Weather and Pitch Report

There’s a 59% chance of rain in London, with a 48% likelihood of thunderstorms. However, the weather could be a bit cloudy this before the start of the match but before kickoff, South London should be warm and clear. The pitch has a good pace and bounce in the wicket, hence, both teams will be aiming for a first innings total of 185+ if they bat first on Thursday. The Oval is a pitch where the ball comes onto the bat at a good pace and most teams like to bat first. It would be a surprise if either skipper chose to field first.

Surrey County vs Kent Spitfires: Match Analysis

Surrey County have been inconsistent this season, and for the first time, they will hope to secure consecutive victories. In their opening game of the season, this team took on impressive Somerset and suffered a 147-149 defeat. However, they went to defeat Glamorgan in game two, ending in a 7-run win but then struggled against Hampshire. In the meantime, Surrey County's most recent game was against Kent and a 42-run win was enough to see this team get an easy pass. Ahead of this game, Surrey County have picked up four points from their first four league games this season, leaving them 5th in the league standings. 

Kent Spitfires will hope to avoid a defeat this time after a disappointing outing in their first meeting against Surrey County this season. However, that defeat was Kent Spitfires’ second this season after opening their season with a defeat to Derbyshire. Yet, their game against Gloucestershire ended in a 4-wicket win in a contest that ended 204-208. In the meantime, their most recent game against Hampshire ended in an 8-wicket win, ending 181-177. Ahead of this fixture, Kent Spitfires sit 4th in the standings with five points. 

Surrey County

In the last game of this fixture, Dom Sibley hit four boundaries Jason Roy, captain Sam Curran, Mitchell Santner and Ollie Sykes were all brilliant in hitting runs. With the ball, Mitchell Santner was the exceptional player, as he dominated Kent’s batters, returning figures of 3/28 from four overs.

Kent Spitfires

Tom Rogers showed some impressive performance against Hampshire and will be important in the bowling department after finishing 3/33. With the bat, Zak Crawley is in strong form and will look to continue so at this Test Match venue with the First Test against India not far away.

Surrey County vs Kent Spitfires Prediction

The two teams have been playing at closely the same level this season and we can expect a very tight contest here. No doubt, they have both had their struggling times and this game will definitely see a side go ahead of the other. In the meantime, coming from a win will be a very big boost as both teams’ momentum will be high going into this fixture. However, I feel this is a game where we should expect a lot of offensive play and while Surrey County have come are home favourites, I believe Kent Spitfires will end on the unlucky end.
