To get a win like that was fantastic - Ingram

2 Jun 2023 | Cricket

Glamorgan chased down 189 to beat Kent Spitfires by seven wickets in their first home game of their Vitality Blast campaign.

Peter Hatzoglou was the pick of the bowlers with 2/25 as the visitors made 189/6 in the first innings.

Eddie Byrom got the Welsh county off to a rapid start in the chase, scoring 43 from just 19 balls.

Fresh off the back of a record-breaking partnership in midweek, Colin Ingram (63*) and Chris Cooke (46*) made another 100+ partnership to steer Glamorgan home to victory under the Friday night lights at Sophia Gardens.

"I chatted with Chris before the game and I said 'we both hit the ball so well last game, just invest in a few balls to get yourself back in again', but at some point there we could both feel the juices again and it just flowed nicely," said Ingram.

"It was great to kick on again. Especially great this evening with it being our first home game, an awesome crowd in, sun shining and to get a win like that was fantastic.

"It was a really good wicket so we always knew we could get the target. But, I haven't chased many totals at this ground over eight years at that sort of level so 190 was quite daunting but I thought the way Eddie Byrom played up front just shrunk their total really quickly and made the rest of our jobs a little bit easier."
