Form and Table

Somerset (9th – P3 W2 L1, 8pts)

• vs Glamorgan (A) – L: 171/9 vs 175/3 (29 May)
• vs Warwickshire (A) – W: 193/3 vs 189/5 (24 May)
• vs Hampshire (H) – W: 160/3 vs 158/10 (22 May)

Two wins from three is a solid start for Somerset. The loss to Glamorgan last time out was comprehensive – chased down 172 in under 14 overs – but the wins over Warwickshire and Hampshire were both clinical chases. This is a side that knows how to get over the line.

Glamorgan (12th – P3 W1 L2, 4pts)

• vs Somerset (H) – W: 175/3 vs 171/9 (29 May)
• vs Gloucestershire (H) – L: 157/8 vs 158/8 (23 May)
• vs Northamptonshire (A) – L: 162/8 vs 165/8 (22 May)

One win from three, but that solitary victory was emphatic – a seven-wicket thrashing of Somerset just five days ago. The two defeats were tight, both by margins of one and three runs respectively, so Glamorgan are not far off at all.

T20 Blast 2026 Standings – Top 4

Somerset have a game in hand on most teams above them and a win here could lift them into contention. Glamorgan need results fast to avoid falling behind early.

Head-to-Head

9 meetings since 2022 (Statz data). Somerset lead 6-3 overall, though Glamorgan have won the last two encounters – including that dominant seven-wicket chase on 29 May. The previous meeting before that saw Glamorgan win by 2 runs in a thriller at Taunton last July. Somerset have won all four matches at home in this fixture, which is a significant factor.

Dream11 Tips – Captain and Vice Captain

Captain: Daniel Douthwaite – Projected 90.9-92.2 Dream11 points. The Glamorgan all-rounder is the top projected scorer in this fixture. He took 12 wickets across all T20 Blast seasons tracked on Statz and scored 51 in his only innings this season. Genuine with both bat and ball.

Vice Captain: Ned Leonard – Projected 84.3-84.4 Dream11 points. The young quick has been electric, taking 4 wickets on debut this season. His economy of 7.96 is the best among Glamorgan’s regular bowlers and Statz projects him for 1.78 wickets per game.

Also consider:

• Nathan McAndrew – 83.4-84.0 pts
• Daniel Sams – 78.8-81.3 pts
• Lewis Gregory – 77.6-80.5 pts

Key Players

James Rew (Somerset) – Somerset’s leading run scorer this season with 162 runs at an average of 54.0 and a high score of 93. He has hit 20+ runs in 100% of his last 5 innings and 30+ in 66.7% (Statz hit rates). The left-hander’s form is outstanding and he is projected for 28.7-31.8 runs. An excellent bet builder candidate.

Tom Banton (Somerset) – Has scored 20+ runs in 100% of his last 5 innings and 30+ in 100% (Statz hit rates). With 136 runs from 3 innings this season at 45.33, the wicketkeeper-batter has been remarkably consistent. Projected for 25.3-28.0 runs with a strike rate of 147.7.

Kiran Carlson (Glamorgan) – Glamorgan’s captain and leading run scorer with 139 runs this season including a stunning century (109) against Somerset. A 20+ hit rate of 33.3% this season, but that includes a 109 which skews the picture. When Carlson fires, Glamorgan win. Projected for 26.0-27.2 runs.

Craig Overton (Somerset) – Somerset’s leading wicket-taker with 5 wickets from 3 matches. His 2+ wickets hit rate is 66.7% this season (Statz hit rates). The experienced seamer brings control and wicket-taking ability, projected for nearly 1 wicket per game with an economy of 8.16.

Verdict and Betting Angles

Somerset are the pick here. Despite losing to Glamorgan five days ago, their overall form is stronger – two wins from three, an excellent home record in this fixture (4-0 at home in the H2H), and Statz gives them a 58-59% win probability. The Glamorgan loss was a blip against a side who had everything go right on the night, and Taunton has historically been a graveyard for visiting teams in this matchup.
