Hampshire beat Lancashire in the quarter-finals to reach finals day. They play in the early match so will have more of a break before the final.
Hampshire qualified 4th and was in fine form at the end of the tournament after a slow start. They have won their last 5 in a row and made the quarter-finals with a win in their final match. They will be brimming with confidence going into this match.
Hampshire is also in good form in the County Championship where they have just gone up to second in the table.
Top bowler Chris Wood said they felt out of it in the group stages and at one point, he didn’t still believe they would make it though. In the final group stage they needed 185 off 14 overs and still managed to dig deep and get the runs.
