1:44 AM IST | A sensational chase from Glamorgan as Colin Ingram stars once again with the bat in hand. They have sealed the deal with seven wickets and 18 legal balls to spare.
Arriving for a chase of 190 runs, Eddie Byrom gave a flying start to the side with Sam Northeast anchoring the innings for a short period. Soon, Grant Stewart removed Byrom after he played a swirling knock of 43 off 19 balls. The first wicket fell after Glamorgan touched the 50 runs mark. Two more wickets followed in quick time and then it was the pair of Colin Ingram and Chris Cooke who gelled a century-run stand to turn the ship in the winning direction.
The Spitfires introduced a plethora of bowling options inside the first half of the second innings and seemed clueless with their plans. In addition, the bowlers were more into dishing at negative lines and had a defensive approach. Ingram went on to amass 63 runs off 32 balls while Cooke succored him with 46 runs off 28 balls. The tag team helped them reach the target by smashing boundaries every now and then, thereby chasing the total with three overs to spare.
Earlier in the contest, Glamorgan won the toss and opted to bowl first. Openers- Daniel Bell-Drummond and Tawanda Muyeye laid the foundation for a formidable total by capitalizing on the hard new ball. Although the spinners were introduced early in the powerplay, they didn't have much impact then. While wickets fell after the field restrictions from one end, Muyeye (62 off 38) was holding the other and attacking the bowlers.

Capped English cricketers Joe Denly and Sam Billings both failed to rack up runs as the innings reached 103-4 at one point. It was the contribution from the lower middle-order that helped the Spitfires to put up a fighting a total. Jordan Cox (35 off 27), Jack Leaning (21 off 15), and George Linde (26 off 12) all accounted for the scoreboard to display 189-6 at the end of the over.
Prem Sisodiya, Peter Hatzoglou, and Dan Douthwaite each took two wickets for the team.
17.1 W Agar to C Cooke

16.6 M Hogan to C Cooke
1 Low full-toss at the fifth stump and Cooke mistimes the jab towards the fielder at mid-off. The pair hurries for a single and the fielder was casual deliberately.
16.5 M Hogan to C Cooke
0 Full and wide outside the off stump line. Cooke goes for the slice and ends up getting beaten on the outside edge.
16.4 M Hogan to C Cooke
0 Good length delivery at the middle stump and Cooke defends it from inside the line to watch the ball roll towards short cover.
16.3 M Hogan to C Cooke
4 FOURRR!! Straight down the ground this time and the bowler watches the ball maroon over his head. Full and straight on the money. Cooke tonks it down the ground sweetly as he ever could.
16.2 M Hogan to C Cooke
4 FOURRRR!! Full and wide outside the off stump line. Cooke slaughters underneath the bounce and helps the ball sail towards the boundary ropes. The sweeper cover fielder was more on the squarer side and seemed nowhere close to protect the ball.
16.1 M Hogan to C Ingram
1 Full and outside the off. Ingram drives it towards deep extra cover uppishly for a single.

15.6 G Stewart to C Cooke
4 FOURRR!! This has turned out to be a nightmare of an over for Stewart!! Back of a length outside the off and Cooke pulls this straightaway to fetch a boundary. Cooke was semi-squared up and it helped him nail the shot perfectly.
15.5 G Stewart to C Ingram
1 Full and straight at the stumps. Ingram pushes it down the line and gathers a single this time down long on. Free hit wasted!!
15.5 G Stewart to C Ingram
NB Short ball, goes over the southpaw as he ducks underneath the bounce. A no-ball has been called. Free hit on queue.
15.4 G Stewart to C Ingram
4 FOURRR!! Short and wide once again and this time Ingram flashes at it. An outside edge helps the ball fly over the keeper's left and flow towards the fences. Poor delivery but lucky is the batter here.
15.4 G Stewart to C Ingram
WD WIDE!! Nothing is going in favor of Kent bowlers now. Length and wide outside the off. Goes past the tramline and called a wide.
15.3 G Stewart to C Ingram
4 FOURRRR!! Short of a length outside the leg stump line from Stewart. Ingram waits and swivels it over the short fine leg region for a boundary. Poor bowling from the bowler and such deliveries will be thumped.
15.2 G Stewart to C Cooke
1 Back of a length delivery into the right hander and Cooke tucks it towards mid wicket for a single.
