Hampshire will take on Somerset in the South Group fixture of the Vitality T20 Blast 2022. The Rose Bowl in Southampton will play host to this exciting contest.

Hampshire faced Middlesex in their opening game of the T20 Blast. They didn’t have the best of starts to the competition as they lost the game by 10 runs. It was a close-fought contest.

Bowling first, the James Vince-led side did a decent job of restricting Middlesex to 163 in their 20 overs. They picked up six wickets in the process. The batters failed to back up their bowlers as they could only manage to score 153 from their 20 overs, falling short by 10 runs. They will be eager to register their first win of the competition on Monday.

Somerset, on the other hand, have played two games so far in the T20 Blast and won both. After beating Kent in their opening game, they carried forward their winning momentum as they got the better of Essex in their second contest of the tournament.

After electing to bowl first, their bowlers did a fine job of restricting Essex to 139 in their 20 overs. Rain arrived and the target was revised to 144 in 18 overs. The batters were effective as they chased down the total in the 15th over to win the game by six wickets. They will look to repeat their performance against Hampshire on Monday.
