Shahid Afridi made a stunning home debut by taking five wickets as Hampshire beat Gloucestershire by 16 runs in a rain-affected FL t20 game.
Muttiah Muralitharan (2-15) and Kane Williamson (2-18) helped the visitors restrict holders Hampshire to 139-7 at The Rose Bowl.
Gloucestershire then reached 80-5 after 12 overs when rain interrupted play.
They were set a revised total of 124 from 17 overs but Afridi (5-20) helped bowl them out for 107.
Williamson (50) matched his bowling performance with the bat but the rest of Gloucestershire's batsmen struggled.
Pakistan all-rounder Afridi's introduction sealed their fate as they lost their last five wickets for just 12 runs.
