Hampshire vs Somerset Chance of Winning
Somerset were on the course for their eighth win of the season but suffered a narrow two-run defeat against Glamorgan on Friday. They lost the match but showed a lot of character as they recovered from 100/5 to give Glamorgan a run for their money. Table-toppers Somerset's only other defeat came against Kent. That too was a narrow four-run defeat. Somerset's campaign has been marked by the consistency of their batters and bowlers. They have regularly posted solid totals, and also defended targets.
Somerset look all set for a comeback win against Hampshire on Sunday. Hampshire, who started off their campaign, with three wins on the trot, went winless in their next five games before beating Sussex by 62 runs on Saturday. They found new confidence after a superb show in the powerplay courtesy James Vince, the all-time leading run-scorer in T20 Blast, and Australian debutant Chris Lynn.
The addition of Lynn has renewed Somerset's qualification chances for the playoffs but beating Somerset would be a hard task. Somerset's excellent bowling unit includes internationals - Craig Overton, Matt Henry and Riley Meredith - who have given them a solid edge. Also, Hampshire's batters have looked shaky. They have been restricted twice inside 130 runs in their last four innings, and no batter from the team has scored more than 250 runs after nine rounds of matches. If Lynn falls early, Hampshire would find the going more difficult against Somerset.

Hampshire vs Somerset Betting Odds
Somerset to score over 22.5 runs before fall of 1st wicket @ 1.87 (Pari Match)
Somerset openers Tom Banton and Will Smeed partnered for 25 runs in their team's last fixture against Glamorgan. Banton scored 12 off 13, but Smmed went on to score 72 off 49 balls to become the leading run-scorer in the T20 Blast 2025. Somerset played Glamorgan in their second-last fixture as well, as the opening pair of Smeed and Banton forged a 41-run partnership off 27 balls. They scored 11 runs together against Hampshire, but 91 against Kent in their fourth-last outing together. The two talented youngsters are a budding white-ball star in England, and have made a name for themselves with their attacking style of cricket. The right-hand duo should once again manage to forge a solid opening stand for Somerset on Sunday.
