Vitality T20 Blast 2022, Match 29, Gloucestershire vs Kent: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

Gloucestershire are up against Kent in the 29th match of the Vitality T20 Blast 2022. The County Ground in Bristol is set to host this contest, which is a South Group fixture.

Gloucestershire previously suffered a 37-run defeat in a low-scoring affair against Surrey. Tom Smith and Paul van Meekeren picked up three wickets each as they bowled Surrey out for 129 runs. However, their batters made a mess of the chase as they could only get to 92 in the end. Ryan Higgins top-scored with 37 but found no support from any of the other batters.

Kent, on the other hand, continue to struggle in the tournament. They crashed to their third consecutive defeat from as many games against Sussex. Sussex put up a challenging total of 171/5 batting first.

In reply, Kent put up a spirited chase but fell agonisingly short, ending at 167/7. Joe Denly (33), Sam Billings (31) and George Linde (38*) were their key contributors with the bat. They will be desperate to register their first win and get on a winning streak from here.

This is a crucial fixture for both sides, particularly for the defending champions Kent.
