Who Will Win Kent vs Middlesex 112th T20 Blast 2025 Prediction – 13th July
In this Kent vs Middlesex prediction for Match 112 of the T20 Blast 2025, all eyes are on The Spitfire Ground, Canterbury, as the Kent Spitfires take on a low-ranked Middlesex unit on Sunday, 13th July 2025. While Kent must win to stay in the race for the quarterfinals, Middlesex are already out of contention and will play for pride. Having won three of their last four head-to-head contests, Kent hold a mental edge, especially with the game on home turf.
Middlesex did manage to win their last outing against Gloucestershire but have endured a tough season overall. Meanwhile, Kent lost their previous game to Somerset and need a turnaround fast. Given the high stakes for Kent and their familiarity with conditions at Canterbury, they’ll start favorites to clinch this contest.

Kent Team Preview
The Kent Spitfires, under Sam Billings, have endured a mixed season and come into this game under pressure. Sitting at sixth, this match is a virtual do-or-die. They suffered a 5-wicket loss to Somerset in the previous game and must bounce back immediately.
Sam Billings, Joe Denly, and Chris Benjamin form the crux of the middle order. Denly’s form has been positive, and his dual role as a bowler adds depth. Openers Harry Finch and Tawanda Muyeye haven’t contributed consistently and need to deliver.
Bowling-wise, Fred Klaassen and Wes Agar will be vital with the new ball. Matthew Parkinson’s leg-spin and Denly’s part-time overs offer options in the middle phase, while Joey Evison and Gilchrist have the responsibility of death overs.
Key Players: Joe Denly, Sam Billings, Fred Klaassen, Chris Benjamin
Kent Predicted XI:
Sam Billings (c & wk), Tawanda Muyeye, Joe Denly, Harry Finch, Jack Leaning, Joey Evison, Chris Benjamin, Fred Klaassen, Wes Agar, Nathan Gilchrist, Matthew Parkinson
Middlesex Team Preview
Middlesex finally found a win against Gloucestershire in their last game, but it’s come too late in the tournament. Leus du Plooy, now leading the side, will look to inspire a young squad to finish strongly.
Kane Williamson was clinical in the previous game and will be key alongside du Plooy and Ryan Higgins. However, Stephen Eskinazi’s poor form remains a concern. The top and middle order need to bat together and avoid collapses.
Their bowling attack looked improved with Sebastian Morgan and Noah Cornwell making early inroads, while Tom Helm and Higgins will be tasked with maintaining pressure. The spin duo of Luke Hollman and Zafar Gohar could play a crucial role at Canterbury.
Key Players: Kane Williamson, Ryan Higgins, Tom Helm, Leus du Plooy
Middlesex Predicted XI:
Leus du Plooy (c), Stephen Eskinazi, Kane Williamson, Sebastian Morgan, Ben Geddes, Ryan Higgins, Joe Cracknell (wk), Luke Hollman, Zafar Gohar, Tom Helm, Noah Cornwell

Expect them to use this do-or-die fixture to spark a strong performance and keep playoff hopes alive.
