Winning Prediction
Somerset finished the last two seasons on a high. In 2023, they won the trophy while missing out on making it back-to-back in 2024. They have a balanced squad as compared to Surrey. The return of Tom Banton and Matt Henry will give them the upper hand over the visitors. Besides this, Somerset has 4 wins in the last five T20 Blast games against Surrey.
We predict that Somerset will defeat Surrey.
