The 2020 Vitality Blast was the eighteenth edition of the T20 Blast currently known as the Vitality Blast,[1] a professional Twenty20 cricket league being played in England and Wales.[2] run by the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB), which was branded as the Vitality Blast due to the tournament's sponsorship deal.[3][4] On 12 August 2020, following a delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ECB confirmed the fixtures for the tournament.[5]

In the North Group, the Notts Outlaws and Lancashire Lightning qualified for the quarter-finals.[6][7] In the Central Group, Gloucestershire became the first team to qualify.[8] The South Group saw Surrey and Kent Spitfires qualify.[9][10] Following the conclusion of the group stage, the Northants Steelbacks, the Leicestershire Foxes and the Sussex Sharks had also confirmed their spots in the quarter-finals.[11][12]

Surrey,[13] Lancashire Lightning[14] and Gloucestershire[15] all won their quarter-final matches to progress to Finals Day. The match between the Leicestershire Foxes and the Notts Outlaws finished in a tie.[16] The Notts Outlaws advanced to Finals Day after they had scored more runs in the powerplay.[17]

For the first time in the tournament's history, Finals Day was washed out, with all the matches rescheduled to be played on 4 October 2020, the designated reserve day.[18] If no play was possible on the reserve day, the ECB announced that the matches would have been played on 7 October 2020.[19] Play was delayed further on the reserve day due to rain, and as a result the two semi-finals were reduced to 11 overs per side, and the final was shortened to 16 overs per side.[20] Surrey beat Gloucestershire by six wickets in the first semi-final,[21] and the Notts Outlaws beat Lancashire Lightning by five wickets in the second semi-final.[22] In the final, the Notts Outlaws beat Surrey by six wickets to win the tournament and their second domestic T20 title.[23]

Background

edit

The tournament was scheduled to start on 28 May 2020, and finish on 5 September 2020.[24][25][26] However, on 24 April 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed that no professional cricket would be played in England before 1 July 2020.[27][28] In late May 2020, the ECB looked at the scheduling of domestic cricket for the summer, with the t20 Blast likely to go ahead, including the traditional Final's Day at Edgbaston.[29] The ECB also confirmed that no domestic cricket would be played before 1 August 2020.[30][31] On 29 June 2020, the ECB confirmed that the county cricket season would begin on 1 August 2020,[32] with the format agreed in early July.[33]

On 7 July 2020, the majority of counties voted to start the tournament on 27 August 2020,[34] with Finals Day taking place at Edgbaston on 3 October 2020.[35]

Teams

edit

The teams were placed into the following groups. The top two teams in each group progressed to the quarter-finals, where they were joined by the two best third-placed teams:[36]
