TEAMS PREVIEW
Somerset Preview
Somerset are looking to overtake Derby, who have a two-point advantage in the table. Somerset are also behind Worcestershire – on NRR – having played a game more. Still, Somerset will be quietly confident after some big wins over Kent and Durham which have witnessed big individual performances.
Despite being bowled out for a duck in the recent win over Durham, Somerset’s opening batsman Andrew Umeed has experienced plenty of success in 2024. He is the top scorer for the team with 198 runs from his three innings – with only Hameed and Budinger ahead on the table. Goldsworthy is a player who has held Somerset in the top three places of Group A.
Jack Leach comes on the back of a six-wicket haul against Durham. This happens to be the first time the 33-year-old has managed five wickets in a single game of this format. Apart from picking wickets, Leach also gave away very little with only 26 conceded in 10 overs. These figures have propelled Leach to 8 wickets for the campaign.
Somerset Predicted Playing XI:
George Thomas, Andrew Umeed, Lewis Goldsworthy, James Rew, Sean Dickson (c), Joshua Thomas, Kasey Aldridge, Josh Davey, Jack Leach, Alfie Ogborne, Charlie Cassell

Lancashire Preview
A humiliating performance against Derbyshire was a big blow to Lancashire, who had already suffered two defeats coming into the game.
After being bowled out for just 99, Lancashire saw one of their few strengths from the season disappear. So far, the batting line-up has witnessed some decent performances from the likes of Keaton Jennings and Josh Bohannon. Yet, there was none of the magic against Derbyshire with no player hitting more than 20 runs.
There was a steady fall of wickets throughout the match and Lancashire never really recovered. In response, their bowlers also faltered quite poorly after picking just one wicket in the 20 overs. Lancashire are unlikely to offer much resistance based on their recent performance against Derby.
The performance was so poor that extras even contributed more than a significant chunk of the players. Lancashire have a very poor head-to-head record with four defeats and a tie in the last five meetings against Somerset.
Lancashire Predicted Playing XI:
George Bell, Harry Singh, Josh Bohannon (c), Rocky Flintoff, Venkatesh Iyer, George Balderson, Chris Green, Tom Aspinwall, Jack Blatherwick, Tom Bailey, Charlie Barnard

SOM vs LAN
Winning Prediction
Lancashire have come on the back of three consecutive losses into this fixture. Even though there have been few positives for Lancashire in the campaign like a few batsmen hitting centuries, it has largely been a disappointing start. Somerset are likely to build on their powerful results in the last few games to beat Lancashire for a fifth time in the last six meetings.
Our prediction is for Somerset to win
