The first ever T20 Vitality Blast Father’s Day clash takes place at Lord’s this Sunday when current champions Kent Spitfires visit the home of cricket to take on Middlesex for what promises to be an action-packed afternoon.
Families across the capital are being encouraged to experience the action at one of the world’s most famous sporting venues by taking advantage of a special ‘Dad’s go free’ Father’s Day offer for the match, with a free adult ticket for every adult and under-16 ticket bought together.
With the T20 season coming up to the half-way point, Middlesex will be looking to avenge their defeat to the Spitfires earlier this month at Canterbury when former Middlesex and England star Joe Denly scored a dramatic 110 off just 58 balls.
Off the pitch, the Lord’s food village will be open with a wide range of outlets offering everything from fish and chips to Mexican street food. Families can also bring their own picnic and enjoy the designated picnic area at the ground’s Coronation gardens.
The T20 format sees each team face 20 overs with bowlers allowed a maximum of four overs each. In the Vitality T20 Blast, the 18 first class counties are split into two leagues – north and south. The top four teams from each league progress to the quarter-finals, with the four winning teams taking part in a semi-finals and finals day at Edgbaston on July 16.
The Vitality Blast Father’s Day match between Middlesex and Kent takes place at Lord’s on Sunday, June 21 and starts at 2.30pm.
The special ‘Dad’s go free’ ticket means one that one adult goes free when an adult and an under 16 ticket are bought together. Adult tickets start from £20 with under 16’s tickets priced at £10.
