After beating Sussex earlier in the day, they went on to face Somerset in the final.
Kent Spitfires 167-7 in 20 overs (Zak Crawley 41, Jordan Cox 58*, Roland van der Merwe 4-0-19-3) beat Somerset 142-9 in 20 overs (Will Smeed 43, Joe Denly 4-0-31-3, Qais Ahmad 4-0-19-2) by 25 runs.
Kent Spitfires ended their 14-year wait for a piece of silverware as they beat Somerset by 25 runs to win the Vitality Blast 2021.
Homegrown 20-year-old Jordan Cox smashed 58 in 28 balls to fire the Spitfires over par with 167 for seven.
Cox’s outstanding fielding and spin twins Joe Denly and Qais Ahmed’s shared five for 50 stopped Somerset short and handed Kent their first Blast trophy since 2007.
Though I’m a not a big fan of this version, always good to see Kent win trophies.
