The 2025 T20 Blast came to a thrilling conclusion at Edgbaston last weekend, with Somerset lifting the trophy for the third time in the competition's history. Here's Wisden's team of the tournament.
Toby Albert (HAM)
17 matches, 633 runs at 48.69, SR: 150.00, HS: 98*
Albert was the leading run-scorer in the competition, finishing with 85 in the final which set Somerset a record chase. He also starred in the quarter-final against Durham, hitting 68 off 37 balls as Hampshire scored 221-8. He formed one half of the most formidable opening partnership across the field with Chris Lynn.
Will Smeed (SOM)
17 matches, 620 runs at 41.33, SR: 144.85, HS: 94
Smeed was instrumental in Somerset getting over the line against Lancashire in the final. He scored 94 in the chase – his first half-century in a T20 knockout game – keeping on track with the required run-rate before he was dismissed in the penultimate over. That was Smeed's fifth 50 plus score in the competition, which marks a return to his hard-hitting best after a quiet couple of years.
Will Jacks (SUR)
10 matches, 504 runs at 50.40, SR: 164.70, HS: 100
Jacks played as an opener for Surrey, but slots in at No.3 in this team. Averaging over 50 across 10 matches, he scored a 58-ball century against Sussex – his first T20 hundred for Surrey. His explosive starts at the top of the innings were a key factor in ensuring Surrey finished at the top of the South group table.
James Vince (HAM)
16 matches, 527 runs at 37.64, SR: 152.31, HS: 98*
Hampshire stalwart Vince was the key in the side's formidable batting lineup. He dropped down to No.3 when Chris Lynn came in up top for the knockouts, and scored a half-century in the semi-final. He fell two runs short of a century in his highest-scoring knock of the competition, finishing unbeaten on 98 against Sussex after he hit a four off the final ball of the innings to win the game rather than a six.
Sean Dickson (SOM)
14 matches, 411 runs at 45.66, SR: 159.92, HS: 76
Dickson played a crucial innings in the final, coming in half-way through the chase and seeing out the end of the game. The most notable part of Dickson's campaign is the number of times – five – he finished unbeaten, embodying the philosophy which has made Somerset such a strong T20 outfit – always having a player ready to step up. His stand-out innings was undoubtedly the 71* off 26 balls he scored in the quarter-final against Bears.
Tom Moores WK (NOT)
14 matches, 459 runs at 45.90, SR: 157.19, HS: 75
Moore's had an explosive competition with the bat, compensating for an inconsistent Nottinghamshire top order. He hit 72 off 42 balls in his final innings of the season, taking Notts to an unlikely win after they collapsed to 127-4. That was a second consecutive half-century for Moores, having also hit 57 in Nottinghamshire's previous game, again coming in early after a collapse chasing.
Chris Green (LAN)
14 matches, 21 wickets at 18.61, SR: 15.14, ER: 7.37
180 runs at 25.71, SR: 145.16, HS: 36*
Green was the stand-out spinner in a season dominated by quicks. He had an effect on Lancashire's campaign both with bat and ball, hitting cameos in the lower-order as well as taking regular wickets. Having topped the North Group, Lancashire were without Green for their semi-final against Somerset, which they lost by 23 runs.
Ben Sanderson (NOR)
16 matches, 26 wickets at 17.61, SR: 13.11, ER: 8.05
Sanderson was Northants' leading wicket-taker in their run to finals day. He hit the headlines in the early part of the competition by taking the third-best figures in the history of the Blast, snaring 6-8 against Worcestershire. That spell also included a hat-trick, and was eighth on the list of all-time best figures in T20s.
Hasan Ali (BEARS)
12 matches, 25 wickets at 15.00, SR: 10.40, ER: 8.65
Ali was with Bears for the group stage, taking the new ball and taking wickets in the powerplay. He also took a six-for which included a hat-trick in the group stage, blitzing through Derbyshire's batting order in his second outing of the season.
Riley Meredith (SOM)
14 matches, 28 wickets at 16.32, SR: 11.35, ER: 8.62
Meredith was a key overseas signing for the champions, returning after a successful run with the club in 2024. As part of a battery of seamers at Taunton, Meredith led the attack in the group stage of the campaign, making crucial inroads with the ball in the powerplay.
Scott Currie (HAM)
17 matches, 27 wickets at 19.33, SR: 13.40, ER: 8.65
Currie was rewarded for his Blast performance with a maiden England call-up. Specialising in bowling at the death, Currie played in his fourth T20 Blast finals day this year, in his sixth season as a professional player. Bowling mostly at the death, only Meredith took more wickets than Currie in the competition, who now has one of the top 10 bowling averages in English domestic T20 competitions since 2020.
