THE PREDICTION
Group 2 leaders Somerset will be hoping the rain doesn’t deny them a chance of beating Leicestershire and putting themselves in an excellent position to qualify for Division One in September. However, they are facing an opponent who won their last two red ball matches, mainly due to the performances of Australian overseas batting star Marcus Harris. The recent break in County Championship action due to the T20 Blast has likely halted the momentum the Running Foxes had gained from those wins. The reverse fixture between these two sides saw Somerset win fairly comfortably and a similar is expected here, but only if the weather forecast allows.
