Hampshire and Somerset will play in the South Group of the T20 Blast at Southampton’s Rose Bowl. Hampshire has lost five games in a row and has a poor record in the event. They presently possess the Southern Group’s wooden spoon and will undoubtedly require good performances from their players to win big in their remaining games.
On the other hand, Somerset has had a completely different run of luck, sitting comfortably in the second position in the points standings with six wins and three losses. Their positive net run rate will undoubtedly improve the team’s chances as the competition progresses.
Weather
On matchday, the temperature is forecast to be approximately 16 degrees Celsius, with 83% humidity and a wind speed of 3 km/h. During the game, there is a 15% probability of precipitation.
Pitch
The Rose Bowl will have a dry, solid pitch that will only help bowlers in the first innings. The batsmen should take full advantage of the conditions expected to be ideal for a solid 40-over match. The wicket will slow down as the innings proceeds. The par score should be 170-180 runs, with chasing teams finding it difficult to put the ball.
