Kent Spitfires win rain-affected game against Glamorgan Dragons
Comments |
Kent Spitfires completed the
double over Glamorgan Dragons in the Friends Provident t20 on
Friday night in Cardiff.
Spitfires claimed a rain-affected
14-run win under the Duckworth/Lewis method.
Opener Joe Denly (pictured) top
scored for Kent, who were asked to bat first after losing the
toss.
Denly hit three fours and a six in
his 19-ball 30 as Kent overcame the early loss of James Hockley for
one.
When Azhar Mahmood was out for 14
in the 11th over, Kent were struggling on 72-5.
But Darren Stevens (28), Alex Blake
(25) and James Tredwell (25) all made vital contributions at a good
rate lower down the order to help their side to a competitive total
of 158-9 in 20 overs.
Tredwell, back from England duty,
then took 1-21 in four overs in Glamorgan’s reply.
Fellow spinner Malinga Bandara was
only given one costly over which went for 15.
Opener Mark Cosgrove took 44 balls
to reach 54 before he was dismissed by Matt Coles.
Within a ball, the players were
forced off the field by the rain and Glamorgan were left stranded
on 95-3 from 14.4 overs - 14 runs short of where they needed to
be.
