Darren Stevens’ impressive half-century was enough to earn Kent only a T20 Blast tie with Glamorgan in Cardiff.
Mark Wallace (33) and Jim Allenby (54) sharsd a stand of 76, while Chris Cooke made 34 as Glamorgan posted 177-7.
Stevens’ knock of 71, his highest T20 Blast score this season, looked to have steered Kent to victory.
But Michael Hogan (2-30) removed Adam Ball and Mitch Claydon before Doug Bollinger was run out off the final ball, Kent ending just short on 177-9.
