Vitality Blast Cricket Double Header: Nottinghamshire Outlaws v Birmingham Bears (Men) and The Blaze v Birmingham Bears (Women)

Trent Bridge will host four Vitality Blast double-headers in 2025 as Notts Outlaws and The Blaze compete for their respective T20 trophies.

All of those double-headers will be played across Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays - including each side's T20 season-opener on Friday 30 May, when both sides will play against Midlands neighbours Birmingham Bears. Expect sixes to be smashed, stumps to be shattered and the Trent Bridge faithful to be in full voice across

The sides will then share the Trent Bridge stage once in June and twice in July, while there are three standalone Notts Outlaws fixtures at Trent Bridge during the campaign. 

The Outlaws, meanwhile, face Birmingham Bears (30 May), Worcestershire Rapids (7 June), Yorkshire (11 June) and Derbyshire (13 June) at Trent Bridge before Nottinghamshire hosts a Women’s IT20 in late June. 

The home T20 season resumes with the visit of Leicestershire Foxes (6 July) and Durham (11 July), before rounding off the season at home against Lancashire Lightning (18 July). 

In all, Notts and The Blaze will play seven double-headers fixtures together home and away in the group stages.

Vitality Blast Women’s Finals Day will take place on Saturday 27 July, with the top four sides from the group stages securing progression through to the showpiece event at the Kia Oval.

The Vitality Blast Men’s Finals Day at Edgbaston is on Saturday 13 September with the quarter-finals a week prior.
