On a home return to Sophia Gardens in their T20 campaign, Glamorgan had over eight overs to spare as they chased 119 in an explosive second innings after a dominant bowling display.

Andy Gorvin returned career best figures of 4-17 along with Ned Leonard taking nine wickets in his last two matches. Only Jack Leaning put up some resistance with 45 from 40 balls to recover Kent from 27-3 after six overs.

Kiran Carlson top-scored for Glamorgan with a quickfire 34 balls as a series of cameos secured a comfortable six-wicket victory.

Glamorgan gave the Spitfires first use of the green-topped surface and instantly reaped the rewards of doing so in economical fashion initially before Imad Wasim began a forthcoming cluster of wickets in the third over.

With Daniel Bell-Drummond dismissed early, Kent's top scorer in the Vitality Blast - Tawanda Muyeye - falling in the next over didn’t help the visitors’ start at 9-2, mistiming a drive to give Leonard a first ball wicket, caught at deep-third.
