Birmingham Bears will have home advantage when T20 Blast Finals Day takes place at Edgbaston on Saturday.
The Bears, who opted not to use Warwickshire as their name for this season's competition, have not reached the final since 2003.
On that occasion they lost to Surrey, who will again be their opponents in the first semi-final and with former England batsman Kevin Pietersen in their ranks.
Hampshire, winners in 2010 and 2012, take on Lancashire, who have yet to win the trophy, in the second semi-final before the final at 18:45 BST.
The Red Rose county provided the main talking point of this year's competition with the return of Andrew Flintoff after four years out of the game.
And the former England all-rounder, who only played twice before suffering a calf strain, has been named in the Lancashire squad.
Semi-final 1 - 11am start & semi-final 2 - 2.30pm start......Final 6.45pm.
