Three wins on the trot in the County Championship with three wins out of four in the T20 clearly mean that Sussex are on a good run. After the impressive display in the County Championship against Glamorgan, Sussex now face a run of 10 T20 games in 22 days as they bid for qualification to the latter stages.
A defeat to Surrey in the last T20 game brought Sussex back down to earth after three wins on the road. Sussex continue their travels as they head to Canterbury. Kent are currently top of the Southern section with three wins and one defeat but have played one more game than Sussex. The point gained in a no result game was fortuitous as Surrey had scored a massive 250 before the rain intervened.
Kent have been involved in three close T20 games with two wins and one defeat by less than ten runs. Their only defeat was a narrow defeat to Gloucestershire. Sam Billings and Heino Kuhn have both scored 151 runs in 4 innings for Kent while Joe Denly and Carlos Braithwaite have picked up 9 wickets albeit at 9 or more runs per over.
Recent results between Kent and Sussex have gone in each team’s favour although last season few will forget the tied match at Hove in a rain affected game. In the return at Canterbury last season, Sussex successfully chased 163 to win by 5 wickets thanks partly to 73 not out from Chris Nash and three wickets for Chris Jordan.
A fourth win would put Sussex in a strong position in the table after five games. Can Sussex follow up their impressive County Championship with yet another T20 away win? We will see.
