Somerset CCC are the favorites to win this match

Rilee Rossouw and James Vince, two in-form batsmen on either side, should make for an intriguing match. When we preview a game, we frequently describe it as two dynamic sides going head to head. Both sides are well-versed in this format, and neither is a one-man team. We’re betting on Somerset to prevail in a thrilling game.
