Somerset vs Surrey Chance of Winning
South Group Table-toppers Surrey are on fire. They have won seven and lost just one out of their 10 games so far. They are unbeaten in their last six matches, and last lost a game on June 7 against Sussex.
Somerset, on the other hand, are sitting at the third spot with five wins and four defeats in 10 matches. However, they haven't won any of their last three matches. The side also lost two of their first three matches in the T20 Blast 2024.
Battle between the top two teams of the tournament is going to be a mouth-watering one. Chris Jordan-led Surrey has a brilliant bowling attack. The likes of Sean Abbott, Gus Atkinson, Spencer Johnson, Daniel Worrall and Reece Topley feature in the side. The batting unit also consists of Dan Lawrence, Dom Sibley, Ollie Pope, and Rory Burns. Their star batter Jason Roy has been released to play in the MLC 2024, but the batting unit still is strong.
Somerset also have a few star players like Tom Banton, Will Smeed, Riley Meredith and Tom Kohler-Cadmore. But there is a lot of dependency on these players. Surrey are the favourites to win because of their bowling unit and consistency.
Somerset chance of winning - 45 %

Our Prediction
Favorites to win
Surrey
While Surrey are unbeaten in their last six matches. Somerset have failed to win any of their last three games. In their last match, they failed to defend a target as high as 195. That explains the like of fire in their bowling unit which Surrey would look to exploit.
Also, the two sides met earlier this season on June 2 when Surrey won by 57 runs. Chasing 164, Somerset were bundled out for 106 in 15.4 overs only.
