Kent Spitfires vs Middlesex Chance of Winning

Kent Spitfires are coming off a five-wicket loss against Somerset in their last match, where their batters struggled heavily. Batting first, Kent managed to score a modest total of 137/8; Joe Denly (40 runs) and Jack Leaning (37 runs) were the top scorers. Then, with the ball, Nathan Gilchrist, Joey Evison, Wes Agar, and Matt Parkinson took one wicket each. This is the third loss for Kent in their last five matches.Kent are two points behind Glamorgan and need to win their next two matches to stay in the top four race. So, this is a must-win game for the home side.

Meanwhile, Middlesex head into this contest on the back of a dominant 23-run victory over Gloucestershire in their last match. Middlesex, batting first, posted a good score of 189/5, courtesy of half-centuries from Ben Geddes (54 runs) and Kane Williamson (52 runs). Ryan Higgins played a good little cameo at the end (28* runs). Luke Hollman and Sebastian Morgan starred with the ball, taking two wickets each.Though Middlesex still has an outside chance of making it to the top four, their qualification largely depends on other team results, but they can still stay in the race if they win their last three matches.

Kent Spitfires haven't had the best of times at their home ground in Canterbury this season, where they lost four of the five matches played. But against Middlesex, they have a dominant record at home and have the better chance of winning.
