Somerset return to Taunton riding a wave of momentum after a composed 4-wicket win over Hampshire, solidifying their place at the top of the South Group with 8 wins in 10 matches. The defending champions are once again proving why they're the most complete side in the tournament, boasting firepower, depth, and clarity of roles throughout the XI. Essex, meanwhile, come into this game after finally breaking their winless run with a rain-affected 12-over chase against Surrey – a glimmer of relief in what has otherwise been a dismal campaign.

Somerset’s batting continues to be their standout feature. Tom Kohler-Cadmore, Will Smeed, and Tom Abell have all contributed vital knocks, while Sean Dickson and Ben Green offer flexibility in the middle. With a potent pace attack led by Craig Overton, Riley Meredith, and Matt Henry, they’ve successfully defended and chased down targets alike. At home, on a traditionally high-scoring Taunton wicket, they’ll back themselves to dominate again.

Essex, despite their win, still sit at the bottom of the table and have struggled for rhythm across departments. Paul Walter and Michael Pepper have shown glimpses of form, but inconsistency in both batting and bowling has been their undoing. With just one win in 10 games, they’ll need a dramatic turnaround to match Somerset’s all-round quality.

On current form, home advantage, and squad depth, Somerset are strong favourites to continue their winning streak.

Bet on Somerset to win.
