Vitality Blast

Vitality Blast is the T20 cricket celebration, comprising of 18 counties contesting in an action-packed tournament. Teams start off competing in North and South Groups during the competition's group stages, before combining the top four from each group to play the quarter-finals. The tournament rounds off with Finals Day in September, where two semi-finals and the final are played over one thrilling day of cricket.

In 2023, Hampshire Hawks hosted seven home Group Stage matchdays and a home Quarter-Final which saw jam-packed crowds return to Utilita Bowl, before James Vince's side once again make it to Finals Day, narrowly missing-out in progressing to the competition's showpiece final.

2024 Fixtures

The Hawks will host seven home fixtures at Utilita Bowl in this year's edition of the Vitality Blast. They open the tournament in 2024 against Surrey, as part of the Vitality Blast Off Double-Header with Women's double champions, Southern Vipers, on Thursday 30th May.

Following this they will play six more home matches through June and into the start of July before the group stage comes to a conclusion. Vitality Blast action then returns in September for the quarter-final stage and Finals Day, should the Hawks qualify from the South Group.
