Somerset vs Surrey Chances of Winning
Somerset are starting to become a major threat to the other teams in the competition and their commanding victory over Durham in the last match has only furthered their standing. Somerset’s batters went hammer and tongs to score 492 runs as two batters notched up centuries; Tom Abell and James Rew scored 124 and 103 runs, respectively. The other batters also pitched in and made sure they had a par score on the board. Durham’s chase was not half bad considering they were able to post 336 runs before getting bowled out. Somerset took over and stretched their lead with an additional 263 runs which made life difficult for Durham. The latter could not do much in the final innings to catch up and ended up getting bundled out for 126, handing Somerset a 293-run triumph.
Surrey’s previous outing against Nottinghamshire turned out to be an unexpected high scoring game. Surrey batted first to secure 525 runs which absolutely decimated Nottinghamshire’s bowlers. Opener Rory Burns set the tone for the innings with a phenomenal 161 while Sai Sudharsan also got his century with 105 runs. Ryan Patel, Will Jacks and Jordan Clark cannot go unmentioned as they scored 77, 59 and 53 runs, respectively, to help the total. Nottinghamshire responded by scoring 405 runs which prompted Surrey to secure an extra 177 runs, courtesy of Rory Burns’ 71. Nottinghamshire seemed to be poised to take on this challenge but their unbeaten 121-run opening partnership went in vain as a lack of time caused a deadlock.

Somerset vs Surrey Betting Odds
Surrey to have a better opening partnership than Somerset
Somerset have had highly rocky, tumultuous opening partnerships and they are lacking in stability. Their opening batters have been changing over the course of the last three games and together, they have posted totals of 0, 37, 0, 56, 6 and 44 runs. This is not to say that Surrey’s openers are on point every single time but they are a tad more predictable since their stands are not constantly rising and falling; Rory Burns and Dom Sibley have added 26, 8, 86, 41 and 13 runs to the first wicket in the previous three games. The bookmakers endorse Surrey’s opening order in the upcoming match.

Somerset vs Surrey Best Batters
Tom Abell to be Somerset’s Best Batter
Tom Abell has been phenomenal for Somerset this season, having garnered 552 runs in nine innings so far. Currently, he is averaging at 78.85 and scored his third ton of the season in the last game against Durham where he added 124 runs to the scoreboard in the first innings. He also scored his second half-century in the following innings with 56 runs, making him the top contender for the next game.
Rory Burns to be Surrey’s Best Batter
Rory Burns was unstoppable in the previous encounter against Nottinghamshire. He notched up 161 runs in the first innings and scored an additional 71 runs in the second innings. He leads Surrey’s run charts with 953 runs in 17 innings and an average of 59.56, making him a highly favorable player for the match against Somerset.
Somerset vs Surrey Best Bowlers
Jack Leach to be Somerset’s Best Bowler
Jack Leach was in his own league in the last match against Durham wherein he achieved a fifer in the first innings and went on to take a whopping seven-wicket haul in the second innings. He is now the second highest wicket-taker for the team with 26 wickets in 11 innings. With a bowling average of 28.80, he is the top pick for the upcoming match as well.
Daniel Worrall to be Surrey’s Best Bowler
Daniel Worrall went entirely wicketless in the two innings he played against Nottinghamshire but he remains the team’s top bowler with a hefty lead, having taken 40 wickets in 17 innings with an average of 16.77. This setback in the last game is likely to be fleeting and he is anticipated to come good in the next encounter.
