They were bowled out for 159, handing Somerset the trophy and extending their unbeaten T20 head-to-head record against Lancashire to two matches. T Kohler-Cadmore took the Player of the Match award for his contribution to Somerset's total.
Lancashire's chase looked threatening early. They scored 73 runs in the powerplay for the loss of 2 wickets, well above Edgbaston's ground average of 41 powerplay runs. The middle overs slowed them sharply, though: just 46 runs came from that phase for 3 wickets. The death overs were where the match was decided.

Betting & analytical angles
Angles the data surfaced
- Edgbaston's chase-success rate of 48% across 198 matches suggests first-innings scores carry more weight here than at many other venues; toss-related markets may reflect that bias.
- Lancashire's powerplay scoring rate was substantially above the ground average, yet they still fell short; top-innings run markets can diverge sharply from outright result lines in such scenarios.
- With 5 wickets falling in Lancashire's death overs, bowling performance markets in T20 Blast finals at this venue could prove more informative than headline batting lines.
- Somerset's recent form of four wins from five coming into this match suggests match-winner and player-performance markets for their top order may have offered value over the outright line.
