Vitality Blast: Seven men's and women's T20 double-headers to kick-off 2024 domestic competitions

A four-day festival of cricket will help kick start next summer's domestic T20 women's and men's competitions.

The Vitality Blast Off returns from Thursday May 30 to Sunday June 2 as both the Charlotte Edwards Cup and Vitality Blast resume.

Reigning Charlotte Edwards Cup champions Southern Vipers will take on Western Storm before three-time Vitality Blast winners Hampshire Hawks come up against Surrey at The Ageas Bowl in the season opener on May 30.

On the same day at Emirates Old Trafford, Thunder, who reached their first Finals Day earlier this year, will take on Central Sparks before Lancashire Lightning face Durham.

Friday's action will see a replay of the 2023 Vitality Blast final with Somerset facing Essex while Western Storm play Sunrisers at Taunton.

Northern Diamonds vs South East Stars and Durham vs Birmingham Bears will get action under way at Riverside, Chester-le-Street while at Trent Bridge the Blaze play Sparks and Notts Outlaws face Northamptonshire Steelbacks, with both double-headers also on Friday May 31.

Edgbaston will host two Midlands games on Saturday June 1 as Birmingham Bears clash with Notts Outlaws while Derbyshire Falcons take on Leicestershire Foxes.

The action finishes on Sunday June 2 with games at The Kia Oval and Northampton. South East Stars play Southern Vipers before Surrey aim to avenge last season's semi-final defeat when they face Somerset in south London.
