Batting first, the Steelbacks managed a modest total of 143 all out in 19.2 overs. Jake Ball led the bowling charge for Somerset with an impressive four wickets for 17 runs, including a maiden over, while Riley Meredith supported strongly, taking three wickets for 21. Despite Chris Lynn’s aggressive 39 off 26 deliveries, the Northants innings struggled to gain momentum against disciplined bowling and sharp fielding.
