SOM Team News
It looks like being another successful T20 Blast campaign for Somerset and, after losing only two games of their opening six matches, they ended Friday evening in second place in the South Group. They have an excellent record against Glamorgan with no defeat across their last five fixtures.
SOM Team Batting
It was a rain reduced game at Taunton on Friday evening but Somerset still came out on top of Kent Spitfires thanks to their strong batting line up. With Tom Banton, Will Smeed and Tom Kohler-Cadmore in the top three, there is always the chance that one of their big hitters will make a significant contribution in this game.
SOM Team Bowling
One of Somerset’s major advantages with their bowling attack is the variety that they have and this was shown on Friday with Riley Meredith and Jake Ball both bowling two overs and Ben Green sending one down. Glamorgan’s batters will find it hard against this bowling unit.
SOM Team Form
Somerset come into this match looking for their fourth successive win of the competition.
Somerset Predicted Playing 11

Glamorgan Team News & Playing 11
GLA Team News
After losing to Essex Eagles last weekend, it was a frustrating evening for Glamorgan on Thursday as they hosted Hampshire Hawks but saw the match abandoned without a ball bowled. However, that should mean that their bowlers’ legs are particularly rested for this important clash with Somerset.
GLA Team Batting
Plenty of pundits have picked out Glamorgan as having the strongest batting line-up in the South Group and their top six all have the ability to win a match on their own. However, against Somerset’s strong bowling attack, they will have to be wary as there will be some unplayable deliveries.
GLA Team Bowling
It was Glamorgan’s spinners who flourished in their last match with Mason Crane and Marnus Labuschagne taking seven wickets between them. However, on this pitch in Taunton, we expect the likes of Jamie Mcllroy and Dan Douthwaite to cause the most problems.
GLA Team Form
Glamorgan have lost only one of their last four T20 fixtures this season.
Glamorgan Predicted Playing 11
Eddie Byrom, Kiran Carlson (c), Sam Northeast, Marnus Labuschagne, Colin Ingram, Chris Cooke (wk), Dan Douthwaite, Timm van der Gugten, Andy Gorvin, Mason Crane, Jamie Mcllroy
🏆 Somerset vs Glamorgan Prediction
Only three points separate these two teams ahead of this game and so we are not expecting a one-sided contest in Taunton. That said, Somerset are a very strong T20 side and particularly so at home. We are predicting a Somerset victory.
