Somerset amassed the highest ever total in English domestic men’s T20 cricket of 265/5 beating their previous best of 250/3 v Gloucestershire in 2006 and exceeded the previous T20 record score in England, 261 for two by the Birmingham Bears against Nottinghamshire in June 2022, with Ben Green striking two sixes in the final over.
The winning margin of 191runs is also the highest in T20 cricket in this country.
Rilee Rossouw became Somerset’s most prolific scorer in a T20 season with 600 at an average of 50, with a strike rate of 197.36.
Derbyshire’s spin bowler McKiernan was hit for 82 in his four overs, again, the most expensive figures in men’s T20 cricket history, including 36 off one over (5x6s, 1×4 and 1 no ball (2)).
Also the Derbyshire innings (68 balls) was the third lowest ’all out’ innings in Blast history
- 63 balls / all out by Essex v Somerset at Chelmsford, 2011
- 67 balls / all out by Warwickshire v Gloucestershire at Edgbaston, 2020
- 68 balls / all out by Derbyshire v Somerset at Taunton, 2022
Somerset will play Hampshire at Finals Day for the 5th time in Somerset’s last 6 Finals Day appearances, which is by far the most common match-up on Finals Day – no other pair of counties have even met three times
