Somerset CCC vs Surrey CCC at a Glance
Somerset CCC vs Surrey CCC Team Preview
Somerset CCC
With four victories out of four at home this season, Somerset will enter this game with a great record. Their bowlers have been effective on this surface, holding the opposition to consistently below-par totals.
Tom Banton and Will Smeed open the batting with an aggressive squad that is led by skipper Lewis Gregory. Tom Kohler-Cadmore bats third and is an explosive T20 player. We believe that the Somerset batting lineup’s Sean Dickinson and Lewis Gregory will be crucial players to keep an eye on in this game. Ben Green, who has been reliable for Somerset with the ball, will direct the assault alongside Josh Davey, van der Merwe, and van der Merwe.
Surrey CCC
When Surrey takes on the league leaders Somerset in Taunton, they will be looking for their fourth straight victory. In its last two innings, the Chris Jordan-led side has scored 200+ runs.
In recent games at numbers 2 and 3, Laurie Evans and Sam Curran have been among Surrey’s best run scorers, respectively. In the lower middle order, batters like Jamie Overton, Tom Curran, and Sean Abbott are also dependable power hitters. Will Jacks, a spinner, and Sunil Narine are both in strong form and have been reliable. With the ball against Somerset, these two will be crucial.

The Cooper Associates County Ground Taunton
Despite the fact that historically on this field teams batting first have an edge, this season teams bowling first have won the majority of games. So the team that wins the toss will take bowling first.
By the time the game starts, the sky will probably be foggy.
It is a well-balanced pitch that benefits both bowlers and batsmen. On this surface, the spinners will love bowling and benefit from the greatest amount of traction.
