Warwickshire Bears vs Somerset prediction

The Warwickshire Bears believed they had got off to an excellent start, having bowled Gloucestershire out for 121 in 16.1 overs on Friday night. However, the Bristolians then skittled their Birmingham-based counterparts for just 74 in their reply.

Defending champions began the defence of their title with an impressive seven-wicket hammering of the Hampshire Hawks. Having bowled the Hawks out for 158, Somerset then chased that down in just 16.2 overs with seven wickets to spare.

Somerset, once again, appear to be the most well-rounded side in the competition, albeit early on, and James Rew now coming to the fore in white-ball cricket will only add to that.
