Eddie Byrom was in rare form as he led from the front with 86 runs while Kiran Carlson and Sam Northeast pitched in with individual totals of 80 and 61 runs, respectively. Leicestershire set out to chase and managed 343 runs before they declared the total which gave Glamorgan the edge to run away with the lead.

Yorkshire batted first and scored 362 runs while Northamptonshire trailed behind in their chase with 301 runs on the board.

With 250 runs in the fourth innings, the match came to a close with no conclusive outcome.

Glamorgan vs Northamptonshire Betting Tips
Northamptonshire to score high before first dismissal
Ricardo Vasconcelos and Emilio Gay make for a solid opening pair and it is reflected in their partnerships thus far. In the previous five games, they have collaborated for 56, 13, 99, 90, 12, 31, 80 and 20 runs. They have had a few lows along the way but for the most part their partnership has flourished from the beginning of the season. This makes them a favorable duo and they are anticipated to come good in the upcoming match, too.
Glamorgan vs Northamptonshire Toss Prediction
Sophia Gardens has hosted two matches this season and on both occasions, the chasing side emerged triumphant. In both the games, the toss winners elected to field first and for good reason because the first innings totals were laughably low for this format. The teams fielding first pulled off exceptional chases which the toss winning skipper of the next match will take into consideration before opting for the same strategy.

Glamorgan vs Northamptonshire Betting Odds
Northamptonshire to have a better opening partnership than Glamorgan
Glamorgan’s opening order lacks stability since they have been trying out different combinations to gauge which clicks best for them. However, it has resulted in tumultuous opening stands of 90, 4, 44, 35, 15 and 33 runs in the previous three matches. In this regard, Northamptonshire have a lot more consistency as Ricardo Vasconcelos and Emilio Gay are a recognized pair who have added 56, 13, 99, 90, 12 and 31 runs to the first wicket. There are undeniably some fluctuations in performance but they are far more reliable than Glamorgan’s first wicket, making Northamptonshire’s opening duo the favorite for the next game.
