It is the make-or-break stage in the T20 Blast 2026. Teams are fighting hard to finish within the Top 8 and reach the next round.

Somerset has a good record at this venue with seven wins in the last 10 games.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Somerset Preview
Lewis Gregory's team hasn't lived up to the expectations they set after winning the title last season. There are question marks on the team's progress to the next round as they sit 15th on the points table. They went down by 6 wickets to the Birmingham Bears in the last game, failing to defend 215. The side needs a better show from the bowling attack and aims to make the most of home advantage.
Tom Banton has been the best batter for the team this season and aims to deliver an electrifying start alongside Tom Kohler-Cadmore. Jordan Hermann hit 90 runs in the last game and must build partnerships in the middle order with Thomas Rew and James Rew. Lewis Gregory is one of the best finishers in the tournament, and the team expects quick runs from him alongside Daniel Sams and Craig Overton in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack has been a big letdown this year, conceding more than 9 runs per over throughout the season. Alfie Ogborne and Craig Overton must strike early to put the team in a strong position. Daniel Sams showed some spark of form in the last game and must keep the scoring in check in the middle overs alongside Lewis Goldsworthy. Gregory and Jake Ball must deliver the goods in the supporting roles.
Interesting Stats
- Tom Banton has made 199 runs this season at a strike rate of 177.67
- Jake Ball has picked up 8 wickets this season at a strike rate of 26.37

Gloucestershire Preview
Jack Taylor's team didn't start as one of the favorites to win the trophy, but they have proved the pundits wrong with consistent performances. The team has moved to the second spot on the points table after their 3-run win against Worcestershire Rapids by 3 runs. The team held its nerves in defending a low total. However, they are up against one of the strongest batting lineups in the next game and need the bowling attack to fire on all cylinders to win.
Miles Hammond has had his struggles this season, and he must support the team's leading run-getter, D'Arcy Short, at the top. Ben Charlesworth top-scored with 49 in the last game and must do well in the middle order with Jack Taylor and Joe Phillips. The team expects a strong showing from Oliver Price and James Bracey in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack has done well this year and scripted most of the wins. Duan Jansen has hit a purple patch with 16 wickets and must get early breakthroughs alongside Matt Taylor. Marchant de Lange is the most experienced bowler in the attack, and the team expects a good show from him and Oliver Price in the middle overs. D'Arcy Short and Jack Taylor add to the team's bowling options and must come good on the day.
Interesting Stats
- Duan Jansen has picked up 16 wickets this season at an economy of 7.09
- D'Arcy Short has made 176 runs this season at a strike rate of 160.00

Average Turn
The Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton is a small venue, and batsmen have always enjoyed playing there. The short boundaries on all sides of the wicket make it a good one to bat on. There is little margin of error for the bowlers as mishits can go over the ropes at this ground. The average first innings score in the last season was 195. The side batting first will need 220 runs on the board to feel safe.
Toss: To Bowl
In the last four games, the team chasing the score has always won. Bowlers have struggled to contain runs due to the ground's small size, and we have seen successful run chases in the past. The team winning the toss would look to capitalize on this by bowling first.
SOM vs GLO
Winning Prediction
Gloucestershire have enjoyed an excellent run this season, but their wins have come on the back of strong bowling performances. The batting unit hasn't fired as expected, and the team will hope for a better show in this game. Somerset has an excellent home record and big hitters in its batting lineup. In a small ground like this, they have the edge with an army of power hitters in the lineup.
