The T20 Blast is returning for its 23rd season. This competition was the original T20 league and inspired the creation of other domestic T20 leagues such as the IPL. This year the Blast has given risen to yet another T20 league – the Women's T20 Blast.
The men's T20 Vitality Blast will involve 133 matches, 52 of which will be double headers with the women's competition, where the men's and women's matches are played at the same venue and following one another.
The women's Vitality Blast competition is split into two. The eight top-tier counties play each other home and away in a league. The top three teams then progress to Finals Day at the Kia Oval where the second- and third-placed teams play one another in semi final, with the winner meeting the league's top team in the final.
The other ten women's counties play in League 2, which is divided into North and South groups, each team playing the others in its group home and away, and the top two teams in each group go through to League 2 Finals Day at Northampton, which involves two semi finals and the final.
The men's competition is again being played out over its established format. Each side plays 14 group games, and the top four in each group go into the quarter finals. The quarter-final winners go through to Finals Day at Edgbaston, on September 13, involving two semi finals and then the final.
Gloucestershire are the defending men's champions, having defeated Somerset, who have been to Finals Day in each of the last five years, in last year's final.
