Somerset come into this fixture as one of the form teams in the South Group, sitting joint-top with 3 wins from 3 and a strong NRR of +1.333. Their recent comfortable 7-wicket win over Sussex once again highlighted their well-rounded strength. Will Smeed's 84 off 42 showed the power at the top, while Tom Kohler-Cadmore (64 off 43) and Tom Abell add depth and stability to the middle order. Their bowling remains formidable, with Matt Henry (3-29), Craig Overton (1-17), and Riley Meredith (2-39) delivering both control and breakthroughs. Lewis Gregory’s all-round contributions and the finishing ability of Thomas Rew give Somerset plenty of balance.
Middlesex finally opened their account with a solid 6-wicket victory over Essex. Stephen Eskinazi (72 off 47) and Kane Williamson (31 off 28) provided a stable platform, while Ben Geddes and Ryan Higgins calmly finished the chase. However, concerns remain with their middle-order consistency and their slightly fragile bowling. Tom Helm (4-32) was excellent last time out, but Middlesex remain over-reliant on a few bowlers. Joshua Little's economy of 6.20 was a bright spot, but overall, they need a complete bowling effort to challenge Somerset's power-packed batting.
Given Somerset’s form, depth in both departments, and home advantage, they start clear favourites against a Middlesex side still searching for consistency.
