Kent's Joe Denly said the team were happy to pick up their fifth win of the CB40 season against Middlesex at Canterbury.
Kent cannot qualify for the semi-finals, and are playing for pride. But there was plenty of that in evidence as they beat Middlesex by two wickets.
The visitors posted 263 and Kent reached their target with three balls to spare.
Denly and Daniel Bell-Drummond hit 51 for the first wicket before all-rounder Darren Stevens top-scored with 65, and Sam Northeast hit 57.
Denly told BBC Radio Kent: "It was a bit nervy, but obviously great to get home in the end."
He added: "We thought 263 was a pretty good score on that wicket and we thought somebody would have to bat through, but a few of the lads chipped in."
