Kent Spitfires return to Twenty20 Cup action against Hampshire Hawks at Tunbridge Wells
Kent Spitfires return to Twenty20
Cup action on Monday when they entertain Hampshire Hawks at
Tunbridge Wells.
It is the first time that Tunbridge
Wells has hosted Twenty20 Cup cricket and officials are expecting a
near sell-out at The Nevill Ground.
The match will also see the 100,000th
spectator at a Twenty20 Cup game in Kent, since the competition
started six years ago, come through the gates with a special
presentation planned by club officials.
Spitfires have four matches left to
play as they aim to qualify for the knockout stages for the third
successive season.
Kent travel to The Brit Oval on
Wednesday to take on Surrey Brown Caps before moving to The Rose
Bowl on Friday evening to face Hampshire Hawks in the return match
under floodlights.
They conclude their campaign at
Beckenham on Sunday when Surrey Brown Caps are the visitors.
Spitfires are in third place in the
South Division, three points behind leaders Sussex Sharks after
their controversial Duckworth/Lewis defeat at Hove before the
competition’s mid-season break.
