Middlesex vs Somerset Match Analysis

Somerset and Middlesex will play in the South Group of the 2024 Vitality Blast at Lord’s. The game begins on Tuesday, June 11, 2024, at 18:30 local time.

Even though it took them four matches, Middlesex defeated Kent Spitfires by four wickets with four balls left on Sunday in Canterbury to secure their first victory of the 2024 T20 Blast. To move up from the bottom of the standings, they are now aiming for consecutive wins.

With a resounding victory over Hampshire Hawks on Sunday, the defending Vitality Blast champions snapped a two-match losing streak and climbed to fifth place in the South Group. Lewis Gregory’s team can get back on track to defend the title with a victory at Lord’s.

Middlesex vs Somerset Team Preview & Squads

Middlesex

Middlesex needed to get off to a great start if they were to defeat the Spitfires with 174 needed. Despite losing opener Martin Andersson for a five-ball duck, captain and T20 specialist Stephen Eskinazi smashed a 29-ball 40 and shared a 67-run partnership with Ryan Higgins. There is skill in the batting lineup, starting with Leus du Plooy at number four.

The way all six of Middlesex’s bowlers took at least one wicket against Kent will have delighted the team management, especially the bowling coaches. Luke Hollman and Tom Helm will enter this game with a lot of confidence after capturing two wickets and giving up less than 25 runs in the last game.

Middlesex Squads

Middlesex

Stephen Eskinazi (c), Jack Davies (wk), Ryan Higgins, Max Holden, Joshua de Caires, Luke Hollman, Tom Helm, Leus du Plooy, Henry Brookes, Martin Andersson, Blake Cullen

Somerset

You can count on Somerset’s hitters to never back down, and we fully anticipate that they will approach this game with an attacking mentality. In their encounter against Hampshire Hawks, four of their top six had strike rates exceeding 200. They will all want to hit boundaries from the first ball.

Somerset’s bowlers knew they would be attacked from the start when they were defending a target of 242 against Hampshire, and that is exactly what happened. But after ending the opening stand in the eighth over, wickets continued to fall, and Somerset’s diverse assault will be relishing the opportunity to bowl at Lord’s on Tuesday.

Somerset Squads

Somerset

Lewis Gregory (c), Tom Banton (wk), Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Sean Dickson, Craig Overton, Ben Green, Roelof van der Merwe, Tom Abell, Josh Davey, Will Smeed, Riley Meredith

Middlesex vs Somerset outfield report

Lord’s London

Here, the team that chooses to bat first will have the advantage and get to use the bat first. There will be clouds in the sky, and rain is predicted. It will be sixteen degrees Celsius. The Lord’s slope will provide some movement for speed bowlers as usual, so rookie batsmen may find it difficult. With a par score of more than 175, this will be a good hitting track.
