An intense battle between the fifth and sixth-placed teams in the south group of the T20 Vitality Blast is set to unfold at the College Ground in Cheltenham.
Gloucestershire have managed to pick up 11 points from 11 matches and they are outside the top four places only due to a negative Net Run Rate (NRR) compared to Somerset. Meanwhile, Glamorgan are keen to move level on points with Gloucestershire with a victory – although they do have a significant disadvantage on the NRR front. Traditionally, this fixture has been very difficult to call with the two teams trading blows on frequent occasions.
Gloucestershire managed a narrow two-wicket victory with no balls left in the last meeting in June. This was the first win for Gloucestershire in this fixture since June 2022.

Gloucestershire need a victory to overturn a run of consecutive losses that put them outside the top four places. The club are behind Somerset only on NRR figures. The heavy defeats against Hampshire have hurt the team in this regard. Gloucestershire have not had a great impact from the middle and lower order over the last few games. If the team gets a victory, the club might end up shuffling the batting line-up to get more out of the team.
Miles Hammond is the top scorer for Gloucestershire so far in the 2024 Vitality Blast campaign. After being sent out for a duck in the match against Middlesex, Hammond bounced back immediately with a fine half-century against Hampshire even if it did not help his team win. Hammond has now managed 362 runs in his 12 innings with a strike rate of 133.
David Payne continues to be the most effective bowler for Gloucestershire in 2024. He has come up with 21 wickets from his 12 innings at an average economy of just 6.87. He was particularly stellar in the game against Middlesex even if Gloucestershire failed to win the game.

The back-to-back victories against Sussex and Essex might have given a huge belief within Glamorgan but the team has suffered a big blow to their ambitions of a top four finish following the loss against Middlesex. The six-wicket defeat leaves the team in very bad shape, as their NRR has taken a big hit. Glamorgan have been sent out to bat first in three consecutive games with success in just one.
Colin Ingram is just 14 runs shy of hitting 300 for the campaign. Almost grabbing a half-century in the matches against Sussex and Essex, Ingram was dismissed for just 11 against Middlesex. Kiran Carlson came close to hitting a ton against Sussex before being dismissed for 87, but he has struggled in the last games. Carlson has 224 runs so far this season.
Mason Crane is the leading wicket-taker for Glamorgan this season. He has picked up a wicket in his last three games to take his season’s tally to 17 from 10 innings at an average economy of 7.69. Timm van der Gugten had a fine performance against Essex with three wickets for just 20 runs from four overs. After a poor outing against Middlesex, he will be keen to come back to form.

The average first innings score on the pitch has been 169 while the average second innings score has been just 130. The pitch is usually ive of the batsmen, who will feel that the ball comes onto the bat much better than in other wickets. The bowlers may not get a lot of favour. The weather conditions in Cheltenham are expected to be around 21°C with wind speeds of just 10 km/h. The game is expected to be played in mostly cloudy conditions.
The County Ground in Cheltenham has not been a huge destination for witnessing the T20 matches but it has regularly hosted a lot of County Championship games. The average score in the first and second innings has been 169 and 130 respectively.
Glamorgan will be keen to try out chasing the game after having sent out to set a target in three consecutive games with success coming in just one. The wicket at the County ground in Cheltenham produced 150+ scores in both innings when it previously hosted a Vitality Blast game in 2021.
Glamorgan might have disappointed on a bowler-friendly pitch against Middlesex but the strength of their batting line-up should come to the rescue against the Gloucs on a pitch which will be conducive for batting. The Gloucs will be able to provide a tough fight provided that the lower and middle order improves. Glamorgan are likely to continue their good head-to-head record in this fixture.
Our prediction is for Glamorgan to win
