This is going to be an intense battle between two teams who are at the top of their game. It’s the defending champions and table-toppers Hampshire taking on Somerset who are placed on the second spot in the South Group points table.
Hampshire who are the current table toppers are the only team along with Northamptonshire to lose only a single game in the competition so far. Their only loss came at the hands of Essex Eagles which was their fifth match of the season by 111 runs. They have been brilliant in their approach this season and will look to continue their good run of form.
Somerset, on the other hand, are placed right behind Hampshire with 4 wins from 6 matches and 12 points to their name. They are coming into this contest after succumbing to two back-to-back losses at the hands of Gloucestershire and Middlesex by 4 wickets and 118 runs respectively. They are short of momentum going into this contest after two loss in succession, but they will look to shrug off their disappointments and come up with a better show here.
