Somerset vs Surrey Predictions

Last season’s losing finalists Somerset won their last three games in the County Championship Division One, but they have also lost two matches. Surrey are undefeated and sit second on the Division One Table with two wins and five defeats, so I am backing them to beat Somerset in their Vitality Blast opener.

Surrey’s Sam Curran has scored 88, 70 & 77 runs in his last four innings.
Surrey’s Dom Sibley has scored 82, 53, 64, 29, 40 & 41 in his last 8 red-ball innings.
Somerset’s Tom Kohler-Cadmore has scored 91*, 40, 52 & 20 in his last 10 innings.
Somerset’s Tom Abell has scored 29, 42, 27 & 73* in his last 3 red-ball matches.

Head-to-Head

Somerset have won four and lost one of their last five matches against Surrey, including the last two on the bounce.

Somerset Form

This season in the County Championship, Somerset are in fifth place in Division One after winning three, losing two and drawing two of their seven matches.

Last season they finished third in the Vitality Blast South Group table. They won their way through to the final, where they collapsed for 124 en route to losing by eight wickets

Tom Banton (515 runs) was Somerset’s top run-scorer in the Vitality Blast last season, followed by Tom Kohler-Cadmore (386 runs) and Tom Abell (352 runs).

Somerset Team News

Somerset will be without their star batter Tom Banton, as he is in the England squad for the current ODI series against the West Indies.

Surrey Form

This season Surrey are undefeated in County Championship Division One, having won two and drawn five of their seven games.

Last season they finished first in the Vitality Blast South Group table, winning nine and tying one of their 14 matches. They collapsed for 106 in the semi-final against eventual champions Gloucester.

Jamie Smith (285 runs) was Surrey’s top run-scorer in the Vitality Blast last season, followed by Laurie Evans (279 runs) and Dom Sibley (269 runs).

Surrey Team News

Jamie Smith is unavailable as he is part of the England squad playing against the West Indies in the current ODI series in England.

Verdict

Somerset v Surrey

I am backing Surrey to win. I am also backing Sam Curran to top score for Surrey.

Tom Kohler-Cadmore is a good bet to top score for the Somerset.
