KET vs SUR Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing 11 Updates for Today's T20 Blast Match - July 2nd, 2021

The South Group of the T20 Blast 2021 will see Surrey take on Kent at the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury on Friday.

Kent have been one of the teams to beat in the South Group with six wins in 11 games. With a power-packed batting unit comprising of Zak Crawley and captain Daniel Bell-Drummond, Kent are nearly through to the knockout stage of the T20 Blast. Although they head into the game on the back of a thumping loss to Somerset earlier in the week, they will fancy their chances of a win, and potentially topping the table as well.

However, they will face a strong Surrey side that currently tops the table. Although a couple of their star players aren't available due to international duty, Surrey's depth and resourcefulness have shone through in the T20 Blast. Kyle Jamieson's addition has added some much-needed firepower to their bowling attack, which will be key against a strong Kent batting unit.

Although there isn't much to separate the two sides on paper, home advantage could prove to be key for Kent. Nevertheless, a cracking T20 Blast game beckons, with both sides looking to seal a spot in the knockout stages on Friday.

Pitch Report

The St Lawrence Ground has seen its fair share of runs and entertainment, with another relatively high-scoring T20 Blast game on the cards tonight. Although there is movement available off the surface, the batsmen will go on the attack from ball one. The pitch might slow down in the middle overs, bringing the spinners into play. Wickets in hand will be key, with both teams expected to launch an attack towards the death overs. 160-170 should be par at the venue, with both teams looking to bat first upon winning the toss.
