It was a thoroughly professional run chase from the Kent Spitfires as they made light work of the target of 138 and chased it down with 7 wickets in hand and with 3 overs to spare. Daniel Bell-Drummond played the anchor role to perfection and reached a half-century in the final over of the match. Sam Billings and Jordan Cox provided the much-needed impetus which ensured the required rate was never a problem.
Tawanda Muyeye departed early in the form of a run-out but the likes of Joe Denly and Bell-Drummond helped their side recover from the early wicket. They eased through the powerplay but Denly was dismissed against the run of play which provided some hope to Gloucs. Sam Billings came out in the middle and suddenly turned the game with a few lusty blows.
He took the attack to Tom Price in his very first over as the required rate suddenly went down rapidly. He looked in brilliant touch for his score of 28 off just 18 deliveries which included a couple of fours and a six. An uncharacteristic mix up cost him his wicket but by then the target was well within their grasp. Cox then turned the heat in the final ew overs and blazed away to a 20 ball 31 to see their side through.
