Lancashire vs Somerset Chances of Winning
Lancashire paved their way to the semi-final after they overcame Kent in the quarter-final prior to this. The latter were kept down to a mediocre total of 153 runs and the chase was a piece of cake for the team from Manchester. Although their top order was rendered entirely ineffective, all-rounder Liam Livingstone anchored the innings with an unbeaten 85 which took the pressure off the rest of the batters. In the end, they managed to overhaul the target with three wickets to spare.
Somerset, too, had a breeze of a chase against Warwickshire in their quarter-final encounter where the latter posted a competitive target of 190 runs. The batters had their work cut out but the top and middle order were absolutely on the money as Sean Dickson, James Rew and Tom Kohler-Cadmore were the leading scorers, having notched up 71, 51 and 32 runs, respectively. The Taunton-based side made it over the line with four wickets in hand.

Lancashire vs Somerset Betting Tips
Lancashire to score below 20.5 before first dismissal @ 1.87 (Parimatch)
Although Phil Salt and Keaton Jennings have been Lancashire’s linchpins this season, neither of the openers are consistent on an individual level which has jeopardised their partnership. In the five games leading up to this fixture, they set up stands of 4, 38, 23, 2 and 31 runs before the first dismissal. They are not a dependable pair which puts them on the backfoot against Somerset’s aggressive bowling attack with the likes of Riley Meredith and Ben Green among others.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Lancashire Opening Partnership to be Under 20.5
Somerset Opening Partnership to be Over 22.5
Lancashire vs Somerset Toss Prediction
The chasing sides hold the advantage at Edgbaston with five wins in eight matches held at the venue this season. The toss winners recognise the upper hand, having elected to field first on six occasions so far and the average first innings total of 186 is not safe. This makes chasing the favorite option for the upcoming fixture as well.

Lancashire vs Somerset Betting Odds
Somerset to have a better opening partnership than Lancashire @ 1.84 (Parimatch)
Phil Salt and Keaton Jennings’ partnership for Lancashire has not seen much progress over the course of the season, considering they secured totals of 4, 38 and 23 runs in the last three matches. Although Somerset are also rather stagnant in this regard, Will Smeed has opened with Tom Lammonby and Tom Kohler-Cadmore in the previous three games to add 28, 23 and 13 runs to the first wicket. The improvement is incremental but inspires confidence in their ability to outdo Lancashire’s opening wicket in the next game.
