Somerset are determined to win the One-Day Cup title on Sunday, aiming for their second victory after triumphing in 2019. This comes after a disappointing loss in the T20 Blast final last weekend.

Head coach Paul Tweddle, who has taken interim charge of the One-Day Cup side for the third time this summer, believes the team is hungry for silverware after missing out on the T20 Blast. “They do want it more because they want silverware for the club and they want to be part of that,” said Tweddle, highlighting the team’s strong desire for victory.

Somerset have enjoyed a consistent season, benefiting from the experience of key players like Jack Leach. “There’s some really important experience that’s been added,” Tweddle said, praising the team’s maturity and experience.

The team topped Group A in the competition, securing their place in the final with a stunning semi-final win against holders Leicestershire. Tweddle is confident in his team’s abilities, stressing the importance of staying grounded and focusing on the present. “We’ve spoke a lot through the competition about playing what’s under their feet,” he said, emphasizing the team’s focus on performing to their best.

Somerset will face Glamorgan at Trent Bridge on Sunday in a bid for the coveted One-Day Cup title.
