T20 Blast has started in full flow in England, and the batters are enjoying the tournament so far. The form of Somerset has been great this season, and they once again proved their class against Glamorgan at their home ground.
Somerset won the toss and asked Glamorgan to bat first in Taunton, and the Glamorgan side batted decently. They scored 173 runs in the first innings. However, Somerset made a mockery of the chase, and they chased the target in just 14.1 overs by losing just one wicket.
Will Smeed and Tom Banton added 100 runs for the first wicket, and then Rossouw ended the chase with Smeed at the end. Smeed scored 94 runs in just 41 balls, whereas Banton scored 45 runs in 30. Rilee Rossouw again was in brilliant form, and he scored 30 runs in 15 balls.
