Worcestershire Rapids (142-7) beat Kent Spitfires (59 all out) by 83 runs.
Is it possible to lose a T20 by 83 runs when you've held the opposition to 142? Well it turns out it is and Kent somehow managed to do it on Friday night, eclipsing their previous low watermark in this competition, the 72 posted against Hampshire in 2011.
You could describe the performance as a slow-motion car crash, except there was nothing slow about it. The batting simply disintegrated: from the moment Harry Finch was out at the start of the third over, a wicket fell on average every seven deliveries.
