Pre-Match Analysis:

Kent who easily sealed the game against Gloucestershire had to bow down to Surrey in their following game. An improbable unbeaten 110* runs from Sean Abbott took the game completely away from them. While chasing a humongous target of 224, their openers Tawanda Muyeye and Daniel Bell-Drummond gave a flying start, stitching a 108 run-stand however, their middle order crumbled to settle for just 182 runs and eventually lost the match by 41 runs. They are back to their home ground where they have a good record and eyeing to regain their winning form.

Somerset are playing their best cricket at the moment and 3 straight wins show their level of dominance at the start of the competition. Interestingly 2 of their 3 wins have come at their home venue. They outclassed Glamorgan easily in their previous game by 4 wickets thanks to Roelof van der Merwe and Tom Banton who played their roles really well. Without any doubt, they have taken the pole position in the South Group standings with 6 points.
