Before both teams took to the field on May 29th, this fixture looked like one which could easily be predicted with Somerset enjoying a 100% winning record and Glamorgan yet to get their first point of the campaign.
But fast forward one further round in the 2026 T20 Blast and that night in Cardiff means that it is Glamorgan who will come into this game with renewed confidence while Somerset will suddenly be second-guessing all their actions.
And for all of Somerset's strong record in this competition, it is very interesting that Glamorgan have had the most success over recent years so there will be more than a bit of expectancy in the away dressing room.
It looks like being a very interesting contest on Thursday evening.

When a team has lost two games out of two in the tournament and are already being written off for their chances of progressing from the group stage, they need their captain to step up and that is exactly what Kiran Carlson did for Glamorgan on Friday night.
In front of his home fans, the skipper took the attack to Somerset's impressive bowling attack and hit 19 boundaries - 13x fours and 6x sixes - in his 45-ball 109.
Opener Will Smale also impressed with 40 runs from 27 balls with the openers putting on 146 before Carlson was the first man out.
With the ball, Nathan McAndrew will be keen to bowl at Somerset's batters once again after taking 4/15 as will Mason Crane who took 3/42.

Despite a brilliant knock from Tom Banton at the top of the order for Somerset in their last game, it was not enough on Friday and revenge will be on the mind of Lewis Gregory's side in this clash.
Somerset will also be without James Rew who is in the England squad and although will not be playing in the game will stay with the group throughout the Test at Lord's.
Banton and Tom Abell, along with Thomas Rew and Daniel Sams, will be expected to hit the majority of the runs.
With the ball, the whole unit needs to perform better with the experienced duo of Craig Overton and Jake Ball key.

Taunton has long been one of the prettier and contained grounds in the UK and there will be a big and raucous crowd in for the game. We expect a par total to be in the region of 175.
Glamorgan won the toss and chose to bowl first in Cardiff on Friday night on their way to victory so we predict both captains will choose to bowl first if they win the toss ahead of this match.
Glamorgan have shown that they are a far better side than their opening two games suggested and with Kiran Carlson in form then anything is possible. However, we predict that Somerset will be focused and will return to winning ways in this fixture.
We are backing Somerset to win!
