Somerset will be locking horns with Glamorgan in the South group of T20 Blast 2022 at the Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton on June 3. Both teams have come up with contrasting performances so far in the ongoing season. While one team has been dominating the proceedings so far, the other has blown hot and cold.

Somerset is comfortably placed at the third position in the South group standings with three wins from four matches and six points to their tally.  A win here would help Somerset in taking the top spot by dethroning Surrey. They faced a thumping 47-run loss to Sussex in the last game.

Glamorgan, on the other hand, is at the fourth position in the standings having registered just two wins and two losses from four games. They have four points to their tally at an NRR of 0.310. They won by six-wicket against Essex in their last game.

Pitch Report

The surface at Taunton will be really good for batting, with the ball coming nicely onto the bat and the batters can go on to play impactful knocks once they get going. The bowlers will have no choice but to ensure that they do not err in their lines and lengths. A run-fest is pretty much on the cards. Therefore, a captain winning the toss will bowl first.

Probable Playing XI:

Somerset

Tom Banton (wk), Will Smeed, Rilee Rossouw, Tom Abell (c), Tom Lammonby, Lewis Gregory, Lewis Goldsworthy, Ben Green, Roelof van der Merwe, Marchant de Lange, Josh Davey.

Glamorgan

David Lloyd (c), Sam Northeast, Marnus Labuschagne, Kiran Carlson, Chris Cooke (wk), Andrew Salter, Daniel Douthwaite, Michael Neser, James Weighell, Prem Sisodiya, Michael Hogan.

Probable Top Performers

Probable best batter of the match

Rilee Rossouw:

The focus will once again be on Rilee Rossouw who had single-handedly taken care of Somerset’s stiff run chase of 216 against Sussex in the last game. He waged a lone battle even when Somerset lost wickets at regular intervals and he ended up scoring blistering 74 runs off just 29 deliveries at an outstanding strike rate of 255.2 which eventually propelled his side to a respectable score of 169. The South African batter would now be expected to come up with a match-winning performance.

Probable best bowler of the match:

Josh Davey was the pick of the bowlers for Somerset in their last game against Sussex. Even though all the bowlers were expensive as Sussex posted a total over 200, Davey applied brakes to some extent with some good bowling as he finished with figures of 3/45 from his four overs. He would now be hoping to showcase an even better performance and more importantly, focus on maintaining a good economy rate.
