- David Payne and Matt Taylor have picked 17 wickets each for Gloucestershire.
- Tom Banton scored 79 off 53 balls in the previous outing against Gloucestershire.
Somerset vs Gloucestershire Chance of Winning
Gloucestershire have bounced back in the tournament after losing three of their first four matches, but beating Somerset for the second time in the season could prove to be difficult.
Gloucestershire's 3-match winning run was halted by Kent in their rain-marred last game. The break in momentum just before the match against third-placed Somerset isn't good news. On the other hand, Somerset have lost just three of their first nine matches. They lost their second-last match against Gloucestershire - their opponent also on Sunday, but scored 188 runs for the loss of four wickets only.
The likes of Tom Banton, Will Smeed, Ben Green, Jack Leach and Riley Meredith feature in the Somerset line-up and it won't be easy once again for Gloucestershire to contain this start-studded unit. Somerset failed to defend 189 last time, but the very capable bowlers of Somerset must have learnt their lesson and would come with a plan.
Somerset chance of winning - 60 %
Gloucestershire chance of winning - 40 %

Our Prediction
Favorites to win
Somerset
Somerset have genuine white-ball stars in Tom Banton, Will Smeed and Riley Meredith in their unit which is likely to post a high total once again, and their bowlers are expected to be well-prepared Gloucestershire to not repeat the mistakes due to which they failed to defend 189 against them.
Also, Gloucestershire batters are yet to show consistency. They have posted totals on the board in their last few matches but the contribution from individual batters in top six haven't been consistent. Gloucestershire have also lost their momentum after losing their last match against Kent. Somerset also have the psychological advantage of winning four of their last five matches against Gloucestershire.
