Match Preview: Somerset v Hampshire - Royal London One-Day Cup

Hampshire Squad:

Hampshire make two changes to the 13-man squad that featured in Sunday’s convincing seven-wicket victory over Gloucestershire at the The Ageas Bowl.

Rilee Rossouw returns having previously been unavailable due to a finger injury, whilst paceman Fidel Edwards is also available after spending a spell on the side-lines with a hamstring injury.

The Opposition:

Somerset enjoyed a positive 2016 Royal London One-Day Cup campaign, topping the South Group with six wins from their eight contests.

Jim Allenby's side then earned a place in the competition’s semi-finals stage after overcoming Worcestershire, before eventually falling to a narrow defeat to eventual 2016 champions, Warwickshire.

The hosts have won all four of their 50-over matches so far this season, and currently sit top of the South Group.

Recent Form:

Somerset claimed victory by just five runs when these sides last met in August last year, despite half-centuries from Jimmy Adams and Will Smith seeing Hampshire to 245 in their chasing effort.
