Yorkshire Vikings vs Somerset prediction
Every year there seems to be a team in the T20 Blast who puts together a late burst of form to break into the knockout stage at the death and ride that wave of momentum all the way to finals day. With four wins in a row leading into the quarter-finals after one stage looking like they would be unceremoniously eliminated, Somerset look like being that team. The reigning champions have found their feet at the most important time and are looking like their old selves again.
Yorkshire Vikings have performed well across the tournament so far in the North Group, winning seven of 12 games to land in second-place. They’ve been excellent at home in the Blast this year, not losing at Headingley since late May. But if anyone can shock them on their own turf, it’s Somerset. The Cidermen are proven T20 Blast winners and are veterans of finding a way at all costs when it comes to the last eight. Yorkshire have had their demons in the past when it comes to the Blast and it would be no surprise if their campaign came to a frustrating end here.
