Somerset vs Nottinghamshire Chances of Winning
Nottinghamshire bounced back from their initial loss and did well against Worcestershire in the previous outing. Batting first, the home team went on to score 399 runs owing to the contributions of Ben Slater, Joe Clarke, Lyndon James and Calvin Harrison who each scored 70, 105, 96 and 52 runs, respectively. However, Worcestershire nearly caught up after all the effort which led to Nottinghamshire extending their lead with 151 more runs on the board. At this point, their time was up and the match was drawn.
Somerset struggled during the initial stages of their match against Surrey and the former’s batting order were bundled out for just 285 runs, with major contributions from Matt Renshaw, Tom Lammonby and Lewis Gregory who scored 87, 100 and 50 runs, respectively. This was an uncompetitive target and, naturally, Surrey surpassed them and amassed 428 runs. This prompted Somerset to perform better and they ended up scoring 351 additional runs to make up for the deficit. Surrey, however, were dangerously close to chasing it down if not for the fact that they did not have the time to do so.

Somerset vs Nottinghamshire Betting Tips
Somerset to score low before first dismissal
The opening duo of Somerset comprising Matt Renshaw and Sean Dickson have not been able to make their partnership work so far this season which has resulted in low opening totals. Although the team managed to score well overall in their first match against Kent, the openers found themselves in a bind as Dickson was dismissed early in the innings. He also failed to make an impact against Surrey in the following game and has single handedly been responsible for underwhelming first wicket stands since he is yet to find his rhythm. This has been a setback for the team and it is likely to plague them in the next game as well.

Somerset vs Nottinghamshire Betting Odds
Nottinghamshire to have a better opening partnership than Somerset
Somerset’s opening partnerships were lackluster during the first innings against Surrey as Matt Renshaw and Sean Dickson put up 18 runs on the board before the latter’s wicket fell. The second innings was somehow worse since Sean Dickson turned out to be the frailty again and lost his wicket before any runs were scored. Nottinghamshire’s opening pair struggled a tad in the first innings versus Worcestershire. Haseeb Hameed and Ben Duckett scored just 19 runs together in the first innings but kicked it up a notch in the next innings where they collaborated for 81 runs. Somerset will need to recuperate a great deal if they intend to outdo. Nottinghamshire’s first wicket.

Somerset vs Nottinghamshire Best Batters
Tom Lammonby to be Somerset’s Best Batter

The first innings against Surrey saw him score precisely 100 runs and during the second innings, he achieved a half-century with 51 runs to his credit. With 241 runs and an average of 80.33, he will be expected to be their leading batter again.

Somerset vs Nottinghamshire Best Bowlers
Kasey Aldridge to be Somerset’s Best Bowler
Kasey Aldridge delivered a sensational performance against Surrey in the last match. In both innings, he was a wicket-taking machine as he captured five wickets in the first innings and added three more to his tally the second time around. Having claimed ten wickets in four innings, he will be the top choice for the next match, too.
Calvin Harrison to be Nottinghamshire’s Best Bowler
Calvin Harrison achieved a fifer against Worcestershire in the previous encounter as he delivered 36.3 overs, conceded 128 runs and bowled two maidens which translated to an economy rate of 3.50. He is the leading bowler for Nottinghamshire with eight wickets in three innings, making him the top contender to be their premier bowler.
