Sean Dickson's side has enjoyed a great run this season. They finished at the top of their group with six wins in eight games. The side has played well as a unit, with most players doing well in crucial situations. Dickson would look to build on this momentum and take his side to the final for the first time since 2019.
Andrew Umeed has been the most consistent player for the team, and he will look to deliver a good start with George Thomas. The side will look for partnerships between Lewis Goldsworthy, James Rew, and Sean Dickson. Archie Vaughan and Ben Green will look to add quick runs in the lower middle order.
Josh Davey and Riley Meredith have bowled well this season, and the team needs early breakthroughs with the new ball. Ben Green, Kasey Aldridge, and Jack Leach must bowl well in the middle overs, as the Foxes have a strong batting lineup. George Thomas and Archie Vaughan add depth to this attack.

It has been a strong show from Lewis Hill's side in the last four games, where they have won convincingly. They defeated the Hampshire Hawks by 3 wickets in a thrilling contest, winning off the second last ball. The defending champions would look to put up a strong show in this contest against the hosts and make it to the final.
The side will look for a good start from Soloman Budinger and Roman Walker, as they missed out in the last game. Ajinkya Rahane and Peter Handscomb played match-winning knocks in the last game, and they will be confident and look to add runs with Lewis Hill in the middle order. The side will expect Louis Kimber, Ben Cox, and Liam Trevaskis to play a strong hand in the lower middle order.
The bowling attack will be under pressure after leaking runs in the last game. The team needs early wickets from Roman Walker and Chris Wright. Tom Scriven and Alex Green will look to keep the scoring rate under check in the middle overs. Liam Trevaskis and Louis Kimber add depth to this attack.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The skies will be partly cloudy at Taunton, aiding the bowlers. It has always been a good track to bat where batsmen can play their strokes. The average first innings score in the last two seasons has been 290 runs. The side batting first will need 320 runs on the board to feel safe.
SOM vs LEI Pitch Report
Pitch Condition
Batting Conditions
Pace Bowling
Spin Bowling
The Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton, is a small venue, and batsmen have always enjoyed playing here. The short boundaries on all sides of the wicket make it a good one to bat on. There is little margin of error for the bowlers as mishits can go over the ropes at this ground.
Toss: To Bowl
It is a favorite hunting ground for the batsmen. Bowlers have struggled to contain runs due to the ground's small size. Chasing scores has been the norm here this season, and all four games have gone to the side batting second. The side that wins the toss shall look to bowl first.
SOM vs LEI
Winning Prediction
Leicestershire Foxes come here with four consecutive wins. They have batted well, but the bowling attack hasn't lived up to the reputation. Their bowlers must deliver a strong show to win this game. Somerset has held Taunton as a fort, and they enjoyed consistency this season. We expect a close contest, but Somerset has an advantage.
