Tournament Overview
Series Overview
The 2020 Vitality T20 Blast was played entirely behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic, with the competition running from late August to early October in a bio-secure bubble. Nottinghamshire Outlaws claimed the title by defeating Surrey in the final at Edgbaston by six wickets. It was Notts' second Blast title, continuing their reputation as one of England's most dangerous T20 sides. The tournament's adapted format — with all Finals Day matches at Edgbaston in an empty stadium — produced quality cricket despite the surreal atmosphere. The Outlaws' six-wicket win was comfortable, their batting lineup proving too strong for Surrey's bowling attack.
