Tight bowling after an impressive batting display saw Kent beat Leicestershire on Friday and qualify for the Royal London One-Day Cup semi-final.
Half-centuries from Joey Evison, Ben Compton and captain Joe Denly, alongside a typically boisterous cameo from Darren Stevens on his return to his old club, saw the Spitfires to a score which looked around par on a good wicket.
In reply, Scott Steel made a solid half-century at the top of the Leicestershire order but, though Wiaan Mulder made a superb 81 off just 71 balls, once the South African was dismissed, the pressure was too much for the Foxes' tail.
Once regular opponents, it had been 12 years since the counties met in List A cricket. Denly made 39 in Kent's victory that day, and the Kent captain found himself shaking hands with Mulder at the toss, taking over leadership duties from Lewis Hill, ruled out after being struck on the hand while batting in the nets the previous day.
