After their five-wicket defeat against Surrey at The Oval on Monday evening, Glamorgan welcome the Kent Spitfires to Sophia Gardens on Wednesday, June 16th for their next home game in the Vitality Blast, with the match starting at 5pm. (writes Andrew Hignell)
The last two T20 games between Glamorgan and the Kent Spitfires have fallen foul of the weather but, as the list below shows, the Welsh county have been victorious in the last three games which have avoided the rain, with the Spitfires not having beaten Glamorgan in T20 cricket since July 2011 at Canterbury.
June 13th, 2014 at Cardiff - Match Tied
July 17th, 2015 at Tunbridge Wells - Glamorgan won by 1 run
June 17th, 2016 at Cardiff - Glamorgan won by 55 runs
July 30th, 2017 at Canterbury - Glamorgan won by 25 runs
July 29th, 2018 at Cardiff - Match Abandoned
Aug 14th, 2019at Canterbury- Match Abandoned
David Lloyd was the star of the show in a rain-affected contest at Cardiff in 2016 as the opener blasted an imperious 97 from just 49 balls before Dale Steyn, the South Africa quick bowler claimed 4/16 to put his adopted county on course for a well-deserved victory by 55 runs.
The match at Sophia Gardens in 2014 also ended in a dramatic tie as Glamorgan overcame a late batting onslaught by Darren Stevens, with Michael Hogan holding his nerve to deliver a superb final over before a run-out from the final ball saw Jacques Rudolph remove the bails with the visiting batsman well out of his ground as the pulsating contest ended all square.
