For Somerset who crashed to a massive defeat against Chris Gayle powered Bangalore, only a win would take them through. Three points from three games is not a bad position to be in but their run rate has plunged drastically after the 51 run loss. So, they have to get the two points in full that will take them to the magical mark of five points and assure them a place in the semis.
The mathematics of qualification apart, the County runners up will have to come up with a much better performance than the one against Bangalore two days back. Although, the side has quality players but they need to fire in unison in the all important match. The bowlers were bit off-colour against Gayle and company, conceded the first 200 plus total in the tournament. Another lackluster show and Somerset will have to say good bye. Their opponents, Warriors have so far been impressive with two back to back wins at the start before the D/L loss to Kolkata. The line-up may not have big stars but they are good as a unit. All they need is one more team effort before they have a go in the knock-out stage.
