SOM VS WOR MATCH PREDICTION & ANALYSIS
Somerset has got off to a slow start in the T20 Blast 2020 with
just two wins out of its four completed matches. It is now going to be taking
on Worcestershire, a side that is still looking for its first win. Four losses
from four completed matches are not something that Worcestershire is going to
be pleased about.
Which one of these teams is going to be able to turn things around
in this match?
Somerset vs Worcestershire T20 Blast 2020 is going to be played at
the Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton on the 11th of September 2020.
TEAM
PREVIEWS
SOMERSET
Babar Azam may not be ranked first on the T20 rankings anymore but
there is no doubt about his class or ability. He has a strong bond with
Somerset and was in fact the highest scorer for the entire T20 Blast in 2019
despite not playing plenty of matches.
His presence adds strength to an already strong batting lineup.
James Hildreth, Tom Abell, Lewis Gregory, and Steve Davies should be able to
get enough runs to win on most occasions.
The bowling has been a bit poor for Somerset so far. They have
leaked too many runs and are finding it difficult to pick up wickets as well.
Josh Davey, Max Waller, and Roelof van der Merwe form a decent but not overly
threatening bowling core.
Lewis Gregory’s return is going to be helpful in this aspect of
the game as well.

WORCESTERSHIRE
Worcestershire seems to be lost without the services of Moeen Ali
this season and it appears as if their problems don’t really have an easy
solution. Jake Libby is the only one with a fifty-plus score in the entire
tournament so far for Worcestershire. Every single other batsman has struggled
and in a tournament where the average runs go beyond the 170 mark, this is just
not acceptable.
It is not as if there are no talented batsmen in the side. Hamish
Rutherford, Riki Wessels, Brett d’Oliviera, and even Ross Whiteley have all had
excellent innings in the T20 Blast in previous seasons. A couple of them need
to hit form very soon, though.
A similar loss of form seems to have affected Patrick Brown as
well. He is finding life much tougher in the T20 Blast now that the batsmen
seem to expect what he is going to bowl.
