Somerset vs Northamptonshire Steelbacks prediction
If anyone can counter Northamptonshire Steelbacks and their top order firepower it would be reigning champions Somerset, who had enjoyed a long T20 era of success formed from assembling a team of hard-hitters from top to bottom. But this has been a rare down-year for Somerset, who are fighting just to make it into the knockout stage.
The Steelbacks are already guaranteed to be in the quarter-finals and that may well lead to them just taking their foot off the gas a little, which could open the door for the home side. When the pressure is on, Somerset have often come through when it comes to the Blast for a number of years now and it’s hard to see that changing. Back them to find a way to beat this Northants side.
