Kent Spitfires suffered a last-ball defeat in their latest T20 Blast group game against Surrey - being beaten by five wickets at Canterbury on Sunday.
Sean Abbott again was one of the Surrey heroes. Jamie Smith scored the run they needed off the final ball and ended not out on 49 while Abbott was unbeaten on 21 off 14 balls in front of a healthy crowd in the sunshine.
Spitfires skipper Sam Billings said: “We probably just leaked a couple of boundaries at the end there when the rate was getting up to about 12-an-over. “They’re such small margins.
It was a great game of cricket which, unfortunately, we have come out on the wrong side of. “Both innings were pretty similar, which kind of said what the pitch was like. “Jamie Smith played a really good knock and they found the boundary when they needed to at the end.” Billings had won the toss and elected to bat first.
