Somerset vs Gloucestershire Preview
Match Preview – Friday 21st July - 1730 – County Ground, Taunton.
Somerset welcome Gloucestershire to Taunton looking to kick-start their Natwest T20 Blast campaign. The hosts have won just one game so far and will want a positive performance to avoid a repeat of last year’s competition where they finished last.
Gloucestershire head to Taunton to take on Somerset hoping to continue their push for the top of the South group. Our Somerset vs Gloucestershire preview features two sides that finished top and bottom of the South Group in last year’s competition. Gloucestershire topped the group, but were knocked out at the quarter-final stage.
Key Players to Watch
Somerset will be reliant on Craig Overton and Michael Leask with the ball, while Peter Trego and James Hildreth will provide the impetus with the bat. Gloucestershire have Sri Lankan all-rounder Thisara Perera to bring his class to proceedings, while captain Michael Klinger is a real threat with the bat.
