The Cooper Associates County Ground

Somerset and Nottinghamshire are set to clash in the County Championship Division One from June 29 to July 2, 2025. They will take on each other at The Cooper Associates County Ground, Taunton, with the game scheduled to begin at 3:30 PM IST.

Facts:

  • Tom Lammonby leads Somerset’s run charts with 604 runs in 15 innings so far, including two centuries and half-centuries.
  • Nottinghamshire’s Haseeb Hameed has extended his lead as Division One’s top batter with 824 runs in 15 innings.

Somerset vs Nottinghamshire Chances of Winning

Somerset’s winning streak came barreling to an end as they drew with Warwickshire in the previous match, despite having put on a massive score to kick off the game. The Taunton-based side posted 498 runs on the board with Tom Lammonby and Tom Kohler-Cadmore having emerged as centurions as they scored 133 and 104 runs, respectively. Josh Davey was next in line with 64 runs and the rest did just enough to put the team in a solid position. Warwickshire were kept down to 351 and Somerset added 229 runs to their tally before declaring. They were well on their way to bagging a fourth successive victory before a lack of time thwarted their chances.

Nottinghamshire, too, had to settle for a draw against Yorkshire last time out where the former scored 487 runs in the first innings. Ben Slater top-scored with 96 runs while debutant Ishan Kishan and Liam Patterson-White were tied for second place with 87 runs apiece. Despite their efforts, the target was overhauled by Yorkshire who scored 510 runs and Nottinghamshire had to do something extraordinary in response; they were 148/1 with Ben Slater having been not out on 74 but the match was called off at this juncture due to a shortage of time.

Somerset vs Nottinghamshire Betting Odds

Nottinghamshire to have a better opening partnership than Somerset @ 1.59 (Parimatch)

Somerset’s opening wicket finally saw some respite with the introduction of Tom Kohler-Cadmore to the top order in the last match where his partnership with Josh Davey yielded totals of 186 and 24 runs. However, in the two matches prior to that, the openers added 13, 35, 21 and 11 runs to the first wicket. On the other hand, Nottinghamshire’s Haseeb Hameed and Ben Slater have been much more consistent with scores of 90, 81, 9, 73, 104 and 41 runs in the last three matches. Given that they are much more reliable, the bookmakers endorse them to achieve a better first partnership in the next game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Somerset

There is absolutely no doubt about the fact that Nottinghamshire are the most formidable team this season, having been the table toppers right from the start with four wins, a single defeat and three draws. However, Somerset have been on a purple patch of their own with three back-to-back wins before their previous draw against Warwickshire. The bookmakers back Somerset to emerge victorious on home soil and return to winning ways.
