It was fairly easy coming in with nothing to lose - Douthwaite

4 Jul 2022 | Cricket

All-rounder Dan Douthwaite produced a superb performance with both bat and ball to take Glamorgan to a 35-run victory over Kent in Canterbury as the Welsh county finished their Vitality Blast campaign on a high.

The 25-year-old smashed 51 not out off 23 balls, adding 95 with Billy Root for the sixth wicket to drag Glamorgan up to 190-5, before taking 2/27 with the ball.

"It's bitter-sweet for us and a bit frustrating to do it this late in the competition when we're out of it, but one of the things we can take into next year is the carefree attitude we played with," said Douthwaite.

"It was fairly easy coming in with nothing to lose and we could have a crack, batting with Billy and a left-right combination, someone always had the shorter boundary to look for and it came off.

"It's nice to get a few wickets again, especially Darren Stevens, I think my personal competition has been a bit up and down as well as the team's but there's stuff to look forward to next year."
