Hampshire soared to the top of the NatWest T20 Blast South Group table with asix-run victory over Glamorgan at the Swalec Stadium.After being put into bat Hampshire were indebted to impressive half centuriesfrom Michael Carberry and Jimmy Adams as they reached 170 for 6 in their 20overs.Despite an impressive sixth wicket stand of 56 from Darren Sammy, playing hisfinal game for Glamorgan, and Chris Cooke, Glamorgan were restricted to 164 for6 in reply.Glamorgan needed 14 from the final over but it was beyond Cooke and AndrewSalter.On a livelier than normal Cardiff wicket Carberry made the most of the openingsix over powerplay, plundering 42 of his side’s 53 for 1 total.Glamorgan’s cause was not helped that off spinner Salter was given thefinal over of the power play which accrued 17.Carberry did lose his captain James Vince, who was caught at mid on off MichaelHogan, but went on to complete his half century from 34 balls out of 69 for1.Hampshire had reached 96 for 1 at the halfway stage, but they lost Carberrywho holed out on the long on boundary.But there was no let up in the Hampshire scoring as Adams, who like Carberry,exploited the short boundary at the River Taff end, struck slow left armer DeanCosker for consecutive maximumsAdams got to his 50 off 26 balls but lost Australian Glenn Maxwell to a divingcatch by Stewart Walters at long-on. Adams went in the next over bowled by WillOwen with a smear across the line.A decline in the scoring rate saw Hampshire only manage 38 from the final fiveovers as they lost Sean Ervine (6), who skied a return catch to Hogan whileAdam Wheater (18) holed out off Sammy.Glamorgan stuttered at the start of their reply with Jacques Rudolph going inonly the fourth over missing a straight one as they made only 32 in thepowerplay.There were setbacks throughout the innings with Jim Allenby caught behind offDanny Briggs in the seventh.

With 78 needed from 7 overs Glamorgan lostWalters and Ben Wright in the same over as they sank to 96 for 5 in the14th.Sammy did his best to give the Welsh support something to remember him by as hestruck Kyle Abbott for consecutive sixes over long on to bring the victorytarget down to 19 off the final 12 balls.But Sammy and Glamorgan’s demise was confirmed when he was caught on the longoff boundary by Adams.
