Kent Spitfires Team News & Probable Playing XIs
This season has been a letdown for Sam Billings’ team. The defending champions have only won two games this season and are out of the running for a spot in the next round. Zak Crawley and Joe Denly have both struggled to get off to a solid start, and they will need to do so again in this game. The side will be hoping for a solid spell from Fred Klaassen and Matt Milnes, who bowled bad lines in the previous game.
