Hampshire to face Somerset in FL t20 semi-finals

Hampshire and Somerset will meet on finals day for the third successive year after being paired together in the FL t20 semi-final draw.

Somerset won last year's semi following a one-over eliminator after Hampshire beat them in the 2010 final by virtue of losing fewer wickets.

Sussex will take on Yorkshire in the other last-four clash.

FL t20 finals day schedule

  • 11:00 BST - Sussex v Yorkshire
  • 14:30 BST - Hampshire v Somerset
  • 18:45 BST - Final

Finals day is this year being held at Glamorgan's Swalec Stadium on Saturday, 25 August.

Yorkshire booked their place at finals day for the first time on Wednesday with a 29-run win over Worcestershire at Headingley.

They will meet a Sussex side who beat Gloucestershire in their quarter-final the previous night courtesy of New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris hitting the joint-third fastest century in T20 history.

Somerset, who have lost the last three finals in the domestic Twenty20 competition, reached finals day again with a 27-run win over Essex on Tuesday.

Hampshire were the last side to secure a place in Cardiff with a dramatic four-wicket victory over Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge.
