Vitality T20 Blast 2022, Match 60, Gloucestershire vs Somerset: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

Match 60 of the Vitality T20 Blast 2022 sees Gloucestershire take on Somerset. The County Ground in Bristol will host this potentially exciting South Group fixture.

Gloucestershire have won three of their six games in the T20 Blast so far. They have lost two while their match against Essex was washed out due to rain. The Gloucestershire team faced Glamorgan in their previous fixture and beat them convincingly. They will be eager to keep performing in a similar fashion.

After electing to bowl first, the Gloucestershire bowlers did a fine job of restricting Glamorgan to 158 in their 20 overs. The batters then backed up their bowlers as they chased down the total with one over to spare.

Somerset, on the other hand, have played five games so far in the T20 Blast. They have won four and lost one. After losing to Sussex, they turned the tables to beat Glamorgan in their next game. They will now look to carry forward the winning momentum.

Bowling first, Somerset’s bowlers struggled a bit as Glamorgan posted 173 on the board. They lost seven wickets in the process. Will Smeed then led the charge with the bat at the top of the order as he remained unbeaten on 94 to guide his side across the line in the 15th over.
