2:38 AM IST & 10:08 PM Local Time: Nottinghamshire's winning run continues! Nottinghamshire make it four victories on the trot as they defeat Kent by 4 wickets and with 8 balls to spare.
Earlier in the day, Nottinghamshire won the toss and chose to field, with Mohammad Amir striking immediately to dismiss Harry Finch off just the second ball of the match. Zak Crawley and Daniel Bell-Drummond responded positively, adding valuable runs during the Powerplay before Crawley fell for 27 off 21 deliveries on the final ball of the sixth over, with Kent reaching 58/2. Bell-Drummond and Sam Billings then added 35 runs for the third wicket before Bell-Drummond departed for 37 off 33 balls.
Billings continued to anchor the innings superbly, first sharing a 44-run stand with Joe Denly and then keeping the scoreboard ticking despite wickets falling around him. The Kent skipper raced to a half-century off just 23 balls and finished as the top scorer with a brilliant 64 off 38 deliveries, while Grant Stewart chipped in with a useful contribution late in the innings. Kent eventually posted a competitive 184/7 from their 20 overs, with Mohammad Ali and Mohammad Amir claiming two wickets each for Nottinghamshire.
In reply, Nottinghamshire got off to a solid start as Joe Clarke was finding boundaries inside the powerplay. Clarke was dismissed for 24 in the 5th over. Haynes followed soon after for 1 as Nottinghamshire were 42/2 at the end of the powerplay. George Munsey got going after the powerplay as he stitched a couple of crucial partnerships during the middle phase of the innings with Freddie McCann of 42 off 23 balls and with Tom Moores of 62 off 33 balls as Nottinghamshire were on the driver's seat. Kent fought back as they chipped away with 3 quick wickets.
As long as George Munsey (82* off 47) was there at the crease, Nottinghamshire believed. The southpaw accelerated after completing his fifty. He added a match winning partnership with Liam Patterson-White (22* off 10) as the duo added 41 runs off 20 balls to take their side home. Nottinghamshire win by 4 wickets and with 8 balls to spare.

George Munsey (Player of the Match): "Yeah, it was good fun out there. We had plenty of good partnerships. It was pretty special to play in front of a packed crowd here tonight.
(On chasing 185) No, I thought that it was a decent score. We had to be positive especially in the powerplay. I thought their bowlers bowled pretty well with the new ball. They used the slope really well. We managed to see off the powerplay and then targeted certain bowlers.
(Favourite shot tonight?) Umm, the reverse sweeps. They made things very tricky for us so I decided to target Lintott. I just tried to use the smaller boundary to my advantage."
