GLO vs ESS Match Prediction - Jun 03, 2022

We are just a little less than a week into the Vitality T20 Blast 2022 and things are getting increasingly intense as we are moving forward. In the South Group points table, as many as four teams are tied in the middle with each side having four points each. With the fixtures that we have coming up in the tournament, it is only going to get more interesting.

Up next in the tournament, Gloucestershire are set to take on Essex in a mid-table South Group match. Both these sides would be eyeing a win here as that would take the winner to the top of the ladder, tied on points with other teams. This match between the two sides is to be played at the County Ground, Bristol on 3rd June 2022.

GLO vs ESS Team Previews

Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire may not have done as well as they would have liked to in the tournament so far, they would still be pretty satisfied with their performance. They are still well in reckoning and a win here will put them in a decent position early in the tournament. They are coming off a win in their last match and will be looking to continue building on it.

As it currently stands on the ladder, Gloucs are placed fifth with four points in as many matches. They have a decent net run rate of 0.300, which could come in handy in the later part of the tournament. In fact, it is only their net run rate that is keeping them ahead of the two other sides who have the same number of points.

Gloucs started off their campaign with a loss at the hands of Middlesex but then bounced their way back with a win over Sussex. They followed a similar trajectory in their last two matches as well, losing first to Surrey and then registering a big win over the Kent Spitfires.

With some of the most experienced T20 campaigners around, Gloucestershire have a pretty good side on paper. The likes of Miles Hammond and Ian Cockbain have performed in the format consistently for multiple seasons now. Also, the presence of many versatile all-rounders adds depth to their batting. With Benny Howell and David Payne doing well, their bowling unit looks settled as well. All Gloucestershire will be searching for in this upcoming match would be some consistency and if they can get that, getting past them could prove to be a very difficult task.

Essex

After being in a decent position to get amongst the top sides of their group, Essex would be disappointed to lose their most recent match, which was against Glamorgan. They were disaml in all facets of the game as they won the match by a big margin, which only robbed them of an opportunity to grab two important points but also made a heavy dent to their net run rate.

Batting first against Glamorgan, Essex could never really get going as they finished with a total of just 113 runs on the board. They lost nine wickets in the process and didn't really have any good partnership to help their cause. Their bowlers did toil hard to get their side back in the match but the total was too low to even send a scare down to the Glamorgan camp.

On the ladder currently, Essex are placed at the sixth spot with a pretty poor net run rate of 0.014. They have four points written against their name and would want to add more to their tally going forward. Bouncing back from such a heavy defeat is not going to be easy but Essex have the personnel to do it. They would all need to come together and play to their potential and if they can do that, getting past them could prove to be a rather uphill climb.

GLO vs ESS Betting Tips

This is an important match for both these sides as it would act as an opportunity to get them out of the mid-table rut. The winner here will join the likes of Surrey, Middlesex, and Somerset at the top of the table whereas the losing side will likely drop down to the seventh position. While there isn't a lot to choose between the sides, Gloucestershire look slightly better between the two, on paper. Also, their most recent outing was better than that of Essex and that should add to their confidence. Considering that and the other factors stated above, a bet on Gloucestershire should be the way to go.
