Gloucestershire thrashed reigning champions Somerset to claim their maiden Vitality Blast title in the T20 final at Edgbaston.
Miles Hammond and Cameron Bancroft shared a scintillating 112-run partnership to lead Gloucestershire to an eight-wicket victory over reigning champions Somerset and claim their first Vitality Blast final victory. Chasing a below-par 125 for victory, Gloucestershire's openers Hammond and Bancroft made an aggressive start to their reply. Australia international Bancroft smashed an emphatic half-century off 39 deliveries to take his side to the brink, with five boundaries and two sixes.
Somerset struck late in the innings to remove Bancroft and James Bracey but with Gloucestershire needing only six more runs from 35 balls, Ollie Price struck a magnificent maximum to seal the deal.
