SOM vs GLO Match Prediction - Aug 16, 2019

Somerset and Gloucestershire are right next to each other in the crowded South Group standings. Ironically, Somerset with five wins from nine matches sits in the fifth spot while Gloucestershire sits in fourth with four wins from ten matches.

This seeming aberration is down to rained put matches and a tie that Gloucestershire has had to go through.

With just four-five matches remaining for most teams, the final push to make it into the qualifying zone must come now.

Somerset vs Gloucestershire T20 Blast 2019 is going to be played at the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton on the 16th of August 2019.

SOM vs GLO Team Previews

Somerset

Tom Banton has been one of the biggest revelations of the T20 Blast and there are already calls for him to be fast-tracked into the England T20 side. His 100 off just52 balls in the previous match would have only given strength to such calls.

Babar Azam, his opening partner. Has also been superb and is proving just why he is rated as the best batsman in the world when it comes to T20 cricket.

James Hildreth, Tom Abell, and Edward Byrom are also all in pretty good form making the Somerset batting lineup one of the best in the entire competition. The bowling is very well represented by Craig Overton, Tim Groenewald, Jerome Taylor, and Max Waller.

The spin bowling duties fall on the vastly experienced Roelof van der Merwe to make sure that Somerset has all its bases covered.

Gloucestershire

An excellent bowling performance from Gloucestershire helped restrict Hampshire to a small total which the batsmen then chased down with ease. The form of Chris Liddle, who took three wickets, and the fact that Michael Klinger finally showed some signs of getting into good batting form were probably the biggest gains for Gloucestershire.

James Bracey top-scored with 64 runs to his name and is going to be very important in this upcoming fixture alongside Ian Cockbain and Ryan Higgins.

The Gloucestershire batting is not as strong as Somerset and so the team must hope that at least one of its batsmen is able to have an excellent day in this coming match.

Andrew Tye and David Payne are in good bowling form which is good news for Gloucestershire. Now that Chris Liddle has also picked up wickets, the team can hope to make life difficult for Somerset’s batsmen.

Pitch and Conditions

Somerset vs Gloucestershire T20 Blast 2019 is going to be played at the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton. The weather forecast for match day is not good and a very high chance of rain is being foretold.

The pitch at Somerset is excellent for batting and it is going to be a very high scoring game if the weather relents and actually allows some cricket to be played.

SOM vs GLO Betting Tips

Somerset is the far stronger team in terms of batting strength and the current form of its players is also better than Gloucestershire. We think Somerset is going to be able to win this match unless the weather plays spoilsport, which in this case would be a real shame.
