Who will win Vitality Blast 2023

Vitality T20 Blast is back for another thrilling season which is set to kick-off on 20th May, 2023 at Birmingham. Hampshire Hawks are the reigning champions, winning their 3rd trophy in the 2022 season.

The T20 Blast will once again feature 18 teams divided into two groups. We are backing Surrey to lift the Vitality T20 Blast trophy in the 2023 season. They will enter this season as the favourites by the bookmakers.

All-rounder Chris Jordan was recruited in Surrey in the last season and he was appointed as the new captain of the side. Under his captaincy, the team finished the group stage as the leading points scorer with 21 points in 14 matches.

Jordan was also the leading wicket taker of the team with 17 wickets in 14 matches at an economy of 8.00. Overseas player Sunil Narine picked 14 wickets while pacer Reece Topley took 15 wickets. So, we can see a strong and tight bowling unit on this side which can be dangerous for any batter.

England all-rounder Sam Curran will be one of the key players for the Surrey team. He played 8 matches last season in which he scored 236 runs and picked 11 wickets.

Coming to the batting line-up, Surrey has some of the top hitters like Jason Roy, Laurie Evans and Will Jacks, who was the leading run scorer in the last season with 449 runs in 15 innings at a strike rate of 142.08.

Lancs and Bears were the table toppers in the last season as well and they have a strong squad this season as well. Notts and Yorks are expected to join them at the top 4.

Coming to the South Group, we predict the top 4 spaces to be filled by the champions Hampshire, Surrey, Somerset and Sussex towards the end of the group stage. Surrey was the leading points scorer of all the 18 teams in the 2022 season and Hampshire lifted the trophy under new skipper Chris Jordan. Somerset will qualify this season as well and Sussex will join these three sides.
