Delray Rawlins teammates Phil Salt and George Garton gunned down a target of 178 with 16 balls to spare to get Sussex off to a winning start in the Vitality Blast with a five-wicket win at Gloucestershire.
Salt, in his first appearance of the season for Sussex, made 77 not out from 49 balls and Garton, who had only made 103 runs in 23 Twenty20s before this, made 46 from only 25 balls as Sussex waltzed home scoring 178/5, Rawlins was out for 9 off six deliveries, hitting 1 six.
