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.
It is one of the best grounds in England for batsmen. Bowlers have struggled to contain runs due to the ground's small size. Chasing scores is a challenge; hence, the side winning the toss won't hesitate to bat first.
Derbyshire Falcons played poorly in the last game. The side will need a good show from the middle and lower middle order, which has some weaknesses, with the players lacking form. Somerset is in good form with the bat and the ball. The side has a good record at this venue, and the players know the conditions well. It gives them a slight edge in this game.
