The 2019 Vitality Blast was the seventeenth edition of the T20 Blast currently known as the Vitality Blast, a professional Twenty20 cricket league that was played in England and Wales which was run by the ECB, has been branded as the Vitality Blast due to a new sponsorship deal.[1] The league consisted of the 18 first-class county teams divided into two divisions of nine teams each with fixtures played, slightly later than usual, between July and September.[2] Finals Day took place at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham on 21 September 2019. Worcestershire Rapids were the defending champions.[3]
On 7 August 2019, in the match between the Leicestershire Foxes and the Birmingham Bears, Leicestershire's Colin Ackermann took seven wickets for eighteen runs.[4] These were the best bowling figures in a Twenty20 cricket match.[5]
