NOT vs SOM Predictions and Betting Tips

The 28th match of the Royal London One-Day Cup will take place between Nottinghamshire and Somerset. The match will be played at the Welbeck Abbey Cricket Ground in Market Warsop on July 30. I have collated the best NOT vs SOM match predictions and betting tips to get you winning from the game.

Nottinghamshire lost to Surrey in an astounding manner in their previous game. The match was reduced to 30 overs per side and Surrey still managed to score 311 runs in their innings. Nottinghamshire tried their best but could only accomplish 266 runs in their 30 overs, losing the game by 33 runs by the D/L method. They won the match before that against Warwickshire, where Nottinghamshire handed them an 86-run defeat. Somerset have won both their games in the tournament but both were quite close. They beat Derbyshire by a margin of 6 wickets with 12 balls remaining, and Glamorgan by just 1 run. I have picked the top NOT vs SOM betting tips from the game for you to win from.

NOT vs SOM Player Bets

The top three player bets involve Ben Slater to go over, and Steve Davies and James Hildreth to go under the target. Take a look at the way i have come to the conclusions in my collation of NOT vs SOM match predictions.

Ben Slater to score over 36.5 runs

Ben Slater is a homegrown cricketer from Derbyshire but he completed a move to Nottinghamshire just ahead of the 2018 season. The 29-year-old English cricketer is quite a legend in List A cricket and he has been extremely successful in this particular format of the game. The left-handed batsman has featured in 38 List A matches in his career so far, scoring 1766 runs at an impressive average of 56.96. He played against Somerset in the 2019 season and scored 58 runs in the game.

Slater kicked off his Royal London ODI Cup campaign on a high note as he slammed an 86-run knock against Warwickshire in the first game. He then went on to score 69 runs in his second game against Surrey. In the previous edition of the Royal London ODI Cup, Slater played only four matches but ended up scoring 315 runs at an astounding average of 78.75. That included three half-centuries and one brilliant hundred. My NOT vs SOM match predictions give this market the highest odds of happening. Dafabet is offering odds of 1.87 for Ben Slater to score over 36.5 runs.

James Hildreth to score under 29.5 runs

The next bet is for the terrifying top-order batsman from Somerset, who got a century in his first game of the season. James Hildreth had a quite sloppy play in the T20 format, even though his First Class form was on point. He showed great form in the first List-A game this season with a terrific knock of 110 runs, but then went on to get caught at just 13 runs in his second match. He has been playing for Somerset since 2003 and has had a terrific career so far. Hildreth has played 201 List A innings and scored 5891 runs from them at an average of 35.92. Even though he has just 8 centuries and 27 half-centuries from his games, he has really consistent play from his games.

Here’s the thing though, James Hildreth has had really poor play against Nottinghamshire. In the 2019 season, James Hildreth was the top scorer for his team. He scored 457 runs from 11 innings. With an average of 45.70, he got 4 half-centuries from the games. Yet, he got just 1 run in the semi-final against Nottinghamshire. In fact, he hasn’t managed to score over 29.5 runs in his last 4 games against Nottinghamshire. He has scored 37 runs (1, 27, 4, 5) from the four games against them at an average of 9.25. This is another one of the top NOT vs SOM match predictions. Dafabet.com has offered odds of 1.87 for James Hildreth to score under 29.5 runs.

Steve Davies to score under 28.5 runs

The last bet picks the opener and wicketkeeper of the Somerset outfit, who has surprised us repeatedly. Steven Davies debuted for Worcestershire all the way back in 2005 and then moved to Somerset in late 2017. He has scored over 3000 runs for the club and scalped over 40 wickets since then. Steve Davies has played 175 innings and scored 5741 runs from them at an average of 35.65. He hasn’t scored over the target in 4 of his last 4 List A games though.

While Davies was benched for the entire 2019 season, he did score 94 runs in the first game this season. He is not the most consistent batsman though, and he got just 2 runs in the second match. He last played against Nottinghamshire in 2017 and scored 4 runs in that game While he had some decent First-Class innings, most of his games left us wanting more. In my SOM vs GLA betting tips, this ranks as high as it can. Dafabet.com has offered odds of 1.87 for Steven Davies to score under 28.5 runs.
