SOM vs GLA Team Previews
Somerset
The defending champions have played well in this season as well. With 4 wins in 6 games, Somerset is 2nd in the South Group table, trailing Sussex in NRR.
Somerset boasts of a strong batting line-up and will look to post a big total in this game. Leading the pack is Tom Abell, who has scored 168 runs at an average of 42.00, including 2 half-centuries. He has received good support from the likes of Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Sean Dickson, and Lewis Gregory.
The opening pair of Tom Banton and Will Smeed has done well too and will hope to give the team a strong start. Coming to the bowling, Ben Green, Riley Meredith, and Jake Ball make up for a strong seam attack. Green is the leading wicket-taker of the tournament with 14 wickets.
The spinners however haven’t had much of an impact.
Somerset Playing 11
Will Smeed, Tom Banton, Tom Kohler Cadmore, Thomas Abell, Sean Dickson, Lewis Gregory, Ben Green, Craig Overton, Roelof Van Der Merwe, Jake Ball, Riley Meredith.
Glamorgan
Glamorgan hasn’t been in the best of forms this season. With just 2 wins in 5 matches, the team is languishing in the bottom half of the points table.
The opening pair of Kiran Carlson and Eddie Byrom hasn’t been in the best of forms this season. As a result, the team has failed to score quick runs during the PowerPlays and often failed to post big totals. Sam Northeast and Colin Ingram on the other hand have fared much better, scoring 2 half-centuries each.
However, they will need the other batsmen to shoulder more responsibilities. It is a similar story with the bowling unit as well.
Mason Crane is the pick of the bowlers with 10 wickets but has received little support at the other end. Glamorgan will need to play well if they want to defeat a quality side like Somerset.
Glamorgan Playing 11
Kiran Carlson, Eddie Byrom, Sam Northeast, Colin Ingram, Marnus Labuschagne, Chris Cooke, Daniel Douthwaite, Mason Crane, Timm van der Gugten, Jamie McIlroy, Andy Gorvin.
