T20 Blast 2025 Semi-Finals & Final - Who Will Win Today?

The T20 Blast 2025 playoffs are here, with 8 teams battling for the trophy. In this guide, we predict which 4 sides will make it to the semi-finals and reveal our pick for the champion.

From team form to key player impact, here’s everything you need before placing your bets.

2025 T20 Blast Semi-Finalist Predictions: Top 4 Teams

Here are the teams Vegas11 predicts are most likely to reach the T20 Blast semi-finals:

• Surrey (South Group)
• Somerset (South Group)
• Hampshire (South Group)
• Lancashire Lightning (North Group)。

Quarter Final 1：Surrey vs Northamptonshire Prediction

Surrey finished 1st out of 18 teams in the group stage, while Northamptonshire ranked 6th. Based on the standings alone, Surrey’s qualification for the semi-finals seems almost inevitable.

Especially with the match being held at Surrey’s home ground, the Kia Oval, they hold a strong edge - both in player form and familiarity with the pitch.

While Ben Sanderson has been a bright spot in Northamptonshire’s bowling attack, the team struggles with batting consistency and away-match performance. Given the current form and conditions, Surrey is highly likely to dominate this quarter-final.

Quarter Final 2：Durham vs Hampshire Prediction

Hampshire finished 7th out of 18 teams, while Durham secured a strong 3rd place in the standings. With greater squad depth and the advantage of playing at home, Durham is expected to overpower Hampshire and secure a spot in the semi-finals.

The Riverside Ground’s pace-friendly surface favors Durham’s high-scoring batting lineup. Hampshire’s bowling attack, led by John Turner (10+ wickets), may struggle to contain Alex Lees, who has been explosive in home conditions.

Quarter Final 3：Lancashire vs Kent Prediction

Lancashire finished 3rd out of 18 teams, while Kent ranked 8th. With standout performances from Keaton Jennings (323 runs) and Chris Green (as a reliable all-rounder), plus the home advantage, Lancashire is expected to cruise into the semi-finals.

Kent’s bowling attack has lacked consistency this season. To contain Lancashire’s batting power, they would need an exceptional, above-average performance, which seems unlikely under current form.

Quarter Final 4：Somerset vs Warwickshire Prediction

Somerset ranked 2nd out of 18 teams, while Warwickshire came in at 5th. With Tom Banton (323 runs) and Kasey Aldridge (5 wickets) delivering top performances, and playing at the high-scoring Taunton ground (average first innings score 175+), Somerset is expected to defeat Warwickshire and advance to the semi-finals.

Warwickshire has struggled with consistent batting form, and their away record at Taunton remains below 50%, raising further doubts about their chances in this knockout match.

2025 T20 Blast Champion Prediction

Vegas11 predicts Somerset (South Group) as the most likely team to win the 2025 T20 Blast title.

With a strong 11–3 record, Somerset finished 2nd in the group stage, showing consistent form throughout the season. They also reached the final in 2024 and were T20 Blast champions in 2023 - proving their strength in recent years.

Backed by squad depth, Somerset boasts explosive batting from Tom Banton and Will Smeed, along with fiery pace from Riley Meredith. With both experience and form on their side, Somerset is our top pick to win the 2025 T20 Blast trophy.

Predicted Teams to Qualify for the T20 Blast 2025 Playoffs

The T20 Blast features a total of 18 teams. Here are 5 teams we predict to qualify for the playoffs - based on squad depth, recent form, and home-ground advantages:

• Lancashire Lightning - North Group
  With Jos Buttler’s explosive batting and Saqib Mahmood’s pace attack, plus the support of Emirates Old Trafford as their home turf, Lancashire is expected to maintain strong form and secure a playoff spot.
• Yorkshire Vikings - North
  Led by Jonny Bairstow, Yorkshire brings fierce batting power. Their high-scoring performance in 2024 (236-6) shows their potential. With the Headingley crowd behind them, they are solid contenders for qualification.
• Gloucestershire - South Group
  As the 2024 T20 Blast champions, Gloucestershire have proven their strength in pressure moments. The bowling duo of David Payne and Matt Taylor, along with Cameron Bancroft’s consistent scoring, puts them in a strong position to defend their title in 2025.
• Somerset - South Group
  Somerset, the 2023 champions, finished as runners-up in 2024, showing remarkable consistency. With rising stars like Thomas Rew complementing experienced players, and the high-scoring conditions at Taunton, they remain among the top playoff contenders in the South Group.
• Surrey - South
  Surrey boasts a powerful squad with Dan Lawrence and Sam Curran, both top-tier all-rounders. Curran even smashed his first T20 century in 2024, showing the team’s aggressive intent. With the Kia Oval advantage and roster depth, Surrey is a playoff favorite.
