ESS vs SOM Team Previews

Essex

Essex Eagles got off to a rather poor start, but some decent performances in the last few matches has all of a sudden brought them back into the contention. A win here will not change their position on the ladder but could help a long way if the Eagles have to qualify for the next round.

As it currently stands, the Eagles have seven points from nine matches with a terrible net run rate of -1.064. Given their net run-rate just wins will not be enough for them if the situation gets tight towards the end of the group stage. Therefore, they will not only be looking to win but will also be looking to win big.

There are a few vulnerabilities that got exploited by Essex's opponents in the earlier part of the tournament, but it seems like the Eagles have now managed to turn their weaknesses into strengths. They have registered two wins in their last three matches and will be looking to get back to winning ways after registering a loss against the Spitfires. If they can sort their batting woes, they can be a tough side to deal with.

Somerset

Somerset registered a terrific win over Kent Spitfires to take a big leap on the points table and will now be looking to jump to the top with yet another win. At the moment, Somerset are placed at the fifth spot on the ladder with ten points to their name and a net run-rate of 0.520. They have now won four matches and are looking good to qualify for the next round.

On paper, Somerset appear to be a terrific side. A couple of matches ago, they looked a little light on paper, especially at the top, but with the addition of Devon Conway, they look well-settled. Besides, the presence of versatile all-rounders lends immaculate balance to their side.

All in all, Somerset seem to be having everything going for them. With a fantastic win over Kent Spitfires, they have the momentum and will be brimming with confidence. Beating them is going to be a lot difficult for the Eagles in the upcoming match.

ESS vs SOM Betting Tips

It is an interesting match in the context of the points table. A win for Somerset, if big enough, can push them to the top of the ladder, but a win for the Eagles will mean no change in the standings. However, a win is imperative for the Eagles to maintain a realistic chance to progress to the next round. Going by the recent performances of the two sides and their on-paper combinations, we are tempted to bet on a Somerset win. Back Somerset to register a win here in this match against the Eagles.
