Somerset vs Middlesex Match Prediction & Betting Tips, T20 Blast 2023

Somerset will take on Middlesex at The County Ground, Taunton. This T20 match gets underway at 18:30 local time on Friday 2nd June.

Somerset

Four games into their 2023 T20 Blast campaign and Somerset have been unstoppable so far with wins over Hampshire Hawks, Sussex Sharks, Glamorgan and Kent Spitfires. Their last game, against the Spitfire, saw them win by 13 runs (DLS).

SOM Team Batting

Although it has been an excellent start for Somerset, this has all been achieved in spite of poor form at the top of the order from Will Smeed who has contributed only 43 runs including a duck against the Spitfires. However, Somerset have a very deep batting line-up.

SOM Team Bowling

As with their batting, Somerset have a great group of bowlers all capable of picking up wickets and keeping the opposition’s run-rate down. All six of their bowlers used against Kent Spitfires took at least one wicket with New Zealand’s Matt Henry taking 1-9 from three overs.

SOM Team Form

Somerset have not only won all four of their matches but have not looked like losing any of them. They are the in-form side in the South Group.

Middlesex

A 29 run defeat against Glamorgan on Wednesday means that Middlesex come into this game looking to avoid their fifth successive loss of the competition. They were beaten by Glamorgan at Northwood by 29 runs on Wednesday to stay bottom of the South Group. 

MID Team Batting

Chasing 239 for victory, Middlesex’s openers got the team off to a brilliant start as Joe Cracknell and captain Steve Esknazi put on 146 inside 12 overs. Cracknell was dismissed for 77 runs from 42 balls with Eskinazi hitting his second successive half-century.

MID Team Bowling

With Tom Helm and Ryan Higgins both conceding more than 60 runs from their four overs on Wednesday, Blake Cullen’s figures of 2-23 from four overs were all the more impressive. The 21 year old comes into this match with five wickets from his last two matches.

MID Team Form

Middlesex have had one narrow defeat with the other three defeats by significant margins. They are yet to put together a team performance with both bat and ball.
