Vitality Blast: Quarter-Final Permutations

Hampshire kept their hopes of qualifying for the Vitality Blast quarter-final stages alive with victory against Middlesex last night.

Ahead of this evening's contest, the following permutations will apply.

Hampshire will qualify for the quarter-final stage in fourth position if:

• Hampshire beat Glamorgan and Essex Eagles defeat Kent Spitfires.
• Hampshire beat Glamorgan, Kent Spitfires defeat Essex Eagles and Middlesex defeat Somerset but Dawid Malan's side finish with an inferior run-rate.

Hampshire will qualify for the quarter-final stage in third position if:

• Hampshire beat Glamorgan, Essex Eagles defeat Kent Spitfires and Middlesex defeat Somerset but Dawid Malan's side finish with an inferior run-rate.

Hampshire will not qualify for the quarter-final stage if:

• Hampshire lose to Glamorgan.
• Hampshire beat Glamorgan, Kent Spitfires defeat Essex Eagles and Somerset defeat Middlesex.
