Somerset come into this match as one of the most dominant sides in the competition. Backed by an explosive batting core and led by the tactical calm of Tom Abell, they have turned Taunton into a fortress. With Will Smeed and Tom Kohler-Cadmore headlining the top order, Somerset regularly post intimidating totals and defend them with the support of experienced pacers like Craig Overton and all-rounder Ben Green.
Key strengths: Relentless powerplay hitting, fast-scoring depth, home-ground firepower
Key players:
Glamorgan, meanwhile, are fighting to stay in playoff contention, and will need to punch above their weight to topple Somerset away from home. They lean on experience in the form of Colin Ingram, while David Lloyd and Kiran Carlson anchor the top order. Their bowling relies on Timm van der Gugten to take early wickets and restrict momentum, but the challenge of controlling Somerset’s batting on a lightning-quick pitch is immense.
Key strengths: Experienced middle-order, dependable seam options, resilience in tight finishes
Key players:
This matchup pits Somerset’s explosive top-order dominance against Glamorgan’s strategic containment approach. On a flat Taunton pitch, early wickets are crucial, but if Smeed or Kohler-Cadmore settle in, Somerset could run away with it quickly. Glamorgan’s hopes rest on their bowlers finding swing early and Ingram anchoring a deep chase — though chasing at Taunton is never easy. Somerset to win by 25–35 runs if batting first, or by 6–7 wickets when chasing, with Smeed and Green likely to be game-changers in their respective phases.
Somerset are expected to dominate this match with their explosive batting and home-ground advantage. Glamorgan often struggle to contain top-tier teams, especially in away fixtures.
