The T20 Blast reaches its conclusion with Finals Day at Edgbaston, live on Sky Sports 2, on Saturday and it's a clean sweep of North Group sides - Durham, Northants, Nottinghamshire and Yorkshire - competing for the season's first domestic silverware.
Notts take on Northants in the first semi-final with Durham versus Yorkshire to follow, before the winners face-off in the evening's final.
It promises to be a thrilling finale but how have the sides reached this stage and what can we expect from them on the big occasion? We take a look…
Top run scorer: Mark Stoneman (328)
Leading wicket takers: Scott Borthwick & Paul Coughlin (17)
Previous best: Semi-finals (2008)
The story so far: The Jets narrowly avoided an exit at the group stage having lost as many games as they won (six) in the North Group. Defeat to last year's winners Lancashire in their penultimate game ramped up the pressure but they held their nerve to beat Derbyshire and sneak into the quarter-finals. It was there that they took on a much-fancied Gloucestershire side. However, some top hitting from Stoneman and Michael Richardson, followed by a superb spell of fast bowling from Mark Wood, ensured it was Durham who progressed.
Top run scorer: Ben Duckett (389)
Leading wicket taker: Richard Gleeson (14)
Previous best: Winners (2013)
The story so far: Northants started this year's competition in fantastic form, winning six of their first seven games to all but seal their qualification for the last eight. However, they won just one of their last five group games - losing to each of their fellow semi-finalists, twice against Yorkshire - before a timely return to form saw them ease past Middlesex in the quarter-finals.
Top run scorer: Riki Wessels (396)
Leading wicket takers: Harry Gurney & Samit Patel (16)
Previous best: Runners-up (2006)
The story so far: It was an inauspicious start for Notts as they slipped to defeat in their first two games but, after benefiting from six penalty runs to beat Lancashire in their third game, they have not looked back. The Outlaws topped the North Group by four points and have now won nine games on the trot in the tournament including a Patel-inspired quarter-final victory over Essex.
Top run scorer: Alex Lees (272)
Leading wicket taker: Tim Bresnan (20)
Previous best: Runners-up (2012)
The story so far: Four games in and it looked like being another season of disappointment for Jason Gillespie's side in the Blast. However, their campaign turned on the narrowest of wins over Derbyshire, by one run, at Headingley. They then won three of their next four, with a five-run victory over Lancashire the largest winning margin - Derbyshire again falling to a one-run defeat. Another three wins saw them into the quarter-finals where Willey led them to a crushing 90-run triumph at Glamorgan.
Nasser Hussain: I'm going to get pelted by Northants and Durham fans, but I'm going to go for Yorkshire and Notts - who have won nine on the bounce - to meet in the final. That could then go either way.
David Lloyd: Yorkshire were losing matches, and I thought they surely cannot keep losing, so I bet £20 on them at 9/1, so I'm absolutely thrilled they're in Finals Day.
Watch live coverage of the T20 Blast Finals Day from 10.30am on Saturday, on Sky Sports 2.
