Come join us and experience the Trifecta Factor at Crickets Vitality Blast

The Vitality Blast will be celebrating the 20th edition of the world’s longest running professional domestic Twenty20 competition. The opening night of the 2022 Vitality Blast is Wednesday 25 May
when there will be a rematch of last year’s final between champions Kent Spitfires and Somerset. Trifecta will be hosting games at Marylebone Cricket Club, which is the most active cricket club in
the world and the guardian of the laws of the game.

Who is involved?

All 18 first-class counties are participants, and like the Royal One-Day Cup, the geographical north-south divide sees to two groups of nine teams.  Each team will play those in their group twice – once at home and once away. Those in the top four places within each group will proceed to the quarter-finals, with the four remaining sides facing off on Finals Day at Edgbaston.

What’s the format?

The Vitality Blast follows the standard T20 format, with bowlers allotted a maximum of four overs each. In each innings the first six overs constitute a powerplay with no more than two
fielders allowed outside the 30-yard circle. For any no balls bowled, the batting team will be rewarded with two runs, as well as a free hit for any no-ball that isn’t called for being a short-pitched delivery that passes over head-height of the batsman.

Come join us in a private box to enjoy the excitement of the T20 at the iconic Lords Cricket ground.
