Match Preview: Notts Outlaws v Hampshire Hawks, Vitality Blast Quarter-Final

Hampshire Hawks – who finished fourth in the South Group during the Vitality Blast group stages – face Notts Outlaws in a Vitality Blast Quarter-Final on Wednesday.

The Hawks qualified for the knockout stages of the domestic T20 competition following a remarkable run of five straight victories to round off the group stage and their reward is a trip to Trent Bridge to face North Group table-toppers, Notts Outlaws.

The T20 Quarter-Final is Hampshire’s third against Notts Outlaws – who, quite remarkably, are hosting their tenth home quarter-final in the last 12 seasons - with both previous fixtures taking place at Trent Bridge (2012 & 2014) with Hampshire winning on both occasions.

The winner of the fixture – starting at 7pm and broadcast live on Sky Sports Cricket – will qualify for Vitality Blast Finals Day at Edgbaston on Saturday 18^th September.
