HAM vs SOM Dream11 Team Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips & Playing-11 Updates for today’s T20 Blast match - July 9, 2021

The Rose Bowl at Southampton will host Hampshire and Somerset in the South Group of the T20 Blast on Friday.

Hampshire are on a pretty bad ride in the tournament after registering five defeats. They currently hold the wooden spoon in the Southern Group and will definitely need some strong performances from their players to register big victories in their remaining encounters.

Somerset, on the other hand, have had completely different fortunes as they are placed comfortably second in the points table, with six wins and three defeats. Their positive net run rate will surely boost the team’s chances going forward in the tournament.

Hampshire

D’Arcy Short, Tom Prest, Colin de Grandhomme, Joe Weatherley, Lewis McManus, James Fuller, Chris Wood, Scott Currie, Mason Crane, Bradley Wheal, Ryan Stevenson, Kyle Abbott

Pitch report

A dry, hard wicket will be on offer at the Rose Bowl and it barely assists bowlers in the first innings. The batsmen should make full use of the conditions with the weather forecast set to be perfect for a good 40-over contest.

The wicket, however, tends to slow down a bit as the innings progresses. 170-180 runs should be the par score, with chasing teams finding it tough to place the ball.
