Somerset CCC vs Gloucestershire Team Preview

Somerset CCC

Last year, Somerset CCC made it all the way to Finals Day, and they already appear to be one of the top teams this year. They will be sure they can win this match.

Kasey Aldridge, a bowling all-rounder, made his Blast debut for Somerset CCC, replacing Lewis Gregory, who was rested. However, Gregory is expected to return to the squad ahead of this local derby. There have been no new injuries to the team.

Gloucestershire

The quality of Gloucestershire’s team is insufficient, and they were without Marchant de Lange earlier in the tournament. In the previous meeting, Somerset destroyed them.

Gloucestershire has had a very dismal Blast 2023 season, with only the odd decent result throughout the season. Their primary issue has been a need for runs across their batting lineup, but they only have a few other choices. There were no new injuries recorded following the last game.

Somerset won the toss and elected to bat first in their last home game. In this encounter, we forecast that both sides will try to field first.

The prediction calls for a mild evening in the low 20s throughout the duration of this game. There will be both sunny and overcast days.

The ground in Taunton is fast, but it also provides something for bowlers. A par score will be between 185 and 190.
