Surrey (SUR) will face Kent (KET) in a T20 Blast 2022 South Group fixture at the Kennington Oval in London on Friday, July 1.
Surrey have been the team to beat in the T20 Blast 2022 with nine wins in 11 completed games. Although their form has tapered off in recent times, they can call upon the likes of Jason Roy and Reece Topley to do the damage. Kent, meanwhile, are reeling at the bottom of the points table with only three wins so far. They will be without Sam Billings for this game owing to national duty. But they have a decent roster capable of springing a surprise on Surrey. With two valuable points up for grabs, a cracking game beckons at the Kia Oval.

Pitch Report
A high-scoring game is expected at the Kia Oval despite there being some help on offer for the pacers early on. The ball should skid onto the bat nicely under the lights, allowing the batters to go on the attack from ball one. There could be some turn available for the spinners in the middle overs, making for an intriguing contest between the bat and ball. Both teams will ideally look to chase upon winning the toss, with 170 being par at the venue.
Today’s SUR vs KET Dream11 match top picks
Wicketkeeper
Jamie Smith: Jamie Smith has been a good asset in the top order for Surrey, scoring quick runs alongside Laurie Evans and Will Jacks. With Sam Curran and Jason Roy returning to the fold, Smith will have to settle for a lower-middle order slot. But given his returns in recent matches, he could be backed to score some quick runs and add value with his keeping skills as well.
Batter
Joe Denly: Joe Denly has been sensational for Kent this season, coming up with valuable knocks at the top of the order. He is an experienced campaigner who can also chip in with the ball. With the Kent star in decent form with the bat, he should be a good addition to your SUR vs KET Dream11 fantasy team.
All-rounder
Will Jacks: While Surrey's international stars have flown in and out of the roster, Jacks' batting returns have held the Surrey batting unit afloat. The youngster has been brilliant with the bat, scoring 422 runs at a fair rate. With Jacks also adding value with the ball, he is a must-have in your SUR vs KET Dream11 fantasy team.
Bowler
Qais Ahmad: Qais Ahmad has not had the best of T20 Blast seasons so far, proving to be a touch expensive at times. However, he is one of the best spinners in the world with his variations serving him well. With Qais capable of scoring quick runs down the order as well, he is another one to watch out for in this game.
