In contrast, Kent has been inconsistent, managing just two wins in their last five games. Their bowling unit has struggled to contain runs. Despite the presence of experienced players like Sam Billings and Joe Denly, Kent have lacked the firepower to challenge stronger sides. Despite the head to head record being dominated by Kent, Somerset are more likely to win this fixture.
