Somerset vs Gloucestershire Chance of Winning

Somerset head into this contest on the back of a huge 67-run loss against Surrey in their last match. Somerset bowlers were all over the place bowling first and were taken to the cleaners by the Surrey batters as they posted a huge score of 201/6. Spinners Lewis Goldsworthy (2/39) and Jack Leach (2/42) were the pick of the bowlers for Somerset. Chasing down the target, Somerset never really got going and lost wickets at regular intervals. Tom Kohler-Cadmore was the top scorer with 38 runs, while none of the other batters scored past 30 runs.

Gloucestershire are coming off a disappointing last-ball loss against the Sussex Sharks in their last match. Batting first, Gloucestershire put up a solid score of 185/5. D’Arcy Short played another magnificent knock of 66 runs in 45 balls and was well supported by Cameron Bancroft, who scored 45 runs in 33 balls. Ben Charlesworth provided the finishing touches, scoring a quickfire cameo of 44 runs in 24 balls. Defending the total, Gloucestershire were in the game right through, but in the last three balls, they conceded nine runs, handing the match to Sussex. Josh Shaw was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 2/25.

Based on our analysis of the form of both Somerset and Gloucestershire, Somerset has the best chance of winning this contest.Somerset has a pretty good record at their home ground this season, where they have won four of their six matches,which further gives them an edge in this contest.
