Somerset vs Gloucestershire Match Pitch Report
The pitch at the Cooper Associates County Ground is a well-balanced one. The bowlers can do well when the conditions are right and they hit the right areas. The average first innings score at this venue is 177 but the bowlers can certainly run through the opposition’s batting lineup if they bowl well.
There are no big stands here at The Cooper Associates County Ground and the breeze flowing across the ground plays a key role. The pacers will get some good movement and the spinners can certainly get the drift required to trouble the batters.
What to expect:

Somerset vs Gloucestershire Match Both Team Top Batsmen
After a slow start to the Vitality T20 Blast 2023, young opener Will Smeed has found his form over recent games and hit 94 runs from 35 balls in the local derby against Gloucestershire. Tom Banton and Tom Kohler-Cadmore have both been in strong form across this campaign.
With plenty of international experience and domestic players with fine records, it was a puzzle to see Kent struggle so much last year. The likes of captain Sam Billings, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Jordan Cox, and Joe Denly are all capable of big scores in this format.
Somerset vs Gloucestershire Match Both Team Top Team Bowlers
Somerset’s bowling attack has a great deal of depth and at least one of their bowlers tends to step up and lead the attack in every game. Their last win saw Roelof van der Merwe, Shoaib Bashir, and Josh Davey all take three wickets with Craig Overton also contributing a dismissal.
Netherlands international Fred Klaassen got the big wicket of James Vince in the opening over of the win against Hampshire and came back to also dismiss Toby Albert in the next over. Grant Stewart has been a consistent wicket-taker across the campaign.
