Match Details

Team Previews

Somerset Preview

Somerset, led by Lewis Gregory, have been in sensational form. They’ve won their last three matches convincingly, including a 7-wicket win over Sussex. Their home record is outstanding—they’ve won 9 of their last 10 games at Taunton.

Their top order, featuring Will Smeed and Tom Lammonby, has provided aggressive starts. The middle order is solid, with Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Tom Abell, and Thomas Rew anchoring the innings. Lewis Gregory and Ben Green offer explosive finishing.

Bowling has been a highlight. Craig Overton and Matt Henry are deadly with the new ball. Riley Meredith adds pace, while Lewis Goldsworthy brings variety with his spin. Somerset’s all-round depth, discipline, and familiarity with the Taunton surface make them the team to beat.

Middlesex Preview

Middlesex finally broke their losing streak with a 6-wicket win over Essex. However, inconsistency has plagued them, and they now face an uphill challenge against in-form Somerset.

Stephen Eskinazi and Kane Williamson will look to provide a strong start. Ben Geddes, Leus du Plooy, and Jack Davies form a middle order capable of building partnerships. Ryan Higgins and Luke Hollman are powerful late-order hitters.

Their bowling attack lacks penetration up front. Joshua Little and Noah Cornwell have struggled, while Tom Helm’s 4-wicket haul in the last match provides some hope. Zafar Gohar, Hollman, and Higgins must restrict Somerset’s deep batting lineup.

Middlesex need their bowlers to step up if they are to challenge Somerset at Taunton.

Favourite Team in Today’s Match (Why?)

Somerset are the clear favorites in this clash. They have momentum with three consecutive wins and a dominant home record at Taunton. Their squad is balanced with in-form batters like Kohler-Cadmore and Smeed, and a pace-heavy attack featuring Overton, Henry, and Meredith. Their all-round options, led by Gregory and Green, provide match-winning flexibility. In contrast, Middlesex have struggled to find rhythm, particularly in their bowling department. The psychological advantage of winning the last four head-to-head matches further strengthens Somerset’s case. Given all these factors, Somerset holds a strong edge in today’s contest.
