Nottinghamshire Team News & Playing 11
The team's batting relies heavily on the opening pair of Alex Hales and Riki Wessels. Both the batsmen have made valuable contributions for Nottinghamshire in the recent few matches and it will be up to them to take the innings off to a brisk start. Jake Ball and Ish Sodhi have been the most impressive bowlers with 16 and 15 wickets respectively. Nottinghamshire will need these two to have a good day with the ball against Somerset.

Nottinghamshire vs Somerset Betting Odds
Nottinghamshire Outlaws have been very impressive in this year's NatWest T20 Blast. With eight wins from 12 completed matches, they finished the league stage as the North Group table toppers. Nottinghamshire will be playing on their home ground which is one of the reasons why they begin as favorites to win the third quarter-final at 1.52 with 1xbet and 1.53 with Bet365. Somerset have not been that consistent and they barely managed to break into the top four. They are outsiders as Betfair and Bet365 are offering a high price of 2.76 and 2.50 on them respectively.
Nottinghamshire vs Somerset Prediction
Somerset may be the underdogs for this match but they will fancy their chances here given Nottinghamshire's poor quarter-finals record at home; the hosts have managed to win just one of their last five quarter-finals at this ground. What's more interesting is that the two teams have faced other twice in the past and Somerset have won on both those occasions. However, they haven't gone past the quarter-finals stage since the last four seasons while Nottinghamshire made it to the semis in the previous season. Nottinghamshire will be coming with five wins from their last six matches. So the momentum is going to be with the hosts and we therefore predict them to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Nottinghamshire Outlaws to beat Somerset in the 3rd quarter-final of the NatWest T20 Blast 2017 at 1.52 with 1xbet and 1.53 with Bet365.
