Cricket tournament
The
2014 NatWest T20 Blast
was the twelfth edition of the
T20 Blast
formerly known as the
NatWest T20 Blast
, the English
Twenty20
cricket
competition. The competition ran from 16 May 2014 until Finals Day at
Edgbaston
on 23 August, which was won by
Birmingham Bears
. The competition replaced the
Friends Life t20
competition. With attendance figures over 700,000, it was the most attended season of T20 cricket in England since the format began in 2003.

Format
[
edit
]
The 18 teams were divided into two groups of nine. In the style of a
round-robin tournament
, each team played six other teams in their group both home and away. The other two teams were faced just once. The top four teams from each group qualified for the knockout stage: a three-round
single-elimination tournament
. The winner of each group had a home match in the quarter-finals against the fourth team from the other group. The runners-up from each group played at home against the third placed team from the other group. The semi-finals were a free draw from all the qualified teams.

Finals Day will be again be held at
