The Blaze Women vs Somerset Women: match prediction on 6 September 2026

The Blaze Women are the clear favourites against Somerset Women on 6 September. They lead the Women's One-Day Cup table by 20 points, have won every one of their last five matches, and have taken all four recorded head-to-head meetings. The model expects them to score 238.9 runs compared with Somerset's 145.7. This conclusion stops holding if Somerset post a total above 250 and Blaze fail to chase it, or if key Blaze batters are unavailable for reasons not yet reported.

The Blaze have been relentless lately. Five wins from five matches, with scores against Warwickshire 282:212, Durham 356:217, and narrow victories over Surrey 106:105 and Yorkshire 123:122. They have not lost since the start of their current campaign and sit top of the table with 51 points from 13 matches. Somerset, by contrast, have won three and lost two in that same span, including a defeat away to the Blaze on 10 July 118:122.

The head-to-head record is one-sided. Four matches have been played between these sides, and the Blaze have won all four. The most recent was a 122:118 victory at home in July, but even away at Somerset on 13 May the Blaze edged it 224:222. The Blaze batted out the Surrey chase and bowled down Yorkshire to secure those narrow wins.

The Blaze are unlikely to be pushed beyond their comfort zone unless Somerset can set a target above 240, which would require a significant improvement on their recent away form against Yorkshire where they managed only 130.
