The St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury will be hosting the next South Group match which will be played between Kent Spitfires and Essex Eagles. The Spitfires finally registered their first win of the season in their previous game against Surrey by 8 wickets.
The win though was a bit too late for them as they are left with only two games now including this one, and their chances to finish among the top three in this group are already gone. Talking about their current position on the points table, after only one win from 6 matches they are placed at the 8th position.
Meanwhile, Essex Eagles are sailing on the same ship alike their counterparts as they are placed just above Kent at the seventh position on the points table. They have managed only two wins so far which came against Hampshire by 111 runs and against Glamorgan by 160 runs. These two big wins helped them to have a healthy net run-rate which can play a major role when the qualification scenario gets even more intense.
