The Vitality blast has reached its final stages and there are four teams that are in the semis and all of them would need to get their hands on the trophy. The semi-finals and the final will be taking place in the gorgeous Edgbaston, Birmingham.
Those interested in the Fantasy Betting Tips are going to be keeping their eye on the pitch and how the players are going to play and also how the pitch is going to assist them.
Edgbaston is a ground which would be good for the batsmen and as they are going to score big. The current games that have been played on this pitch have all led to big scores. The most recent game saw scores of 191 and 177 scored in the two innings. So, you can expect that there is going to be no shortage of runs here on this pitch and we have some really big hitters in the teams so backing batters here is the better option.
Let us now have an analysis of all the teams and see which team has the biggest chance of winning the competition,
Hampshire – They are looking like the team which is going to be the dark horses in the competition. We have often seen in T20 competitions that the teams that peak in important situation often get the win. They were fourth on the table and barely managed to qualify on a slightly better run rate than Surrey who were tied with them on 15 points. They also scraped through in the quarter finals with a 2 runs win. While they may be the weakest of the teams, it could also go in their favor that they have played the closer of the games and have shown character
Somerset – Somerset finished the group stages with 18 points and were pretty dominant. They would go into their game against the Hampshire team as the favorites after they knocked off the Lancashire team in the most dominant manner with the 7-wickets triumph they had. They will be looking to come up with another dominant performance as they go ahead and defeat the resistance which maybe offered by the Hampshire team. You do not expect them to relent in any way here and that is what you feel the champion teams to do.
Sussex – Sussex is the third of the South Group team which qualified for the semis and they are going to face the table toppers. They finished the table in 3rd position with a total of 17 points and defeated the Yorkshire team in the quarterfinals. Now this is going to be a big confidence booster for them as they defeated a good team by 5 wickets in a dominant display and would feel confident going into the competition this time around. If they are able to overcome Kent here, they would feel that they are the favorites to lift the trophy.
Kent – Kent is the table topping team and perhaps the favorites to lift the trophy. The trophy seemed withing grasp when they were in the group stages leading their group and as it turned out, leading the group which had all the teams that made it to the semis. This is going to be the team that will set the benchmark. They are coming off a win against Warwickshire with a 21-run margin and would be in a good frame of mind as they go into this game. They are the ones you should back when it comes to the fantasy cricket apps.
