Gloucestershire won their first Vitality Blast title in glorious style as they beat holders Somerset, comprehensively outplaying their West Country rivals to claim their first trophy in nine years.
Openers Cameron Bancroft, up against his former county, and Miles Hammond both hit half-centuries at Edgbaston as they won by eight wickets with 31 balls to spare.
Somerset’s hopes of a trophy treble, which had been given such a big boost by Thursday’s sensational County Championship win over Surrey, increased when they beat Surrey again in a well-contested semi-final.
But that treble dream – and the chance to become the first side to retain the T20 trophy – ended when they proved no match for a Gloucestershire side who came from nowhere to squeeze through in the Southern Group, then followed it up with three straight Edgbaston wins.
