Somerset have enjoyed a strong campaign this year, recording six wins compared to two defeats. They enter the knockout phase riding a three-game winning streak, most recently demolishing Northamptonshire by eight wickets after chasing down 239 in just 42.4 overs.
Their batting lineup packs a serious punch with three players scoring more than 300 runs this season. Archie Vaughan has topped their run charts, collecting 366 runs from eight innings at an average of 69 while maintaining a strike rate of 99.71.
James Rew and Tom Lammonby have both passed 340 runs in eight appearances and have added real depth to the batting order. They can also call on Thomas Rew for additional support, as he's scored 268 runs from seven matches at 44.66.
Jake Ball has spearheaded their bowling attack, claiming 11 wickets from six matches while conceding 4.96 runs per over. Lammonby and Ben Green have also taken 11 wickets apiece, and both will play important parts in the quarter-finals. Kasey Aldridge offers another useful alternative, as he proved in their last group game with returns of 4-54 from 10 overs.

Gloucestershire have qualified for the knockout stages with six wins from eight group games, suffering defeats in only two encounters. Those setbacks, though, happened in their final two group outings, which isn't great timing as they head into the knockout phase.
Everything revolves around James Bracey's form with the bat, as he's been head and shoulders above everyone else, accumulating 572 runs from eight innings at an average of 71.50 while striking at 110.21. He's notched two centuries and two half-centuries this tournament, and Gloucestershire need him to produce another match-winning knock if they want to advance.
Ben Charlesworth has been dependable with 378 runs across eight knocks, while Oliver Price has contributed 306 runs from the same number of games. Cameron Bancroft (284 runs in eight outings) provides another steady option who can deliver 30-40 handy runs from the top order.
Matt Taylor has been their main bowler, claiming 13 scalps in eight games while conceding 5.06 per over. Josh Shaw and Graeme van Buuren have combined for 24 wickets, and Jack Taylor's occasional spin has proven handy during the middle overs as well.

Batters will find a true surface at The Cooper Associates County Ground, where the pitch traditionally rewards clean strokeplay and consistent timing. Early movement for seamers is possible under overcast conditions, but the track flattens out as the game progresses. Spinners may find some turn later in the innings, especially if the sun dries the surface. The outfield is quick, and the boundaries are short, so a total around 280 could be competitive. Teams will look to bat first and take advantage of the conditions before any wear sets in.
The weather in Taunton will be mostly cloudy and breezy, with chances of some showers in the afternoon.
