Glamorgan vs Yorkshire Betting Odds

Glamorgan to score under 27.5 runs before their first dismissal in first innings

In their recent match against Worcestershire, Glamorgan managed to score just 3 runs in both innings before losing their first wicket. This trend of low scores in the first innings has been consistent in their last five games, with scores of 3, 19, 111, 10, and 14 runs respectively before losing their initial wicket. It's worth noting that in all but one of these five games, Glamorgan fell short of the 27.5 run mark. Glamorgan's opening pair, James Harris and Eddie Byrom, have been struggling this season and are averaging only 15.90 and 32.33, respectively. Given these statistics and the recent history of their first innings performances, it is highly likely that Glamorgan will once again fail to surpass the 27.5 run mark before losing their first wicket in the opening innings of this upcoming contest.

Kiran Carlson to be Glamorgan’s top batter
