Prediction Summary
Somerset are favored to win due to their superior form, having won six of eight group games in 2024 and reaching the final, coupled with a strong bowling attack led by Jack Leach and Josh Davey.
Middlesex, severely impacted by The Hundred absences, relies heavily on captain Ben Geddes and Josh Little (if available), but their lack of experience and recent losses put them at a disadvantage.
The Lord’s pitch is likely to produce a competitive game, but Somerset’s depth and momentum make them the likely victors.
