Kent will aim to finish Tunbridge Wells festival week on a high when they take on reigning T20 title holders Sussex Sharks at the Nevill Ground on Wednesday evening.

The table-topping Sharks - who include former Spitfires all-rounder Yasir Arafat in their side - have won their opening two games in the competition, while Kent won at Essex Eagles before a disappointing defeat to Hamshire Royals.

Spitfires currently sit fourth in the South Division, with the top four all going through to the quarter-finals.

The two sides shared the spoils last season with Kent enjoying a five-wicket win at home but the Sharks recorded a controversial win under the Duckworth-Lewis system in the fading light at Hove.

With Amjad Khan out with a hamstring injury, batsman Sam Northeast comes into the 12-man squad.

Tickets are available on the gate priced at £25 for adults and £10 for juniors. Gates open at 3.30pm, with the action beginning at 5.30pm.
