Glamorgan travel to Taunton for their next match in the Royal London One-Day Cup with the Welsh county meeting Somerset in a match scheduled to start at 11.00am on Sunday, July 24th.
Glamorgan return to action in the 50 overs competition in a contest which sees second-placed Glamorgan meet third-placed Somerset. The Welsh county have six points from their four games last month, and will be looking to maintain their excellent form in white-ball cricket as they press for a quarter-final berth in the One-Day Cup.
Glamorgan were victorious on their most recent visit to Taunton for a 50-overs contest, winning a rain-affected game in 2014 by 95 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis Method. Jacques Rudolph led the way with a fine 111 before half-centuries by Murray Goodwin and Chris Cooke propelled Glamorgan to a decent total. Michael Hogan then delivered a waspish opening spell as he removed both openers, and with the rest of the attack in frugal mode, Somerset’s batsmen opted for the aerial route before falling to some fine catches.
The year before, Glamorgan had been involved in a couple of action-packed List A matches with Somerset. The first at Taunton saw a spirited fight-back with the bat by Ben Wright and Dean Cosker, before their sterling efforts were trumped by Craig Meschede who oversaw a late recovery by the home side who won by three wickets. The return match at Cardiff was equally dramatic as Glamorgan mounted a successful run-chase. Mark Wallace led the way with a fine 70, but a mid-innings wobble meant that it was Simon Jones who struck the winning runs with three balls to spare as Glamorgan won a dramatic encounter by one wicket.
In 2012 Chris Cooke scored an unbeaten 137 in the List A match between the two sides at Taunton, but a quick-fire 81 from just 43 balls by Peter Trego gave the home side the launch-pad they needed as they completed victory by three wickets with thirteen balls to spare.
