Middlesex booked their place in the Stanford Super Series and possibly the cash-laden Champions League after winning a tense Twenty20 Cup final at the Rose Bowl.
England one-day international regular Owais Shah was the hero, cracking a best-of-the-day 75 from just 35 balls as Middlesex set Kent a target of 188 under the lights.
But, despite a fine start from Rob Key and Joe Denly, the bowling side restricted the chase to 184-5 with spinners Shaun Udal and Murali Karthik ultimately putting the skids under their home counties rivals.
South African Justin Kemp (49) gave Kent a chance to win off the last over bowled by Tyron Henderson, hitting two fours including one with two overthrows following an outrageous throw from long-on from Dawid Malan.
