2009 Twenty20 Cup final

The 2009 Twenty20 Cup Final was a cricket match between Somerset County Cricket Club and Sussex County Cricket Club played on 15 August 2009 at Edgbaston in Birmingham. It was the seventh final of the Twenty20 Cup, which was the first domestic Twenty20 competition between first-class sides.

Somerset were making their second appearance in a Twenty 20 final, having won the competition in 2005. In contrast, the furthest that Sussex had previously progressed was the semi-finals in 2007. Somerset won the toss and elected to bowl first, and despite claiming the early wicket of Murray Goodwin, Sussex scored quickly, mainly due to the 59 runs scored from 26 deliveries by Dwayne Smith. Sussex completed their batting innings with 172 runs. In Somerset's response, Marcus Trescothick scored quickly at the start of the innings, but after his dismissal in the fourth over, Somerset regularly lost wickets, and seven of their eleven batsmen did not reach double figures. The country were eventually bowled out for 109 runs, meaning that Sussex won the match by 63 runs.
