Somerset vs Gloucestershire prediction
Defending T20 Blast champions Somerset have struggled at the start of this campaign with two victories and four defeats. Their most recent white-ball outing saw them concede 216-4 in defeat to the Warwickshire Bears.
That loss to the Bears came just a couple of days after they had lost to Gloucestershire in Bristol in the reverse fixture between these two rivals. Gloucestershire have won five of their six matches as they challenge the 100%-ers Northamptonshire Steelbacks at the top of the Central Group.
This is a tough one to call with Somerset surely likely to bounce back and so backing the champions with home advantage may well be the way to go for this one on Friday night.
Somerset vs Gloucestershire tip: Somerset to win
