The Blaze know how to win. They've got themselves into a habit of winning despite not yet hitting their full straps. Contributions throughout the order with the bat, bowlers consistent with the ball have been the trademark this season and they have started the T20 Blast on fire.

Here are three positives and three negatives from the Outlaws’ opening games of the 2026 Vitality Blast campaign.

Positive #1 – The Blaze keep winning

The Blaze have made it three wins from three to start their Vitality Blast campaign, beating last year’s finalists Lancashire and Warwickshire Bears away from home. The win against Warwickshire was all the more impressive as captain Kirstie Gordon, Kathryn Bryce and Sarah Bryce were absent on international duty with Scotland.
