KET vs ESS Dream11 prediction: Match preview

Currently in second place on the South Group table, Kent need just one win out of their two remaining matches to make it through to the quarter-finals of the Blast. Considering that their next match is against table-toppers Surrey, Kent will hope to seal their qualification with a quick win tonight. Sam Billings’ return to the team will provide them with the boost they need in their quest. Their form has been decent, with a record of two losses and three wins in their last five. They also have a 4-1 record over Kent from their last five meetings.

Meanwhile, Essex is in a far more precarious situation. They will need to win today’s match as well as their next fixture against Sussex to stay in contention for a place in the quarter-finals. Even if they manage to pull this off, Essex will have to say a Hail Mary and hope that other results favour them as well. After a bad start, Essex has found form, winning two matches on the trot, but this may have come a bit too late for the side.
