KET vs YOR Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips and Playing 11 Updates for Today's English County Championship Match - April 15th, 2021
Round 2 of the English County Championship 2021 will see Yorkshire take on Kent at the St Lawrence Ground in Canterbury on Thursday.
Yorkshire have had a lukewarm start to their English County Championship campaign with a draw in the previous round. However, they were without a few key personnel, such as David Willey, who is in line to play his first game of the season tomorrow. Apart from the all-rounder, the likes of Adam Lyth and Joe Root are also available for Yorkshire, who might fancy a win over Kent.
However, they face an equally competent Kent side that showed glimpses of what they are capable of in this format. Although Kent also drew their first English County Championship game of the season, the batting unit showed resilience, despite their big guns failing to fire. With captain Daniel Bell-Drummond and Zak Crawley leading the way, Kent will look to make good use of home conditions as they seek to launch a title run this season.
Both teams are equally matched on paper, with Heino Kuhn's addition to the Kent squad evening the playing field. With valuable points up for grabs, expect both teams to go all out for the big win in the crucial English County Championship fix.

Pitch Report
The track at the St Lawrence Ground should offer some assistance to both the batsmen and bowlers, making for an even contest. Although the initial days are bound to help the pacers, there should be some turn available for the spinners as the match progresses. The batsmen will need to bide their time in the middle, with off-the-surface movement likely to keep them on their toes. Both teams will look to bat first upon winning the toss.
