Gloucestershire win to reach T20 Blast Finals Day
Gloucestershire are heading to the Vitality Blast Finals Day at Edgbaston on September 14 after securing their spot with a stunning quarter-final victory against the Birmingham Bears.
Man of the match David Payne took four wickets for 23 runs as Glos defended a total of just 138, with Cameron Bancroft top-scoring with 43.
It means that Mark Alleyne’s side will be returning to Edgbaston in seven days time where they will face Sussex Sharks in the semi-final for a chance to play either Surrey or fierce rivals Somerset – who they have already beaten twice this season – in the final.
is needed now More than ever
Gloucestershire captain Jack Taylor said he was “buzzing” to make Finals Day for the first time since 2020.
He said: “What a performance. We obviously fell a bit short with the bat but that bowling and fielding effort was unbelievable…
“I’m just pleased for everyone at the club that we can bring a bit of success and hopefully we can keep the show going next week.
