Somerset vs Durham Chances of Winning

Somerset started their season strong with a victory against Middlesex last time around, having allowed the latter to post a competitive 289-run stand. However, the batters came in clutch as skipper and wicket-keeper batter James Rew led the onslaught with an unbeaten 106 while Thomas Rew’s 51 was the second highest score. The top and middle order pitched in to finish the chase and in the end, the Taunton-based side took home a solid six-wicket victory.

Durham, too, made a dominant start to their campaign with a massive victory over Sussex in the previous outing. Batting first, Durham posted a whopping 310 runs on the board with Ollie Robinson’s 100 as the top score of the innings, and Will Rhodes was a close second with a 96-run contribution. They had a strong target to defend and the bowlers came through, having bundled out the opposition for 259 runs with three overs to spare. The Alex Lees-led side emerged victorious by a formidable margin of 51 runs.

Somerset vs Durham Betting Tips

Durham to score high before first dismissal

Alex Lees faced an uncharacteristic duck dismissal in the previous game against Sussex which resulted in a zero-run partnership with Emilio Gay. However, the pair were quite consistent in the County Championship prior to this where they set up stands of 27, 23, 26, 0, 10, 262*, 51, 0 and 9 runs in the last five games. They showed progression over the course of the season and the bookmakers have faith that they will come back stronger now that they have had the time to settle in.

Somerset vs Durham Toss Prediction

The Cooper Associates County Ground is a fielding friendly track through and through considering 20 out of 30 One Day Internationals held here were won by those chasing. The average stand of 212 with the first bat is quite low and the toss winning skipper will be keen to field first in the upcoming match.

Gloomy skies are predicted at Taunton with a slight 20% possibility of precipitation, and the temperature will touch 21 degrees Celsius.

Somerset vs Durham Betting Odds

Durham to have a better opening partnership than Somerset @ 1.83 (Parimatch)

Tom Lammonby and Archie Vaughan’s 49-run opening stand for Somerset in the last match against Middlesex was impressive, but they did not have a strong momentum in the County season. In the last three games, their openers secured totals of 0, 32, 62, 13, 10 and 4 runs. Durham’s Alex Lees and Emilio Gay did not attain a partnership in the last match against Sussex but they were quite fruitful during the County campaign. They added 27, 23, 26, 0, 10 and 262* runs to the first wicket in the previous three matches, and the bookmakers back the latter to achieve a superior first partnership in the next match.

Somerset vs Durham Best Batters

James Rew to be Somerset’s Best Batter

As predicted for the last match, James Rew emerged as the top batter for Somerset against Middlesex with an unbeaten 106-run knock. He was also their leading run-getter in the County Championship this season with 876 runs in 20 innings, and his consistency is commendable. He continues to be the top pick for the upcoming match against Durham.

Alex Lees to be Durham’s Best Batter

Alex Lees faced a six-ball duck in the last match against Sussex but the opener was one of the most reliable batters in the County Championship. He led their run charts with 822 runs in 20 innings, and despite his performance in the previous match, he is expected to come good against Somerset.

Somerset vs Durham Best Bowlers

Jack Leach to be Somerset’s Best Bowler

Jack Leach was the joint leading bowler for Somerset during the previous outing against Middlesex, having captured three wickets in nine overs with an economy rate of 5.22. He led their bowling attack in the County Championship with 39 wickets in 17 innings this season. Moreover, he has a brilliant bowling average of 15.66 in the present tournament which makes him the top choice for the next match as well.

Will Rhodes to be Durham’s Best Bowler

Will Rhodes was the top wicket-taker for Durham during the last encounter versus Sussex where he bagged a fifer in 7.3 overs and achieved an impressive economy rate of 4.00. He was absolutely relentless and ended up with an excellent average of 6.00 in the competition, making him the leading contender for the next outing, too.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Somerset

Somerset and Durham have both been competitive in the tournament and they achieved victories in their respective first games. Durham, though, are currently second in the Group B standings with a stellar net run rate of 1.020 while Somerset are one spot lower with a net run rate of 0.388. Despite this, Somerset are favored since they have a 3-2 record against Durham in the last five matches and have greater, more consistent batting prowess.
