In the next game from the South Group, Somerset and Kent will square off at the Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton. This would be the tournament opener for Somerset, whereas, Kent Spitfire will be playing their second game of the season.
Kent Spitfires will be gutted after the performance they put in their opening game against Hampshire. It was dominating show from Hampshire which saw them taming Kent by a margin of 90 runs. Sam Northeast’s imperative show with the bat took the game away from Kent as he scored a swashbuckling unbeaten 105 from 95 deliveries which included 7 fours and 2 maximums. This wasn’t the start the runners-up of the last season were looking for, but the traits this team posses, they aren’t far away from bouncing back.
Meanwhile, Somerset will be playing their first match of the season. They missed the playoffs berth by a whisker of a margin last time around where they finished fourth on the South Group table with 4 wins to their name from 8 matches. They will look to go one step further this season.
