament. That sums up to 196 runs in 5 games, averaging at 39.20. His last notable performance was when he scored 71 runs off 66 deliveries against Surrey. His impressive skills makes him a batting threat in the team.

Kent vs Nottinghamshire Best Bowlers

Matt Parkinson to be Kent’s Best Bowler

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Kent

Kent currently occupies the third position in Group A standings. In the previous match, the top-order of Daniel Bell-Drummond, Jack Leaning and Ben Compton smashed half-centuries to help Kent post a competitive 288 runs in their allotted 50 overs. It was a fairly easy victory as they bundled out the entire Middlesex squad at 155 to win the game by 133 runs. Except Grant Stewart, every bowler managed to reap 2 wickets in the game.

However, the narrative takes a different turn for Nottinghamshire. Their batting order collapsed time and again in the competition. In their last outing against Middlesex, they conceded 355 runs bowling first. Chasing the target, there were no major notable performances in their batting order. The team were all out for 231 in the 41st over, giving away a 134 run victory to Middlesex, their third defeat in a row.

In their last five clashes in the format, both teams split the wins. However, the last two collisions have landed in Kent’s favour. Based on current form, Host Kent will be favourites to win their game against Nottinghamshire. With the likes of Daniel-Bell Drummond, Ben Compton and Jack Leaning in excellent form, the team management will be hoping that the side can put in a clinical batting performance in this fixture.
