Pre-Match Analysis:

Nottinghamshire got humbled by Hampshire in their first away trip as the match ended within 3 days. They bowled out for less than 200 in both innings as a result lost way too easily by 8 wickets. Their batters got the reality check of quality swing bowling as they handed Mohammad Abbas 9 wickets in a game. Their star openers Haseeb Hameed and Ben Duckett didn’t convert their starts into big ones. Star pacer Stuart Broad has been named in the 13-man squad which strengthens the bowling unit further.

It was indeed a great effort from Somerset lads as they managed to draw the game against Warwickshire despite conceding 1st innings lead. Jack Leach, Tom Lammonby, and Lewis Gregory played key roles in the drawn tie. Their overseas signings Cameron Bancroft and Peter Siddle put up a decent show. It’s going to be challenging as they will be traveling to Nottingham for their 2nd round game. Tom Abell who missed the last game against Warwickshire has recovered from injury and will captain the side.
