Middlesex Preview
Middlesex batting unit were set a mountain of 224 runs to chase in this match. Their top-3 of Stephen Eskinazi (36 runs), Paul Stirling (58 runs), and Eoin Morgan (32 runs) kept scoring runs at a good rate and scored 130+ runs in the first 13 overs. But the run rate pressure got them back and they kept losing wickets easily in the middle overs to finish with just 169 runs on board in 20 overs.
Chris Green was their most economic bowler with figures of 4-0-25-1 while the other spinner Nathan Sowter and Skipper Steve Finn picked up 3 & 2 wickets respectively in the match. Ethan Bamber and Blake Cullen`s combined 5 overs cost 84 runs for the team. Their bowlers need to rethink their line of attack in this match.
Top players to bet on:
Paul Stirling: Stirling brought life into the chase with 58 runs off 28 balls with 5 boundaries and 4 sixes. But he was unlucky to be run-out due to miscommunication and will be eager to bat again.
Nathan Sowter: Sowter had bowling figures of 4-0-40-3 and he in fact bowled the last over with his leg breaks. He kept taking wickets in almost every over and his one big over of 15 runs spoiled his bowling figures.
Middlesex Predicted Playing XI:
Paul Stirling, Stephen Eskinazi, Max Holden, Eoin Morgan (c), John Simpson (wk), Luke Hollman, Chris Green, Nathan Sowter, Blake Cullen, Steven Finn, Tom Helm/Tim Murtagh

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Canterbury has pleasant weather in the temperature range of mid 20s and no weather interruptions will be expected in this match whatsoever.
Venue Details
Canterbury is a good pitch to bat on and batsmen will look to take advantage of the field restrictions in the powerplay. The ball might aid spinners once it slows down in middle overs. We can expect runs around 170-180 runs in this match.
Toss: To Bowl
Chasing is the best option as no target is safe in T20 matches and all captains elected to field first so far in the T20 Blast this season.
KENT vs MDX
Winning Prediction
Both teams relied heavily on the likes of their top-3 batsmen in the last game to score the bulk of runs for team. Middlesex has a slightly better-quality batting line-up with international stars Eoin Morgan and Paul Stirling in their team XI. Kent bowlers performed well in the opening match while Middlesex struggled with fourth and fifth bowling options. We expect Middlesex to win this match as they have more experienced players at the big stage in both batting and bowling departments.
