The venue for The Blaze's Vitality T20 County Cup opener against Durham (Sunday 21 June) has been confirmed as the Nottinghamshire Sports Ground.

Kirstie Gordon's side enter the knockout competition at the third-round stage, and will face fellow Tier One opposition in a 20-over clash at Lady Bay (10.30am start).

The winners will progress to the quarter-finals, which are set to be staged on Sunday 23 August, with Finals Day at Emirates Old Trafford on Saturday 29 August.

The Blaze reached the last four in last summer's inaugural staging of the competition, falling short against eventual winners Lancashire in the semi-final at Taunton.

Ticketing details will be confirmed in due course.
