THE PREDICTION
Somerset face a must win match at home to Middlesex, to keep themselves well in the hunt for a place in the knockout stage. Their opponents’ chances of finishing inside the top four of the South Group currently look remote, although victory against Sussex Sharks last night has given them some hope. Whilst Somerset will be without number three batter Tom Abell due to a hamstring injury and opener Tom Banton after to a late England call-up, they do boast one of the most dangerous T20 Blast overseas batting stars in New Zealand’s Devon Conway. Providing that the Black Caps opener can get Somerset off to a good start with the bat, their bowling led by the typically pacey Craig Overton should ensure that the Cidermen restrict a fairly ordinary Middlesex side to a losing total, whether they bat or bowl first.
