T20 Blast 2025 Launches Across England Featuring 18 Counties

The T20 Blast 2025, England’s premier domestic T20 cricket competition, is set to begin on May 29 and run until September 13, featuring 18 county teams split into North and South groups. Each team will play 14 group-stage matches, with the competition pausing mid-season for The Hundred before resuming with knockout rounds in early September, culminating in the final at Edgbaston. Early matches include Lancashire versus Worcestershire at Old Trafford and Middlesex facing Sussex at Lord's, with pitch conditions favoring seamers early on and competitive scores expected around 160-180. Lancashire has been a consistent contender reaching knockouts in the last seven editions, while Worcestershire looks to replicate their 2018 title success. The tournament showcases a mix of international stars and promising talent, including South African batsmen Lhuan-dre Pretorius and Brevis, whose recent IPL performances have raised expectations. Fans can look forward to a high-intensity summer of cricket with strong regional rivalries and several players poised to make significant impacts.
