SOM vs WAR Team Previews

Somerset

Tom Lammonby brings explosive left handed batting. His opening batting partner in Will Smeed will continue that explosion of power in the powerplay. Tom Kohler Cadmore offers a wealth of domestic experience with a track record of destructive T20 power-hitting. He hit nearly 400 runs at a strike rate over 140 in the 2024 edition of the T20 Blast.

Behind the stumps, James Rew adds youthful flair for the future of the county. Sean Dickson keeps up the punch in the middle overs with seven T20 Blast career half-centuries.

Captain Lewis Gregory provides steady leadership and all round capability as someone who has been there and done that in the T20 knockout stages. He played a smart half-century innings in last year’s final.

The dynamic utility of Ben Green and all-round promise of Lewis Goldsworthy also mean that Gregory won’t be soldiering on alone. Green smashed a thrilling 36 not out off 22 balls against Gloucestershire.
Craig Overton with his experience, the spin option of Jack Leach and the seam nous of Jake Ball, all mean that this Somerset bowling unit can fire on all cylinders.

Jake Ball put on a masterclass with the ball after claiming two for 20 in four overs in his previous T20 Blast game.

Warwickshire

Skipper Alex Davies brings composure behind the stumps. Despite his leadership, the Bears have stumbled in the knockout stages, losing in the quarter-finals for the last five seasons. Young all-rounder Jacob Bethell adds panache and international pedigree, but it’s fair to wonder if his flair will consistently translate to dominating T20 performances and not just one-hit wonders.

He only managed seven runs and one over with the ball that went for 14 runs in his last T20 Blast match. Tom Latham and Dan Mousley will tackle the job of runs in the early stages of the innings. The hopeful Ed Barnard has shown flashes of brilliance, though more often in singled-out bursts than sustained dominance. Barnard fell for four runs against Derbyshire.

Richard Gleeson was a standout last season as the most economical bowler, but he could struggle if tasked with carrying the bowling unit alone. The supporting cast to Gleeson will be George Garton, Danny Briggs, Hasan Ali and Jake Lintott.

All feel like reasonable bowlers but lack that extra something to create real havoc with the ball. Every bowler apart from Gleeson and Briggs (although he nearly falls into the same category) has conceded more than eight runs per over this competition.

Warwickshire Expected Playing 11

Alex Davies (c/wk), Tom Latham, Jacob Bethell, Dan Mousley, Ed Barnard, George Garton, Rob Yates, Danny Briggs, Hasan Ali, Richard Gleeson, Jake Lintott

SOM vs WAR Toss Prediction

Interestingly, both teams won their previous matches by batting first. With the pressure of runs on the board in the first innings being suited to the amount of wear and tear on this pitch, both captains may favour walking out to bat first.

Pitch Report and Weather Conditions

The Taunton surface is widely regarded as one of England’s premier T20 batting tracks as a batting paradise with true bounce, even pace, and notoriously short boundaries that encourage power-hitting Bowlers can find some early movement if conditions favour swing or seam.

Still, once the batters settle in, the deck quickly tilts the contest back toward the batters. Somerset accumulated 164 for seven in the previous home match at this venue.

Temperatures will be on the cooler side with humidity offsetting that feeling of cool conditions with something warmer. Rain will have an 11 percent chance of falling.

SOM vs WAR: Who Will Win?

The Birmingham Bears was knocked out in the 2024 T20 blast semi-finals, whereas Somerset managed to advance to the final. This Somerset side has won 70 percent of its matches against all teams in its last ten matches, putting the team as firm favourites to get through to finals day.

Bet on Somerset to win.

SOM vs WAR win percentage stands at 46% in favor of SOM.
