Derbyshire Falcons vs Somerset prediction

Somerset should enjoy playing in Derbyshire when taking into account the likely small boundaries that will greet them. They are coming off the back of victory by over 100 runs against Northamptonshire Steelbacks in a brilliant all-round performance. Derbyshire Falcons meanwhile, played out a thrilling tie against Lancashire Lightning last time out but it remains to be seen how much that took out of them.

Against this Falcons side, Somerset are expected to have plenty of success when it comes to batting and striking boundaries and it’s hard to see Derbyshire being able to match them. Therefore, back victory for the visitors in this game.
