Kent Ends Somerset's Winning Streak

Daniel Bell-Drummond's spectacular 48-ball century was the highlight as Kent Spitfires halted Somerset's unbeaten run in the T20 Blast 2025. Bell-Drummond's innings, which included 12 fours and four sixes, was instrumental in setting a formidable total. His opening partnership of 158 with Tawanda Muyeye (70) laid a solid foundation for Kent.

Gloucestershire's Struggles Continue

Reigning champions Gloucestershire faced their fifth consecutive defeat, this time against Glamorgan. Despite a promising start, Gloucestershire collapsed, losing six wickets for just 25 runs. Asa Tribe's unbeaten 63 from 28 balls was a standout performance for Glamorgan.

Matthew Potts Shines for Durham

Matthew Potts delivered a career-best performance, taking 5-17 to lead Durham to a commanding six-wicket victory over Yorkshire. Potts' spell dismantled Yorkshire's middle order, securing Durham's third straight win and moving them into second place in the North Group.

Leicestershire Returns to Winning Ways

Leicestershire ended their two-game losing streak with a comfortable win over Worcestershire. Ben Mike, returning from injury, took 3-14, helping to restrict Worcestershire to 150-8. Leicestershire's chase was anchored by Rishi Patel and Sol Budinger, who set the tone with a quick 48-run opening stand.

Upcoming Fixtures

Attention now turns to the next round of matches, with Hampshire Hawks set to face Surrey at the Utilita Bowl. Fans can expect more thrilling action as the T20 Blast 2025 continues to deliver high-octane cricket.
