KET vs SOM Today Match Prediction, Who Will Win the Match?

Somerset To win

We predict that Somerset will be winning this English T20 Blast match. The likes of Will Smeed,  Riley Meredith and Matt Henry will be key players to watch out for.

Australian speedster Riley Meredith extracted some serious pace in a recent South Group fixture of the Vitality T20 Blast 2025 between Somerset and Essex.  Meredith, who is currently featuring for Somerset this season, produced an annihilating yorker which split the stump in two halves. He subsequently went on to play a crucial role in helping Somerset achieve a commanding 95-run victory, finishing with figures of 2 for 22 in his two-over spell.

The extraordinary scene unfolded during the third over of the Essex run chase. Tasked with chasing a mammoth total of 226, Essex had to hit the ground running right from the get-go. As a result, the batters had to adopt a fearless and risk-taking mindset. Essex opener Michael Pepper was facing up to Meredith, and as fate would have it, the yorker turned out to be too good for him. 

In an attempt to take Meredith downtown, Pepper backed away to the legside and exposed all three stumps. The opener was comprehensively deceived in the air as the ball shaped away from him at ferocious pace. In the end, Pepper not only lost his leg stump, but also saw his leg stump split into two. While one piece of the stump remained rooted to the ground, the other flew off after making contact with the ball and landed behind the wicket. 

The reaction of the on-air commentators was priceless, with one reportedly stating that the broken portion of the stump needs to be captured in a frame. Evidently, the broken stump was replaced by another backup stump, which was available at the time of the game. But occurrences like these have been far and between in modern-day cricket.

Previously, in the first innings, Somerset managed to put on a show with the bat. Tom Kohler-Cadmore quickly raced out of the blocks, slamming a rapid 90 (39). He was complimented by Will Smeed and Sean Dickson, who registered formidable scores of 32 (20) and 28* (17) to take Somerset to a galloping 225-6.

With a massive score on the board, Somerset responded well with the ball. Essex were thoroughly outplayed by the pace attack of Somerset. Matt Henry achieved figures of 4 wickets for 21 runs, while Craig Overton contributed with 2 wickets for 32 runs, effectively dismantling the middle and lower order. Additionally, Meredith concluded with impressive figures of 2 wickets for 22 runs. 

During a Sheffield Shield match between Victoria and Tasmania on Sunday (March 3), Australian cricketer Will Pucovski suffered a head blow from a Riley Meredith bouncer, leading to his retirement from the game due to injury. This is not the first time Pucovski has faced such an incident, having previously endured head injuries.

The unfortunate event occurred during Victoria’s pursuit of 442 in their second innings, with Pucovski batting at No. 3. Facing only the second delivery from Meredith, the bouncer struck the left side of Pucovski’s helmet, causing him to retire hurt with a score of 0.

Pucovski’s Health Under Scrutiny After Head Injury

Prior to this incident, Pucovski had suffered a head injury during a second XI match in January. Despite his resilient return, scoring 131 in a subsequent Shield match against New South Wales, concerns linger regarding his condition as further medical updates are awaited.

The distressing sight of Pucovski kneeling on the pitch prompted swift medical attention, and although he walked off the field rubbing his eyes, Cricket Victoria assured that he is under the care of medical professionals, with updates pending.

Following concussion protocols, reserve batter Campbell Kellaway substituted for Pucovski. The 26 Year-old cricketer, who has played one Test match against India in January 2021, not only battles physical injuries but also candidly discusses his struggles with mental health, acknowledging its greater challenge in recent interviews.
