Somerset will face Middlesex in the 36th match of Vitality Blast 2023 on Friday (June 2) at The Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton. Somerset have been the most successful team in the tournament so far and have won all four matches. They are in first place in the points table. Middlesex have had a poor record so far and have failed to win a single game.

Somerset faced Kent in their previous game, and the batters had an off day. Tom Lammonby was the highest-scorer for Somerset and scored 34 runs off 31 deliveries.

Middlesex faced Glamorgan in their last game, and Glamorgan had a great outing with the bat. They lost three wickets for just 51 runs before the end of the seventh over. Colin Ingram and Chris Cooke added 187 runs for the fourth wicket and helped Glamorgan reach a total of 238 runs for the loss of three wickets in 20 overs. Stephen Eskinazi and Joe Cracknell provided a solid start to Middlesex and added 146 runs for the first wicket. But no other batter managed to score more than 20 runs, and Middlesex lost the game by 29 runs.
