ESS vs SOM Match Prediction : T20 Blast 2025 – Who Will Win Today’s Match Between ESS vs SOM?

Based on recent form and performance, Somerset head into their June 1 clash against Essex at the County Ground in Chelmsford as the clear favorites. Essex are coming off a bruising 106-run loss to Hampshire, a match in which their bowling unit was dismantled—conceding 230 runs in 20 overs—with key bowlers like Amir and Cook proving expensive and ineffective.

Their batting was equally brittle, collapsing to 124 all out in 16.2 overs, exposing the lack of depth and resilience in their middle order. In contrast, Somerset showcased both discipline and flair in a confident 5-wicket victory over a strong Surrey side. Their bowlers, led by Matt Henry (3/21) and Riley Meredith (3/26), restricted Surrey to 146, and the batting unit chased it down clinically with Tom Abell anchoring the innings and Smeed, Banton, and Green providing fluent cameos.

Somerset’s pace attack has bite, and their batting lineup is dynamic yet balanced. Essex do have explosive players—Michael-Kyle Pepper was impressive with 51 in the last match—but their overreliance on individual sparks rather than a cohesive team performance is proving costly. While Chelmsford’s shorter boundaries might assist Essex’s aggressive intent, Somerset’s more in-form and tactically astute side is better positioned to exploit pressure situations.

Unless Essex produce something special—particularly with the ball—Somerset should extend their winning run.

Bet on Somerset to win.
