It is midseason in the T20 Blast 2025, and teams are fighting hard to strengthen their position on the points table.

Somerset looks in excellent form this season. They have won three games in a row and play at a venue where they have won the last nine out of ten games.

It has been a dream start in the season for Lewis Gregory's side. They have won three consecutive games and put themselves in a strong position. It was a clinical performance with the bat and the ball from the team as they defeated the Sussex Sharks by 7 wickets. The bowling attack has troubled the batters in all games, and Gregory would like to ride this momentum and put the team in a strong position on the points table with a win.
The team expects a strong start from Will Smeed and Tom Lammonby, as both players have looked in good form this summer. Tom Kohler-Cadmore played a match-winning knock in the last game, and he must build partnerships with Tom Abell and Thomas Rew in the middle order. The team has depth in the batting lineup and expects quick runs from Lewis Gregory, Ben Green, and Craig Overton.
Craig Overton has used the new ball to his advantage. The team expects early strikes from him and Matt Henry, as Middlesex has a strong batting lineup. Riley Meredith and Lewis Gregory must keep the scoring rate under check on the middle overs after leaking runs in the last game. Lewis Goldsworthy and Ben Green will look to do well in the supporting role.

After struggling in the first three games, Stephen Eskinazi's team finally hit form in the last game. They defeated the Essex Eagles by 6 wickets in the last game. The team faces a tough challenge against Somerset, with four losses behind their backs. Eskinazi expects a strong show from his players in this game to put their campaign on track.
Stephen Eskinazi led from the front in the last game and will look to deliver a powerful start with Kane Williamson. Ben Geddes did well in the last game, and the team expects him to build partnerships with Leus du Plooy and Jack Davies in the middle. Ryan Higgins and Luke Hollman are good hitters, and the team expects them to perform strongly.
Noah Cornwell and Joshua Little have struggled with the new ball in most games, and the team expects them to strike early as the Somerset batters will take them on. Tom Helm will be confident after his 4-wicket haul in the last game. The side expects a good show in the supporting roles of Zafar Gohar, Ryan Higgins, and Luke Hollman.

The skies over Taunton will be cloudy. We expect excellent batting conditions on this wicket, allowing batsmen to score runs. Bowlers don't have any room for error and must execute their plans flawlessly. The average first-inning score is 172 runs, and the side batting first would like to have 200 on the board.

Average TurnThe Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton, is one of the best batting surfaces in England, as the small boundaries and flat wicket allow them to score runs easily. Fast bowlers get some assistance on this track with the new ball but have no margin for error. Spinners have struggled here as the small size of the ground makes it difficult to put brakes on the scoring rate.
This venue is a batsman's paradise, and teams have chased down big scores here. The team chasing the score has won the last four games at this venue. The wicket assists bowlers early in the game but offers scoring opportunities to batsmen. The side winning the toss shall look to bowl first.
Middlesex won the last game, but the team has struggled with consistency this season. They have a poor record against Somerset and must punch above their weight with the bat and the ball to win. Somerset has won all games this season, and the team has an excellent record at this venue. We expect Somerset to start favourites in this game by the current form.
