🏆 Somerset vs Nottinghamshire Prediction
On paper, both teams have plenty of match-winners but Somerset look a more balanced unit. Tom Banton, Will Smeed and Tom Kohler Cadmore have been consistent which has helped Somerset post big scores while in Ben Green and Matt Henry, they have two of the best bowlers this season. Somerset’s form has also been great, winning five games on the trot in the last five matches.
The Notts have a good team but the form of players like Alex Hales is a concern. For us, Somerset are clear favourite to win.
