Somerset vs Middlesex Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Craig Overton has played all three matches and picked up only two wickets so far in the ongoing season. However, he has been extremely economical, conceding only 67 runs in 11 overs. Overton opens the bowling for Somerset and after not picking up wickets in three matches, it is very likely that he can run through the opposition line-up. You can trust him to pick up at least two wickets in this match.

Kane Williamson is a world class batsman but is somehow struggling in the T20 Blast. He is opening the innings with the captain Eskinazi but has not yet set the stage on fire. He has scored 70 runs so far at a strike rate of 112.9. However, he scored 31 runs in the previous game and can be trusted to make more than 20 runs yet again.

Somerset vs Middlesex Match Toss Prediction

The Cooper Associates County Ground in Taunton has hosted only one match in T20 Blast this season. A match is happening at the venue after a gap of 13 days.

Somerset vs Middlesex Betting Odds

Middlesex to have a better opening partnership than Somerset

Stephen Eskinazi and Kane Williamson open the innings for Middlesex and both of them are known to be consistent. Even though their strike rate is on the lower side, they tend to score runs in almost every match. As an opening duo, there is every chance for them to add at least 30 runs in this encounter as well. On the other hand, Will Smeed and Tom Lammonby might not be able to match their counterparts in this regard. Lammonby is not having a great season and that is one of the reasons why Somerset have somewhat struggled to start well this season. Hence, you can expect Middlesex to have a better opening partnership than Somerset in this game.

Somerset vs Middlesex Top Batters

Will Smeed to be Somerset’s top batter

Will Smeed opens the innings for Somerset and has done well so far in the T20 Blast. In three innings, he has scored 124 runs at an average of 62 and a strike rate of 142.52 with a half-century. He is one of the consistent players of the team and can take the game away from the opposition on any given day. Smeed has played more than 100 T20 matches already and given the way he bats, he can easily become the top batter for Somerset in this game.

Stephen Eskinazi to be Middlesex’s top batter

Stephen Eskinazi is the captain of Middlesex and he opens the innings as well. He is the leading run-scorer for them in the ongoing season, having amassed 120 runs in three innings at an average of 40 and a strike rate of 120. He makes sure to hold up one end and in the process, tends to score a lot of runs. Eskinazi can be backed to become Middlesex’s top batter in this match.

Somerset vs Middlesex Top Bowlers

Matt Henry to be Somerset’s top bowler

There is no better bowler than Matt Henry when the new ball is moving a little bit. Henry is among the best bowlers going around in the world right now. He is the leading wicket-taker for the team with seven scalps to his name in three matches at an average of 11.14 and an economy of 6.5. Henry certainly has the ability to become the top bowler for Somerset in this match.

Tom Helm to be Middlesex’s top bowler

Tom Helm is coming off a sensational performance in the last game against Essex. He picked up four wickets for just 32 runs in his four overs. Helm bowls at the death more often than not and has every chance of picking up wickets in a heap. You can back Helm to be the top bowler for Middlesex in this match as well.

Our Prediction
