Kent will take on Warwickshire in the fourth quarter-final of the T20 Blast 2021 at St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury. Kent finished at the top of the points table in the South Group, while Warwickshire finished fourth.

The sides have only met once, in 2008, a match Kent won by 42 runs.

Team News

Daniel Bell-Drummond will return the side, probably for George Munsey. After being dropped from England's Test squad, Zak Crawley will also be available for this clash.

Warwickshire will miss Kyle Mayers and their leading wicket-taker, Carlos Brathwaite. However, Jake Lintott, Danny Briggs and Adam Hose will be available for selection.

Fantasy Tip

  • Pick Sam Hain, Will Rhodes and Bell-Drummond as batters in your team.
  • Crawley has been in fine touch in limited-overs cricket. You can take a punt on him.
  • Chris Benjamin made 60 in 34 balls for Warwickshire in the last game. He also bowls medium pace, and is a handy player for a fantasy team.
