Somerset Preview
Defending champions Somerset have had a confident start to the new season, where they beat Essex by four wickets in their first game at Taunton. Somerset chased down Essex’s target of 194 with five balls remaining. Tom Abell (55 off 36), Lewis Gregory (44 off 20), and Will Smeed (39 off 16 balls) made vital contributions to the victory.
Apart from these three, Tom Kohler-Cor and Tom Banton are the ones who can have an impact in this game. Both had a successful season in 2023 and will be itching to get a big score under their belt.
As for the bowling, Ben Green and Craig Overton are expected to do well on this surface. They might go for runs every now and then, but they have the knack of taking wickets.
The dependable one in this bowling lineup is Roelof van der Merwe. The experienced left-arm spinner has a T20 economy of 7.28 and will important in the middle overs

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The pitch at Kennington Oval in London is usually a superb surface to bat on. Like most venues in England, it provides good bounce and movement for the seam bowlers. However, the good bounce is also beneficial for the batters who can hit through the line. Spinners will get a little help too but will have to bowl in tight channels, or they are likely to be belted for runs.
The weather in London will be mostly cloudy and pleasant during the match. No rain is expected, so we should get a full game.
