So, that is it from myself, Karthik Raj, my co-commentator, Anirudh Modi and our scorer for this match, Paras Yadav. Do stay tuned to our coverage on Saturday with a lot more cricketing action lined-up.
Lewis Gregory (Somerset Captain): "The lads are playing brilliantly, the confidence is high. It's just the start and there's a long way to go. It was difficult to slow but the guy did well to take the pace off and terrific performance from Golds.
Yes, we want to play good cricket and long it may continue."

Jack Taylor (Gloucestershire Captain): "We were a bit short with the bat. In hindsight, 150-160 is a different game. They bowled very well as well. To be frank, we haven't had any momentum which has been disappointing. Hopefully, we can come back stronger."
Lewis Goldsworthy (Player of the Match): "We bowled and fielded well. It was a tricky wicket and we adapted well to win the game. I think bowling the hard lengths and changing the pace a bit is key to taking wickets here.
It was quite early on in the spell but we figured out the slower we bowled, the harder it was.

Time for the Post-match Presentation!
02:07 AM IST, 09:37 PM Local Time: A clinical performance from Somerset as they register an XX-wicket victory against Gloucestershire at their own home. The bowlers set it up while Will Smeed was fantastic too with his fifty to guide the team home.
Defending 136, Gloucestershire needed a good start and they got it with David Payne trapping Tom Banton in front for a four-ball duck. Somerset got through the Powerplay without any more blows with the scoreboard reading 48/1. Gloucestershire got a big wicket in the 7th over as D’Arcy Short had Tom Kohler-Cadmore caught behind.
The away side fell into further trouble when Ajeet Singh Dale forced a miscued pull shot from Tom Abell as he was caught at mid-wicket. At 57/3, Somerset needed a partnership and that is exactly what Will Smeed and Sean Dickson provided. Smeed survived a chance as well when Miles Hammond parried a routine opportunity at deep mid-wicket off Short’s bowling in the 9th over.
Once he settled down, Dickson showcased his range with a couple of sixes as the asking rate was never allowed to go high. The equation came down to less than run-a-ball when Zaman Akhter bowled Dickson with a searing yorker. Meanwhile, Smeed got to his fifty off 42 balls in the 16th over as Somerset began to coast towards victory.
The Somerset skipper, Lewis Gregory made sure that Gloucestershire had no way back into the game as he smacked 33 off 17 balls to take his side home with 14 balls to spare. The defending champions, Gloucestershire succumbed to their fourth consecutive defeat while the runners-up of the 2024 T20 Blast season, Somerset have gone five in five with this result.
