Somerset, Northamptonshire Steelbacks, Nottinghamshire Outlaws, and Hampshire Hawks have all secured spots in the T20 Blast semi-finals.

Somerset, a dominant force with two recent T20 titles, faced a precarious situation needing 80 runs from 27 balls against Yorkshire. Yorkshire had set a modest target of 162, the lowest at Headingley this season. Despite Yorkshire's Adam Lyth scoring 64, Somerset's bowlers shared wickets, with Jake Ball taking 3-30 and others contributing. Yorkshire then put Somerset under pressure, reducing them to 28-4. However, Craig Overton produced a remarkable comeback, scoring his first T20 Blast half-century with eight fours and five sixes, leading Somerset to a dramatic victory.

This win means Yorkshire's quest for a maiden T20 Blast title continues, while Somerset advances. The other semi-finalists, Northants, Notts, and Hants, also earned their places through strong performances in the tournament. The semi-finals promise exciting cricket as these four teams battle for the ultimate prize.
