Somerset produced one of the great T20 Finals Day comebacks as they recovered from 7-3 to beat Surrey in comfort by six wickets and reach their third final in four years. Defending a total of 153-9, Surrey quickly took the wickets of Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Tom Abell, and Will Smeed in just 13 balls. However, James Rew and Sean Dickson's half-centuries led to a highest-ever Finals Day partnership of 144 for the fourth wicket to secure victory with eight balls to spare.
The Cider Boys have previously only won two of their six finals—in 2005 against Lancashire at The Oval and again at Edgbaston 14 months ago when they also beat Surrey en route to overcoming Essex. If Somerset can win their upcoming match, they will become the first county to defend the T20 title in the competition's history.
