Canterbury has a good weather with sunshine expected for the entire match. No rain or weather interruptions are predicted by the forecasters.
Canterbury is a good placid wicket with good balance between the bat and ball. We expect bowlers to trouble the batsmen with the new ball as it might seam and swing around. Teams batting first scored 170+ runs in both the matches played here.
Teams opt to chase in both matches played here and lost but we expect captains to bowl first in this match too. Kent have an excellent team to take advantage of their home conditions.
Kent are in a roll with both their batting and bowling units performing well so far. Their bowlers have restricted the opposition and are performing well as a pack on their home conditions. Gloucestershire batting unit has good starts but have failed to 30-run mark barring Glenn Philips but have scored 170+ scores in both matches. Their bowling unit gave away 170+ runs in both matches and are struggling to restrict the opposition. We expect Kent to win this match owing to their home conditions and bowling performances in the matches so far.
Kent will in the match and register hat-trick of wins.
