Pitch Report
The surface at Taunton will be really good for batting, with the ball coming nicely onto the bat and the batters can go on to play impactful knocks once they get going. The bowlers will have no choice but to ensure that they do not err in their lines and lengths. A run-fest is pretty much on the cards. Therefore, a captain winning the toss will bowl first.
Probable Playing XI:
Somerset
Tom Banton (wk), Will Smeed, Rilee Rossouw, Tom Abell (c), Tom Lammonby, Lewis Gregory, Lewis Goldsworthy, Ben Green, Roelof van der Merwe, Marchant de Lange, Josh Davey.
Glamorgan
David Lloyd (c), Sam Northeast, Marnus Labuschagne, Kiran Carlson, Chris Cooke (wk), Andrew Salter, Daniel Douthwaite, Michael Neser, James Weighell, Prem Sisodiya, Michael Hogan.
Probable Top Performers
Probable best batter of the match
Rilee Rossouw:
The focus will once again be on Rilee Rossouw who had single-handedly taken care of Somerset’s stiff run chase of 216 against Sussex in the last game. He waged a lone battle even when Somerset lost wickets at regular intervals and he ended up scoring blistering 74 runs off just 29 deliveries at an outstanding strike rate of 255.2 which eventually propelled his side to a respectable score of 169. The South African batter would now be expected to come up with a match-winning performance.
Probable best bowler of the match:
Josh Davey was the pick of the bowlers for Somerset in their last game against Sussex. Even though all the bowlers were expensive as Sussex posted a total over 200, Davey applied brakes to some extent with some good bowling as he finished with figures of 3/45 from his four overs. He would now be hoping to showcase an even better performance and more importantly, focus on maintaining a good economy rate.
