Kent Spitfires completed the double over Glamorgan Dragons in the Friends Provident t20 on Friday night in Cardiff.

Spitfires claimed a rain-affected 14-run win under the Duckworth/Lewis method.

Opener Joe Denly (pictured) top scored for Kent, who were asked to bat first after losing the toss.

Denly hit three fours and a six in his 19-ball 30 as Kent overcame the early loss of James Hockley for one.

When Azhar Mahmood was out for 14 in the 11th over, Kent were struggling on 72-5.

But Darren Stevens (28), Alex Blake (25) and James Tredwell (25) all made vital contributions at a good rate lower down the order to help their side to a competitive total of 158-9 in 20 overs.

Tredwell, back from England duty, then took 1-21 in four overs in Glamorgan’s reply.

Fellow spinner Malinga Bandara was only given one costly over which went for 15.

Opener Mark Cosgrove took 44 balls to reach 54 before he was dismissed by Matt Coles.

Within a ball, the players were forced off the field by the rain and Glamorgan were left stranded on 95-3 from 14.4 overs - 14 runs short of where they needed to be.
