Rapids rout Kent to bolster Blast qualification bid

Put in on a bowler-friendly pitch, the Rapids were lifted to 142 for seven by Adam Hose (47 from 41 balls) and Sikandar Raza, on his farewell appearance before leaving for international duty, who struck 43 from 31. Kent’s bowlers, led by Matt Milnes (4-0-20-3) and Keith Dudgeon (4-0-22-1), sustained pressure throughout but their batters then imploded to the county’s lowest ever Blast total. The Spitfires were all out for just 59 in 14.1 overs as Usama Mir delivered 4-0-14-2, Raza 3-0-8-2 and Ben Allison 2-0-9-2.
