T20 Blast Finals Day: Full line-up unveiled

Excitement is building ahead of Finals Day at Edgbaston, with four teams set to fight for glory at this historic cricket venue.

The T20 Blast Finals Day is an occasion that cricket fans up and down the country look forward to each and every year, and the 2025 edition has been no different. The enthralling action to come in the semi-finals and indeed the showpiece final at Edgbaston this year will be taking place on Saturday, 13th September 2025.

With there being so much action for fans to enjoy, it is set to be an incredible and memorable day for all those in attendance. We also now know who will be competing for a place in the final – they are the Northamptonshire Steelbacks, the Hampshire Hawks, Lancashire Lightning, and, finally, Somerset.

The confirmed semi-final fixtures taking place at Edgbaston are as follows:

·         Lancashire Lightning vs. Somerset (11:00)

·         Northamptonshire Steelbacks vs. Hampshire Hawks (14:30)

The winners of these matches will, of course, secure their place in the final, which will get underway that evening at 18:45, where one team will ultimately taste the glory of becoming the latest winners of the T20 Blast.

All four of these teams had to negotiate difficult matches in order to secure their place on this prestigious day.

We begin with the Northamptonshire Steelbacks, with the ‘Steelbacks’ in their name deriving from the nickname given to the Northamptonshire regiment, who were known for their courage and determination.

The Steelbacks got the better of Surrey in their Quarter Final clash at the Oval, narrowly beating them by 7 runs in the end. It was Ravi Bopara who stood out in particular for Northamptonshire, with him getting an incredible 105 runs from 46 balls in the end. It was a really eye-catching display that saw him and his side qualify for Finals Day.

Moving on to Somerset, they too were of course victorious in their Quarter Final, and it was also by quite a narrow margin, this time against Warwickshire. It was a 4 wicket win for them in the end, and it was Sean Dickson who stood out most for Somerset, with him not out for no less than 71 runs in the end. He was closely followed by Tom Abell on 51 runs to his name.

The Lancashire Lightning came up against the Kent Spitfires in their quarter final, winning by just 3 wickets following a hard-fought contest at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester. A number of players put in brilliant performances, with Liam Livingstone in particular putting in a sensational display that saw him finish with 85 runs and not out.

Finally, the Hampshire Hawks managed to book their place in the highly coveted T20 Blast Finals Day at Edgbaston with a 26 run triumph over Durham at the Riverside. Toby Albert, Hilton Cartwright, and Chris Lynn were all incredible for Hampshire, scoring 68, 61, and 51 runs respectively, leading their team’s charge to victory.

All four sides participating in the 2025 T20 Blast Finals Day have won the final on at least one occasion in the past, and they will all be looking to add more silverware to their respective trophy cabinets at Edgbaston this Saturday.

It is the Hampshire Hawks who have won it the most out of these sides with 3 (2010, 2012, 2022), followed by Somerset (2005 & 2023) and Northamptonshire (2013, 2016) with 2 each, followed by the Lancashire Lightning, who have 1 Vitality Blast Final win to their name, which came in 2015.
