Somerset return to their fortress in Taunton after a thrilling but narrow 4-run defeat to Kent, where they nearly chased down 229. Tom Banton was at his explosive best with 68 off 33, while Kohler-Cadmore and Sean Dickson chipped in with aggressive cameos. Despite the loss, Somerset remain top of the South Group with five wins from six and boast a strong NRR of +0.997. Their batting unit is firing on all cylinders, and the home conditions—short boundaries and flat pitches—play perfectly into their high-scoring style. With power-hitters throughout the order and a decent bowling mix, Somerset will be keen to get back to winning ways.
Hampshire, on the other hand, are coming off a heavy 69-run defeat to Surrey where both their bowling and batting faltered. They conceded 193 and were bowled out for just 124. While Joe Weatherley and Dewald Brevis showed some resistance, the top order collapsed under pressure, and the middle order hasn’t quite clicked yet. Their experienced core of Vince, Dawson, and Jordan will need to step up if they are to challenge Somerset away from home. Currently fifth in the group, Hampshire can’t afford another slip-up as the playoff race tightens.
