We are covering SOM vs ESS Dream11 Team Prediction, Preview and Probable Playing XI for the England One Day cup.
Somerset
Somerset have started off this tournament at a very great note, with leading the points table at the moment. They have won 3 out of 3 fixtures til now, and have all spaces covered in their team. At the moment the team is looking fresh and strong with no voids of weakness exposed to their oppositions. Sussex, Kent, and Glamorgan have been the victims of Somerset first 3 wins.
Top order that includes Tom Banton, Azhar Ali looks in great touch. Both the opener has been successful till now with the bat. Azhar Ali scored a brilliant fifty against Sussex in the last match followed by their experienced middle order batsmen James Hildreth who remained the top scorer for Somerset by scoring 81 runs. The power of Somerset lies in their experienced middle order which consists of James Hildreth, Lewis Gregory and skipper Tom Abell, who is consistently helping out Somerset is tough situations of the match.
In bowling Craig Overton and Josh Davey are in their top form. In 3 matches Overton has bagged 9 wickets whereas J Davey has been successful in taking 6 scalps on his name. Batsmen are finding it difficult to read their bowling, which is turning out to be in favor of Somerset.
Essex
Essex started the tournament with a win but after that, they have lost 2 matches consecutively, which has been a major concern for the management of Essex. They are currently on 6thposition in the points table.
The team has a big problem as their star batsmen Alastair Cook has been unsuccessful with the bat for the team in every match.
Daniel Lawrence scored a fifty in his last match, which is his 2nd in this tournament in 2019. He needs to go big and play the role of sheet anchor which might help other batsmen to play freely. Essex will be hoping that Alastair Cook should come back into his form as soon as possible because everyone knows how big player he is and how it will help Essex to come back on the winning track.
They are also struggling with the injuries, there in form opener, Varun Chopra has been ruled out for 2 matches and he will still not be available due to a strain in his right leg. Aaron Beard is ruled out of selection as he is struggling with an injury of fracture in his toe.
We know Essex are slow starters in the tournament but they need to buck up until it gets too late and try to find out a winning combination for Essex in this match against Somerset.
