Somerset v Kent: T20 Blast betting preview, free tip & TV details

TV: Sky Sports Cricket, 7pm Saturday

There's just the one Twenty20 Blast encounter on Saturday but a heavyweight tussle between Somerset and Kent at Taunton could prove to be quite a spectacle.

Kent have won six of their eight matches in the competition but they missed the chance to create breathing space between themselves and Sussex by losing to the Sharks and Gloucestershire in two of their last three assignments.

Somerset, meanwhile, are enjoying an upturn in form with recent wins over Essex and Surrey, in which they posted 225 and 207 respectively.

Their top order were destructive when assisted by the short boundary away to the Eagles, with Tom Banton (39), Babar Azam (56), Tom Abell (45) and Ed Byrom (44) continuing to flex their willow-wielding muscle.

Pakistan opener Azam has barely put a foot wrong all summer and averaged 53.83 in his first seven matches of the competition. He could be a value bet to surpass his runs lines of 29.5 with Coral.

Recommendations
Somerset
1pt 8-11 Coral, Ladbrokes
B Azam to score 30 runs or more
1pt 5-6 Coral
