The competition ran from 16 May 2014 until Finals Day at [Edgbaston](/source/Edgbaston) on 23 August, which was won by [Birmingham Bears](/source/Warwickshire_County_Cricket_Club). The competition replaced the [Friends Life t20](/source/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.[1] ## Format The 18 teams were divided into two groups of nine. In the style of a [round-robin tournament](/source/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](/source/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.[2] Finals Day will be again be held at [Edgbaston](/source/Edgbaston_Cricket_Ground).[3] ## North Division ### Table Pos Team v t e Pld W L T NR Ded Pts NRR 1 Lancashire Lightning 14 10 2 0 2 0 22 0.846 2 Nottinghamshire Outlaws 14 9 3 0 2 0 20 0.642 3 Worcestershire Rapids 14 8 4 0 2 0 18 0.480 4 Birmingham Bears 14 7 5 0 2 0 16 0.235 5 Yorkshire Vikings 14 6 5 0 3 0 15 0.588 6 Durham Jets 14 5 7 0 2 0 12 0.106 7 Northamptonshire Steelbacks 14 4 7 0 3 0 11 −0.899 8 Leicestershire Foxes 14 4 9 0 1 0 9 −0.552 9 Derbyshire Falcons 14 1 12 0 1 0 3 −1.406 Source: [4] ### Results Home \ Away Birmingham Bears Derbyshire Falcons Durham Jets Lancashire Lightning Leicestershire Foxes Northamptonshire Steelbacks Nottinghamshire Outlaws Worcestershire Rapids Yorkshire Vikings Birmingham Bears Birmingham Bears 6 wickets Abandoned No result Birmingham Bears 52 runs Birmingham Bears 8 wickets Nottinghamshire Outlaws 6 runs Birmingham Bears 5 wickets Abandoned No result Derbyshire Falcons Derbyshire Falcons 3 wickets Lancashire Lightning 20 runs Leicestershire Foxes 5 wickets Abandoned No result Nottinghamshire Outlaws 5 wickets Worcestershire Rapids 8 runs Yorkshire Vikings 59 runs Durham Jets Durham Jets 8 wickets Lancashire Lightning 1 run Leicestershire Foxes 4 wickets Durham Jets 5 wickets Abandoned No result Durham Jets 29 runs Yorkshire Vikings 49 runs Lancashire Lightning Lancashire Lightning 15 runs Lancashire Lightning 35 runs Lancashire Lightning 27 runs Lancashire Lightning 9 runs Lancashire Lightning 53 runs Lancashire Lightning 12 runs Yorkshire Vikings 5 wickets Leicestershire Foxes Birmingham Bears 25 runs Leicestershire Foxes 27 runs Leicestershire Foxes 3 wickets Lancashire Lightning 18 runs Abandoned No result Nottinghamshire Outlaws 24 runs Worcestershire Rapids 6 wickets Northamptonshire Steelbacks Northamptonshire Steelbacks 15 runs Northamptonshire Steelbacks 4 wickets Abandoned No result Northamptonshire Steelbacks 2 wickets Nottinghamshire Outlaws 22 runs Worcestershire Rapids 31 runs Yorkshire Vikings 16 runs Nottinghamshire Outlaws Birmingham Bears 18 runs Nottinghamshire Outlaws 27 runs Durham Jets 3 runs Nottinghamshire Outlaws 33 runs Nottinghamshire Outlaws 31 runs Worcestershire Rapids 24 runs Nottinghamshire Outlaws 22 runs Worcestershire Rapids Worcestershire Rapids 8 wickets Worcestershire Rapids 28 runs Worcestershire Rapids 5 wickets Lancashire Lightning 50 runs Worcestershire Rapids 5 wickets Abandoned No result Abandoned No result Yorkshire Vikings Birmingham Bears 5 wickets Yorkshire Vikings 8 wickets Durham Jets 28 runs Abandoned No result Yorkshire Vikings 14 runs Northamptonshire Steelbacks 3 wickets Nottinghamshire Outlaws 6 wickets Home team win Away team win Match tied Match abandoned ### Fixtures #### May 16 May Durham Jets (H) 173/4 (20 overs) v Worcestershire Rapids 144 (19 overs) Durham Jets won by 29 runs Scorecard Riverside Ground, Chester-le-Street Umpires: Michael Gough and Steve Garratt Player of the match: Paul Collingwood (Durham Jets) Paul Collingwood 62 (38) Jack Shantry 2/25 (4 overs) Richard Oliver 43 (31) Paul Collingwood 3/29 (4 overs) Worcestershire Rapids won the toss and elected to field. 16 May Yorkshire Vikings (H) 162/7 (20 overs) v Northamptonshire Steelbacks 165/7 (19.5 overs) Northamptonshire Steelbacks won by 3 wickets Scorecard Headingley, Leeds Umpires: David Millns and Neil Mallender Player of the match: Ian Butler (Northamptonshire Steelbacks) Liam Plunkett 36 (22) Ian Butler 4/25 (4 overs) David Willey 43 (28) Liam Plunkett 2/20 (3 overs) Yorkshire Vikings won the toss and elected to bat. 16 May Leicestershire Foxes (H) 197/4 (20 overs) v Derbyshire Falcons 170/7 (20 overs) Leicestershire Foxes won by 27 runs Scorecard Grace Road, Leicester Umpires: Paul Baldwin and Rob Bailey Player of the match: Marcus North (Derbyshire Falcons) Scott Styris 63* (31) Chesney Hughes 1/28 (4 overs) Marcus North 90 (47) Nathan Buck 3/26 (4 overs) Derbyshire Falcons won the toss and elected to field. 16 May Nottinghamshire Outlaws (H) 182/5 (20 overs) v Lancashire Lightning 149 (18.3 overs) Nottinghamshire Outlaws won by 33 runs Scorecard Trent Bridge, Nottingham Umpires: Jeff Evans and Peter Willey Player of the match: Samit Patel (Nottinghamshire Outlaws) Samit Patel 56 (41) Jordan Clark 1/18 (1 over) Jordan Clark 44 (20) Steven Mullaney 3/46 (4 overs) Lancashire Lightning won the toss and elected to field.
