Somerset scored 209 -5 mainly thanks to Lewis Gregory 60*, James Hildreth 52 and Tom Abell 46* who batted brilliantly.
In reply, Notts Outlaws were up with the run rate but kept losing wickets and were unable to put together a partnership of any substance and were eventually bowled out for 190. Jamie Overton was the hero with the ball for Somerset taking 5-47 and Alex Hales top scored for Notts Outlaws with 45.
Somerset are now through to Finals Day with Sussex Sharks, Worcestershire Rapids aand Lancashire Lightning at Edgbaston on 15 September.
