Glamorgan Team News & Playing 11
Colin Ingram and Jacques Rudolph were outstanding with the bat in the last match against Sussex. The South African pair added 150 runs for the third wicket to propel Glamorgan to 198. This included an unbeaten hundred from Ingram who will be the one to watch out for. Michael Hogan, the fast bowler from Australia, has been spot on with his lines and lengths. He has taken two wickets in each of the two games so far and he is going to be crucial for Glamorgan with the ball.

Somerset Team News & Playing 11
Corey Anderson had suffered a back spasm in the first game against Surrey. The Kiwi allrounder was ruled out for the game against Essex and he might have to sit this one out as well. In his absence, the onus will be on the opening pair of Steven Davies and Jim Allenby to deliver a strong batting performance. Roelof van der Merwe will be a vital cog in Somerset's bowling lineup. The left-arm spinner from Netherlands will be backed by his team to take wickets and apply the brakes on Glamorgan's scoring rate.

Glamorgan vs Somerset Prediction
Somerset have a better head-to-head record against Glamorgan, but only just. Out of the 23 matches played between them, 13 have been won by the former and the rest by the latter. They faced each other twice last season and while their first clash was washed out, their second group game which was played at this ground was won comfortably by Glamorgan. So in addition to playing on their home ground, the fact that they beat Somerset here last time will certainly give Glamorgan an edge. Moreover, Somerset's chances will take a big blow if their key man Corey Anderson is declared unfit for this game. Taking all these factors into account, we predict Glamorgan to emerge victorious.
Final Verdict: Back Glamorgan to beat Somerset in this South Group match of the NatWest T20 Blast 2017.
