How Statz Rating works:
- Each player receives a contextual match impact score based on their all-round contribution — batting, bowling, and situational factors.
- Ratings are scaled against the season benchmark so they are directly comparable across fixtures and to the season leaderboard.
- A typical top performer scores around 100. Exceptional performances can exceed 100.
Middlesex beat Kent by 14 runs – T20 Blast Match Report
Middlesex won by 14 runs in the 102nd match of 115 in the T20 Blast 2026 at St Lawrence Ground, Canterbury. Matthew Boyle delivered a match-defining all-round performance – 21 off 17 with the bat and 2/16 from 3 overs with the ball – as Middlesex held their nerve to deny Kent in a tight contest. The win keeps Middlesex mathematically alive in the group stage, while Kent remain rooted to 15th place.
Middlesex Innings – 172 for 6
Kent won the toss and elected to bowl first at the St Lawrence Ground. Middlesex got off to a shaky start when Josh de Caires fell lbw for just 5 at 9/1 in the opening over, but Matthew Boyle steadied the ship with 21 off 17 (4 fours) before being clean bowled at 54/2 in the 6th over.
Max Holden contributed 24 off 24 (3 fours) in a measured middle-order innings, while Leus du Plooy struck 10 off just 5 balls (2 fours) before falling at 67/4 in the 7th over. Ben Geddes then took centre stage with a quickfire 32 off 21 (3 sixes) at a strike rate of 152, propelling Middlesex towards a competitive total before being lbw at 120/5 in the 15th over.
Joe Cracknell fell for 11 at 102/6, but Luke Hollman (34 off 22, 3 fours, 1 six) and Eathan Bosch (23 off 15, 2 fours, 1 six) finished unbeaten to lift Middlesex to 172/6. Hasan Mahmud was Kent’s standout bowler with 2/33 from 4 overs, while Jake Lintott took 2/31 from 4.
Kent Innings – 157 for 7
Kent’s chase began positively when Tawanda Muyeye struck 16 off 12 (3 fours) before being run out at 24/1 in the 3rd over. Daniel Bell-Drummond then took charge with a commanding 47 off 34 (5 fours, 1 six) at a strike rate of 138, anchoring Kent’s response until falling caught at 100/2 in the 12th over.
Zak Crawley managed just 10 off 12 before being caught at 57/3 in the 7th over, but Sam Billings struck 26 off 18 (1 four, 2 sixes) to keep the chase alive. However, Billings was stumped at 101/4 in the 12th over, and Jaydn Denly followed suit at 125/5 in the 15th. Harry Finch (16 off 15) was clean bowled at 131/6, and Ekansh Singh fell caught at 136/7, leaving Kent needing 37 off the final 15 balls – too steep a climb.
Zafar Gohar was the standout bowler for Middlesex with 3/38 from 4 overs, while Matthew Boyle chipped in with 2/16 from 3 overs. Luke Hollman took 1/30 from 4 overs to complete a strong Middlesex bowling display.
