Hampshire Royals confirmed their place at the top of FLt20 south group table as they thrashed Kent at Canterbury.

Michael Carberry fired an unbeaten 85 as the Royals notched up their biggest score of the competition this season as they finished on 185-6.

Kent never looked likely to make significant inroads into that total and sure enough they never got anywhere near the target as they were restricted to 123-9 and were beaten by 62 runs.

Hampshire had already confirmed a home quarter-final tie but the win against Kent ensures they will top the group.

They have one more group game left against Middlesex at the Ageas Bowl on Wednesday night.
