It's a Blast
Bondholder Derbyshire County Cricket Club will begin its 2020 Vitality Blast campaign against Leicestershire on Thursday 27 August (6.30pm start).
Ryan Duckett, Chief Executive of Derbyshire County Cricket Club said: “There were times when we all thought there would be no cricket this summer, so to have a complete Vitality Blast tournament, as well as five first-class matches, is fantastic for Members and supporters. There has been record support for Derbyshire in recent years and although these matches are being played behind closed doors, supporters will be able to follow the action on the club website with live streams, clips and stats.”
Dominic Cork’s Falcons will be aiming to make its back-to-back Finals Day appearances, after ending a 17-year wait to reach the final four last summer.
The ten North Group matches come thick and fast during a four-week period in August and September, with the first encounter with a major rival coming on Sunday 30 August, when Derbyshire travel to Emerald Headingley to face Yorkshire.
The Falcons will remain in Leeds to face Lancashire Lightning live on Sky Sports on Bank Holiday Monday (31 August) at the North Group’s regional televised venue.
There are two East Midlands Derbies to look forward to this season, with the first clash against Notts Outlaws coming on Sunday 13 September, before the two sides compete under the lights on Thursday 17 September.
With The Incora County Ground being used as a bio-secure venue for international training camps and an entire England Women’s One-Day International Series, all of Derbyshire’s Vitality Blast fixtures will be played on the road, behind closed doors.
You can follow the action live with ball-by-ball coverage, plus clips and statistics in our fixture-specific Match Centres, including a full live stream where applicable.
