Vitality T20 Blast 2021

Tournament Overview

Series Overview

Kent Spitfires lifted the T20 Blast trophy for the first time in 2021, defeating Somerset in the final at Edgbaston. The 2021 edition returned to a full crowds setting after the COVID-restricted 2020 edition, and Edgbaston hosted a packed Finals Day. Kent's squad was built around aggressive batting and a varied bowling attack — they navigated the knockout rounds with a maturity that belied their underdog status. Somerset, for the second time in three years, reached Finals Day only to fall short of the title. Kent's first Blast crown represented a high point for South East cricket.
