Billings have played 305 T20 matches and scored 5899 runs at an average of 23.88 and a strike rate of 132.05.

Our Prediction
Favorites to win
Kent
Hampshire have a decent bowling group but lack in the batting unit. A lot depends on their star batter and captain James Vince. He could score just nine runs in the match. Michael Nesser, Liam Dawson, James Fuller and John Turner bowled their hearts out but could not defend a 163-run target. They will be up against a better batting group this time. Therefore, we back Kent to emerge victorious.
