Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Kent

Kent are the favourites to win the match against the hosts Sussex. Both teams are coming off victories in their last matches. Expect a tough contest between both teams. Kent slightly has an edge over Sussex as their top-order batsmen are in great form with their bowling attack performing collectively. Sussex lacks consistency at the top of the order and their bowlers failed to close out games in pressure situations. We predict Kent to win the match against Sussex and register their fifth win of the season.

Sussex to win the match @ 2.145

Kent to win the match @ 1.704
