The T20 Blast, currently named the Vitality Blast for sponsorship reasons is a professional Twenty20 cricket competition for English and Welsh first-class counties. The competition was established by the England and Wales Cricket Board in 2003 as the first professional Twenty20 league in the world.

Vitality Blast Finals Day will be an all-Southern affair, as Kent, Sussex, Hampshire and Somerset battle it out for the coveted title at Edgbaston, with coverage getting underway from 10.30am on Sky Sports Cricket.

Hampshire v Somerset, 11am GMT

Our Pick: Somerset win @8/13

Hampshire will lock horns with Somerset in the first semi-final of the Vitality T20 Blast 2021,

Hampshire finished fourth in the South Group table with 15 points while Somerset finished second with 18. A close win in the quarter-final against Nottinghamshire helped Hampshire take one step closer to the Vitality T20 Blast title.

Somerset, on the other hand, registered a comfortable seven-wicket win over Lancashire. Roelof van der Merwe and Marchant de Lange grabbed four and three wickets respectively as Lancashire put up a challenging total of 184 on the board.

 

Kent vs Sussex, 2.30pm GMT

Our Pick: Sussex win @8/11

Kent will square off against Sussex in the second semi-final of the Vitality T20 Blast 2021.

Kent’s campaign in this edition of the Vitality T20 Blast has been stellar as they finished as table toppers in the South Group with 19 points.

Sussex have had a successful run in this year’s Vitality T20 Blast as well. They finished third in the South Group with 17 points. Sussex defeated Yorkshire in the first quarter-final by chasing down a target of 178 runs with five wickets to spare in the final over.

The winner of this contest will face either Hampshire or Somerset in the final of the Vitality T20 Blast 2021.

Our Final Prediction:

Somerset To Beat Sussex in the Final @4/1

Our 2 Semi-Final picks we think will go head to head in a (possible if this is the out-come) final, but we think Somerset would edge this as an in-counter.
