Yet again, Somerset came back with a win in Round 5. They played their last match against Hampshire and defeated their opponent by 10 wickets. Not to forget, the team had made their way up to the finals in the last season of Bob Willis Trophy 2020 to play against Essex.

Surrey, who featured from the South Group, could barely manage one win and lost the rest of the four matches to their opponents.

Out of the six matches played in the current tournament, Somerset have won four and lost one. On the contrary, Surrey have only won one match, lost two and drew two other matches. Where Somerset is at the second spot on the points table, Surrey is at the fourth. The teams will be having their first encounter this season and are playing under the same group. Meanwhile, I have assorted the top three betting tips from the SOM vs SUR match for you to take a look.

Tom Abell To Score Over 30.5 Runs

Starting off with the captain of the team who has been playing phenomenally in the ongoing tournament. The right-handed batsman is the latest and perhaps the most exciting of Somerset’s locally developed players. Abell made his debut for Somerset in 2014 against Warwickshire. He moved up the rank swiftly and was named the captain in 2017 season. Since his debut he has played 73 First Class matches for Somerset scoring over 3800 runs. He is the highest run-scorer for Somerset in the ongoing tournament.

Tom Abell has played 9 innings in the current season and scored 397 runs at an average of 49.62. His first innings scores from the five matches played are 64, 41, 88, 26 & 4. Although he started off on a slow track, Abell picked up his pace with the bat eventually. From the 155 First Class innings played in his career, the captain has 4638 runs to his name. He is one of the key factors behind Somerset’s recent success. Sportsbet.io has offered betting odds of 1.85 for Tom Abell to score over 30.5 runs in the next SOM vs SUR match.

Rory Burns To Score Over 26.5 Runs

Let us now shift our focus to the captain of the opponent team, Rory Burns for our second bet. Burns as a batsman is known for his impressive consistency. Being a fixture for Surrey since 2014, the opening batsman passed 1000- runs in five successive seasons between 2014-2018. Although Surrey has been quite an under-performer, Burns' constant endeavor lies in fetching maximum runs for his team. In the current tournament, Burns is the second highest run-getter for his team after Ollie Pope.

The 30-year-old has played 7 innings and made 331 runs from it at an average of 47.28 which includes four half-centuries. In the recent two matches played against Hampshire and Leicestershire, Burns has scored 75 and 80 runs respectively.
