HAM vs GLO Match Prediction - Jul 02, 2021

No team has won as few matches as Hampshire has in this edition of te Vitality T20 Blast 2021 season. It has just one victory and it is no longer in contention to make the Finals Day. Gloucestershire is in a much better position with five wins and two no-results from nine matches. It will certainly be targeting this match as a potential victory.

Hampshire vs Gloucestershire Vitality T20 Blast 2021 is going to be played at the Rose Bowl, Southampton on the 2nd of July 2021.

HAM vs GLO Team Previews

Hampshire

James Vince, Darcy Short, and Colin de Grandhomme are all excellent T20 players with match-winning performances across the world. Unfortunately for Hampshire, this just has not been their season and their players have not been able to combine well. To be fair, de Grandhomme has joined the team at this late stage when most of the damage to the campaign was already done.

Either one of these players can play a match-winning inning but there is nothing to suggest that their form has changed overnight.

Chris Wood, James Fuller, and Mason Crane will lead the bowling attack with support from Bradley Wheal and Colin de Grandhomme. Again, this is not a bad bowling attack at all but it is certainly one that can be put under pressure by some quality batting. We suspect that Hampshire's bowlers would have done better with some more runs to defend in their matches and maybe that will happen in this late stage of the tournament.

Hampshire Playing 11

James Vince, D'Arcy Short, Joe Weatherley, Tom Prest, Colin de Grandhomme, Lewis McManus, James Fuller, Chris Wood, Scott Currie, Mason Crane, Bradley Wheal.


Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire lost its previous match to Somerset as Glenn Phillips finally failed in one match! The Kiwi has been going through a purple match with consecutive scores of 94 not out. He was carrying the batting, though, and without him contributing, Gloucestershire may find it a bit difficult to get runs.

Miles Hammond, Benny Howell, and James Bracey are the other players in the top-order. On paper, the Hampshire batting looks more formidable but form is on Gloucestershire's side.

Daniel Worrall, David Payne, and Benny Howell will lead a bowling attack that thrives in T20 conditions. Tom Smith and Ryan Higgins can be relied on to bowl regularly as well giving Gloucestershire plenty of options. The bowlers will know that Hampshire is struggling and that this is the right time to keep their batsmen under pressure.

Gloucestershire Playing 11

Pitch and Conditions

The conditions in Hampshire are expected to be a bit cloudy but dry on match day. That means we should be able to get an uninterrupted match. The Rose Bowl will offer up a surface that has a bit of bounce in it, a nice amount of carry for the fast bowlers, and perhaps some grip to the spinners. The outfield is also quite big and makes the batsmen wok hard for any sixes or boundaries that they target.

A total of around 170 is going to be good batting first.

HAM vs GLO Betting Tips

We are backing the underdog in this match. The odds available on Hampshire are excellent and on paper, we find it to be as strong a team as Gloucestershire. Sure, form is not on Hampshire's side but that can change very quickly in T20 cricket. We think it has the batting to be able to pull off an upset.
