For the bowling department, Scott Currie has 7 wickets at an economy of 6.50.

Hampshire Hawks vs Kent Spitfires Prediction

This should be a heated game considering the pressure on Hampshire Hawks to continue their good run, while Kent Spitfires aim to end their poor runs. However, quality in this squad and momentum will matter. For Hampshire Hawks, I feel they will be in control of this game the more with their level of play at the moment. Yet, Kent Spitfires do not look like a side that can be written off with their performances in the last two games of this encounter. Moreover, a bet on many runs is one, as the two teams' past meetings have ended in a high offensive play, as Hampshire Hawks are expected to extend their winning run.
