KENT Spitfires handed the Hampshire Hawks their first defeat of the Vitality Blast season, pummelling them by eight wickets at Canterbury on Sunday.
-
The Hawks had the misfortune to run into a fully armed and operational Zak Crawley: the England man hit 75 off 43 balls, including three sixes and he enjoyed a stand of 110 with Daniel Bell-Drummond, who made 61 from 40.
Earlier Joe Weatherley hit an unbeaten 63 as Hampshire recovered from 63-4 to post 177-7, with Tom Rogers posting Kent's best figures with 3-33, but as soon as Kent took 22 from the 11th over they looked favourites and they coasted home with an over to spare.
Hampshire chose to bat but lost James Vince in the second over, caught by Wes Agar off Tom Rogers for six after a miscue.
