GLO vs HAM Match Prediction - Jul 11, 2021

The battle for the top of the points table is growing tougher and harder in the Group 2 of the County Championship and that is apparent by the standings. The difference between the first and the third team is just 11 points and this upcoming set of matches is going to make things crystal clear.

The stake of three teams is on the cards and all of them are expected to come hard in their respective matches. Gloucestershire and Hampshire are set to take on in one of those matches, which is to be played from Sunday, 11th July 2021 to Wednesday, 14th July 2021. The match will be played at County Ground, Cheltenham.

GLO vs HAM Team Previews

Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire have been one of the most consistent teams in this tournament so far and will be keen to stay amongst the top two sides after doing so much hard work in the previous matches. At the moment, they are placed comfortably on the second spot on the points table with 129 points to their name.

The most remarkable aspect of their campaign so far has been that they have not conceded games too easily. In fact, they are one of the only few teams that have lost just two matches in the tournament. From a total of nine matches played, Gloucs have won four and lost just two.

Gloucestershire are coming off a decent win over Middlesex in which their batsmen, as well as their bowlers, did remarkably well. Miles Hammond was instrumental in ensuring that Gloucestershire puts enough runs on the board - in both innings. Apart from him, the likes of James Bracey and Jack Taylor played vital roles with the bat. We saw some important contributions come in from their lower order as well and that speaks volumes about the kind of depth they have.

On paper, Gloucestershire do appear to be a bit batting-heavy, but that hasn't stopped their bowlers from picking up wickets. In fact, Gloucs' four wins thus far is proof enough that their bowlers are more than capable of picking up twenty wickets in any set of conditions. Daniel Worrall and Matt Taylor did exceedingly well in the last match and hold the key to Gloucs' fortunes in this upcoming match. If they are able to perform to their potential, getting past Gloucestershire will be very difficult even for high-flying Hampshire.

Hampshire

Hampshire may have had a terrible run in the Vitality T20 Blast, but they certainly have held their position in the format is the most difficult, and that matters the most. As it currently stands, they are placed third on the points table with 123 points to their name. From a total of 9 games played, they have won three and lost two.

The Hawks are coming off an incredible win in their last match, in which they bounced back from a tricky situation to not only keep Surrey at bay but then got into a dominating position. Had it not been for a terrific block-a-thon by Hashim Amla, Hampshire would have been on the second spot on the ladder. Having said that, a win here in this match would push them to the top and will at least ensure a top-two finish.

In the last match, they rode on the fantastic knock of Colin de Grandhomme, who scored an unbeaten 174. However, the unsung heroes of their previous match were their bowlers who dismissed Surrey for just 72 runs in the first innings. Keith Barker, Kyle Abbott, and Brad Wheal have been in terrific form and will hold the key for Hampshire in this upcoming match. If their batsmen manage to do well, they do have the bowlers who can keep any opposition on their toes. Beating Hampshire at such a crucial juncture is not going to be easy.

Hampshire Playing 11

Joe Weatherley, Ian Holland, Tom Alsop, Tom Prest, Colin de Grandhomme, Nick Gubbins, Lewis McManus, Keith Barker, KY Abbott, Mason Crane, Bradley Wheal.
