Glamorgan will lock horns with Somerset in the 95th match of the Vitality Blast 2023 at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on June 21. Glamorgan have won and lost five matches each and are in the sixth position in the South Group. On the other hand, Somerset have won eight matches from 10 they have played and are at the top of the table in the South Group. 

Glamorgan had squared off against Surrey in their last match, where Glamorgan won the toss and elected to field. Surrey started brilliantly by scoring at a rapid pace. They did not slow down even when they lost a few wickets and kept their scoring rate up and above. With a similar finish, they posted a grand total of 238 runs on the board. Glamorgan also started by keeping their run rate high, but they kept losing wickets at the start, which pulled them back. This led them to slow down and be unable to play their shots freely. Eventually, they could only score 157 runs, and Surrey won the match easily by 81 runs.

Somerset had squared off against Essex in their last match, where Somerset won the toss and elected to field. Being put to bat first, Essex had a horrible start where they lost three wickets at the score of 15 runs. Their middle stepped up to the occasion and lifted their spirits. Due to their valiant innings, Essex could manage to score 186 runs. Somerset meant business in their chase from the first ball and kept scoring at a more than required run-rate. They lost just three wickets in the process and chased down the total with 21 balls to spare with three wickets in hand.

Pitch Report

The track at the County Ground in Worcester is more favorable to batters than it is to bowlers. Batters can trust the bounce of the pitch and play their shots freely. Bowlers will need to depend on bowling tight line and length to scalp wickets and keep the batters in check. Chasing the total would be a preferred option here, with the average first innings score being 168.

Player Picks

8
C

Ben Green SOM | BAT

Green has been breathing fire with his bowling spells, making the lives of batters a living hell on crease. He has scalped 22 wickets in just 10 matches and should definitely be named your captain.

8
C

Chris Cooke GLA | WK

Chris has looked great on the field and has amassed 388 runs in 10 matches. He has also been a safe option behind the stumps and could be a great alternative for the captaincy role.

8

Tom Kohler-Cadmore SOM | WK

Tom has been in brilliant touch with the bat this season. He has smashed 323 runs at a strike rate of 180.45 playing in 10 matches so far.

8.5

Colin Ingram GLA | BAT

Ingram has scored 329 runs at a strike rate of 166.16 playing in eight matches of the tournament. He is a must-have pick for your fantasy team.

7.5

Matt Henry SOM | BOWL

Henry has been bowling beautifully and has been scalping wickets regularly. He has picked up 15 wickets at an economy of 8.38 in eight matches.

8

Jamie McIlroy GLA | BOWL

Jamie has been highly effective with the ball and has picked up 16 wickets at an economy of 8.99 in 10 matches. He would be an excellent budget pick.

Avoid Having These Players In Your Fantasy Sports Team

8

Zain-ul-Hassan

GLA | BOWL

Hassan has been able to score just 14 runs so far playing in this tournament. He should not be present in your fantasy team.

9

Callum Taylor

GLA | ALL

Taylor has been unable to perform to his merit and has been able to score just 31 runs so far. He should be dropped from your team.
