Pre-Match Analysis:

Despite batting so well in the recent matches, Kent are finding different ways to lose the contest as their bowlers letting the side down by conceding runs quite easily. They dropped their last game against Essex by 4 wickets to suffer 5 losses on the trot. This time their bowlers gave their everything however not able to defend 150 runs. Overall there is still enough room for improvement in the batting as only 3 half-centuries have come from their batters willow.

Hampshire are at their level best at the moment and leaving no stone unturned with 4 wins in their last 5 matches. Their strength lies in the top order who has got immense potential to win matches. They handed table toppers Somerset their 1st loss in this competition by 5 runs on Wednesday.
