TEAMS PREVIEW
Kent Preview
Kent have endured an inconsistent start to their 2026 One-Day Cup campaign, winning two of their first four matches to sit sixth in Group A with eight points. They began with a convincing five-wicket victory over Northamptonshire, but their momentum was halted by back-to-back defeats. Gloucestershire chased down Kent’s total by six wickets with 83 balls to spare, before Lancashire completed another comfortable six-wicket win, sealing victory with 13 balls remaining.
Kent responded in impressive fashion in their latest outing, bouncing back from those consecutive losses with a thrilling two-wicket victory over Somerset. Chasing a challenging target of 314, they reached 314/8 in 48.4 overs. Captain Daniel Bell-Drummond anchored the chase with a superb 100 off 109 balls, while Ekansh Singh provided crucial late acceleration with 40 from just 20 deliveries. Earlier, Matt Milnes led the bowling attack with 3/53, helping restrict Somerset to 313/9.
Bell-Drummond has been Kent’s standout batter this season, scoring 204 runs in four innings at an average of 51.00. Harry Finch has also been among the runs with 140 runs at an average of 35.00. With the ball, Matt Milnes has been Kent’s most successful bowler with five wickets in three matches at an economy of 4.80, while Ekansh Singh has also claimed five wickets in four games.
Kent will take plenty of confidence from their dramatic win over Somerset and will be hoping that result sparks a sustained run of form as they look to climb the Group A standings.

Nottinghamshire Preview
Nottinghamshire have enjoyed an impressive start to their 2026 One-Day Cup campaign, winning three of their opening four matches to climb to second place in Group A with 12 points. They opened their season with a four-wicket victory over Somerset, followed it up by edging Warwickshire by three wickets in a tense finish, and then comfortably defeated Leicestershire by five wickets with 45 balls to spare. Those performances showcased both their batting depth and their ability to handle pressure during run chases.
Their unbeaten run, however, came to an end in their most recent outing against Lancashire. Chasing 221, Nottinghamshire were bowled out for 189 in 47.1 overs, suffering a 31-run defeat—their first loss of the tournament. Kyle Verreynne fought hard with 61 off 87 balls, while Liam Patterson-White added 39, but the middle order failed to build partnerships after Lancashire’s bowlers applied sustained pressure.
Verreynne has been Nottinghamshire’s standout batter this season, scoring 191 runs in four innings at an average of 63.66. Freddie McCann has provided valuable support with 158 runs, including two half-centuries. With the ball, Jack Pocklington has been exceptional, claiming 10 wickets in just three matches at an outstanding average of 10.80 and an economy of 4.32, placing him among the tournament’s leading wicket-takers. Lyndon James has complemented him well with 7 wickets in four matches.
Despite the setback against Lancashire, Nottinghamshire remain one of the strongest teams in Group A. They’ll be eager to bounce back quickly and strengthen their position in the race for the knockout stages.

KENT vs NOT Pitch Report
The venue for this match is Kent County Cricket Ground, Beckenham, also known as the Lloyds Bank Sports Ground. It is one of Kent County Cricket Club’s historic outgrounds.

Toss: To Bat
The limited ODI history at Kent County Cricket Ground, Beckenham slightly favours batting first. The only ODI played at the venue was won by the team setting the target, although it was a low scoring game. With the pitch generally offering good value for stroke play early before slowing slightly as the game progresses, the captain winning the toss should opt to bat first.
KENT vs NOT
Winning Prediction
Nottinghamshire enter this contest with the stronger overall record, sitting second in Group A with three wins from four matches and a positive net run rate of +0.219. Kent gained valuable momentum by chasing down 314 against Somerset, but they remain inconsistent after splitting their first four matches and carrying a negative NRR of -0.382. Nottinghamshire’s balanced attack, led by Jack Pocklington, and the consistent batting of Kyle Verreynne give them a slight edge despite their recent defeat.
We predict that Nottinghamshire will defeat Kent.
