With only one defeat so far in the tournament, Somerset have the strongest record of all the teams across both the North Group and South Group. They were beaten by Hampshire Hawks on June 7th but bounced back with an 80 run win over Gloucestershire two days later.
After a slow start to the Vitality T20 Blast 2023, young opener Will Smeed has found his form over recent games and hit 94 runs from 35 balls in the local-derby against Gloucestershire. Tom Banton and Tom Kohler-Cadmore have both been in strong form across this campaign.
Somerset’s bowling attack has a great deal of depth and at least one of their bowlers tends to step up and lead the attack in every game. Their last win saw Roelof van der Merwe, Shoaib Bashir and Josh Davey all take three wickets with Craig Overton also contributing a dismissal.
After six wins in a row, Somerset finally lost a game in the tournament but they were way too strong in the match which followed against Gloucestershire.

With only two defeats from their eight games in the 2023 T20 Blast, Surrey are in second place in the South Group with only their opponents in this match above them. They thrashed Sussex Sharks by 124 runs in their last game last Friday.
35 year old Laurie Evans has suddenly come to life in this year’s competition and he will come to the crease after scores of 52, 118 not out and 93 from his last three innings. Sam Curran struck 68 runs from 35 balls in the win over the Sharks.
It was the spinners who caught the eye in the last game with Will Jacks taking 2-29, Sunil Narine 3-12 and Cameron Steel 3-41. However, at Taunton, we expect the pace bowling attack of Sam Curran, Sean Abbott and skipper Chris Jordan to be the key bowlers in this match.
Surrey are in brilliant form and not only beat Sussex Sharks by 124 runs in their last fixture and Glamorgan by 65 runs in the previous match.

This is an eagerly awaited contest between the two strongest sides in the South Group so far and many pundits are expecting a high quality match on Friday. Surrey are in excellent form but Somerset are a very talented T20 side particularly at home. Our prediction is for Somerset to win this fixture.
