Edgbaston

Warwickshire and Somerset will lock horns in the County Championship Division One from June 22 to 25, 2025, as the stage is set for them at Edgbaston, Birmingham. The action is set to kick off at 3:30 PM IST.

Warwickshire vs Somerset Chances of Winning

Warwickshire come into this game on the back of a draw against Worcestershire where a lack of time thwarted the former’s chances of taking an easy win. They piled on 227 runs on the board with the help of Sam Hain’s 89 and Tom Latham’s 59 while the others made virtually no contributions whatsoever. Worcestershire responded with 181 which allowed Warwickshire to build on their lead by adding 280 runs to their tally; once again, it was Sam Hain who led the onslaught with an unbeaten 87. The Birmingham-based team were inching closer to their victory since they toppled eight wickets in the final innings but had to settle for a draw in the end.

Somerset have experienced quite the purple patch as they take on Warwickshire after a hat trick of victories. In their previous outing against Durham, they restricted the latter to 277 but the batters failed to chase it down as they found themselves bundled out for 172. Somerset’s bowlers made up for this by keeping Durham down to a modest 159 which gave the batters a second chance to mend their performance. This time, they delivered as they made up the deficit with seven wickets in hand to seal yet another victory.

Warwickshire vs Somerset Betting Tips

Somerset to score low before first dismissal

Somerset’s biggest bug bear this season has been their opening wicket and despite having tried several combinations, they have found absolutely no shred of success whatsoever. Lewis Gregory, Josh Davey, Archie Vaughan, Andrew Umeed and Sean Dickson have all opened for the team in the previous five games, having set up partnerships of 13, 35, 21, 11, 0, 0, 20*, 0, 14 and 50 runs. Since there is no competitiveness at all, the openers remain on the backfoot once again.

Warwickshire vs Somerset Toss Prediction

The toss winners at Edgbaston have elected to field first on three out of four occasions this season but the teams batting first took one victory while the remaining games were drawn. Although the average first innings stand of 397 is rather high, chasing is much more advantageous which makes it the top strategy for the upcoming match as well.

Weather Report

Light rain is on the cards at Birmingham along with a 25% possibility of rainfall, and the temperature is predicted to remain around 22 degrees Celsius.

Warwickshire vs Somerset Betting Odds

Warwickshire to have a better opening partnership than Somerset

Warwickshire and Somerset have both struggled to hit the ground running with solid opening stands which resulted in suboptimal performances from both sides. For Warwickshire, Rob Yates and Alex Davies are their mainstay openers who have added 5, 15, 12, 2 and 70 runs to the first wicket in the last three matches. On the other hand, Somerset have had several opening combinations in the competition so far but Lewis Gregory and Josh Davey have opened with totals of 13, 35, 21 and 11 runs in the previous two outings. Warwickshire remain more dependable in this aspect and their openers are expected to achieve a superior result in the next match.
