Glamorgan travel to Taunton to face Somerset this evening as they look to make it back-to-back wins in the Vitality Blast
The Welsh county go on the road once again, and look to capitalise on another wonderful team performance after a comprehensive 6-wicket victory over the Essex Eagles last night in front of the Sky Sports cameras.
The Glamorgan seamers were in sparkling form in front of a raucous Cardiff crowd yesterday evening, with Michael Neser taking a T20 career-best 3/13 from his allotted overs, while the ageless Michael Hogan put in a player-of-the-match display with his three wickets, taking his total Blast tally to 12 this season already.
Glamorgan have now won two and lost two in the Blast, and currently sit 4th in the Vitality Blast South Group, two points behind the hosts who are currently unbeaten in the competition.
