Hampshire vs Somerset Toss Prediction
Southampton has hosted one match in this tournament and it was won by the team batting first. However, the start of the season has witnessed teams preferring to chase. One of the major reasons for it is that matches are scheduled to start at 10 am local time and bowlers look to extract the most out of these conditions. We predict Hampshire to win the toss and field first in this game.

Lewis Goldsworthy to be Somerset’s best bowler
