Vitality Blast Off returns next year with Somerset double header

It is set to be bigger and better with a four-day festival of men’s and women’s domestic Twenty20 cricket.

An expanded Vitality Blast Off will feature seven men’s and women’s T20 double headers, with Somerset beginning the defence of our T20 crown at the Cooper Associates County Ground on Friday May 31 with a rematch against last year’s beaten finalists Essex.

While Western Storm will face off against the Sunrisers on the same day in Taunton.

Somerset CCC has a number of hospitality packages available for this double header which you can check out by visiting: https://hospitality.somersetcountycc.co.uk

Edgbaston will then host its marquee men’s double header – the only matches scheduled for that day – with Birmingham Bears taking on rivals Notts Outlaws, while near-neighbours Derbyshire Falcons and Leicestershire Foxes clash.

Vitality Blast Off will conclude with two blockbuster matches on Sunday 2 June, as both reigning T20 champions travel to The Kia Oval where South East Stars will host Southern Vipers and Surrey will bid to reverse their semi-final defeat to Somerset.

ECB Managing Director of County Cricket, Neil Snowball, said: “It is hugely exciting to be able to confirm that Vitality Blast Off will be expanded to include eight venues next summer as we aim to attract more people to watch men’s and women’s domestic cricket.

“We have scheduled some of the highest-profile men’s and women’s games during the four-day window, which will also launch the new Vitality Blast season in style."
