The Dragons of Glamorgan welcome Somerset to the Sophia Gardens for the Natwest T20 Blast South Group match. Neither side have set the tournament alight so far so will be itching for victory in this match.
Glamorgan will be hoping to get a second win of this year’s Natwest T20 Blast when the host Somerset in Cardiff. Our Glamorgan vs Somerset preview features two sides that have struggled so far in this competition, managing just one win in four matches between them. While it is still early days in the competition, with a total of 16 group matches to be played, both sides will know that they don’t want to play catch up for too long.
Both sides have favoured experience rather than the necessary glitx and glamour of high-profile overseas players, instead favouring Kolpak stars. For Glamorgan, South African Colin Ingram will be massive with the bat, while Graham Wagg will provide support in the middle-order. For Somerset, New Zealander Corey Anderson can be dangerous with both bat and ball and will provide a spark on both sides. Craig Overton is the frontline threat with the ball and will look to make an early breakthrough.
As mentioned previously, neither side have been in any way prolific so far in this competition. Somerset have had two very close matches but have ultimately finished on the wrong side of the result on both occasions, with defeats to Essex and Surrey respectively. Glamorgan have lost to Hampshire and beaten Sussex in their two matches, so it is clear to see how important a win is for both teams in this match.
Ahead of our Glamorgan vs Somerset prediction, we look at the head-to-head record of the two sides. They have met four times in the Natwest T20 Blast, with Glamorgan enjoying all the success, managing three wins from the four meetings. The only other game was abandoned due to weather.

Despite the fact they haven’t beaten Glamorgan in four previous attempts, Somerset enter the match as favourites, albeit marginally. Somerset have the better team on paper and will look to put their nightmare record at the ground behind them with a victory in this match. Hopefully, the weather will not intervene as the conditions under lights vary greatly as it is at Cardiff.
Both sides are seemingly stronger with the bat and will be looking for big totals in this match. Somerset have the slightly better bowling attack so if they are to bowl first will be very much on a restriction mission against the fire power of Colin Ingram and Jacques Rudolph
