County Ground

Gloucestershire will lock horns with Leicestershire in the County Championship Division Two and their encounter is going to be hosted at County Ground, Bristol, between April 25 and 28, 2025. The match is scheduled to commence at 3:30 P.M IST.

Gloucestershire vs Leicestershire Chances of Winning

Gloucestershire’s performance with the bat was quite impressive in the last game versus Kent, having posted a remarkable 472-run first innings stand. Wicket-keeper batter James Bracey and Cameron Green did much of the damage as they scored 151* and 112 runs, respectively. Marchant de Lange’s 51 and Miles Hammond’s 48 were also helpful contributions and the bowlers restricted Kent to 393. Gloucestershire managed to add 333 more runs to their tally and victory looked theirs for the taking before a lack of time led to an impasse.

Leicestershire, too, appeared poised to take victory against a struggling Lancashire in the last game, having kept the latter down to 263 runs in the first innings. Leicestershire responded by surpassing the target by quite a margin as they scored 491 runs before declaring. Skipper Peter Handscomb found his feet with an outstanding knock of 142 not out while opener Rehan Ahmed scored precisely 100 runs. Lewis Hill and Sol Budinger also contributed 64 and 41 runs, respectively. During Lancashire’s second innings, they were down three wickets with just 90 runs on the board when the match ended abruptly in a draw.

Gloucestershire vs Leicestershire Betting Tips

Leicestershire to score high before first dismissal

Sol Budinger is the mainstay opener for Leicestershire, having opened all matches so far and after scoring an 18-run partnership with Ian Holland in the first innings of the first game, the latter was dropped down the order in favor of all-rounder Rehan Ahmed. Since then, the openers have added 53*, 26, 132 and 102 runs to the first wicket. They are invincible at the moment and a solid partnership is expected of the pair for the next game as well.

Gloucestershire vs Leicestershire Toss Prediction

Chasing is always more favorable at County Ground in Bristol where the toss winner of the previous game between Gloucestershire and Glamorgan chose to field first. In the 2024 season, the average first innings total of 282 was not particularly convincing. Fielding first is going to be the toss winning side’s preference in the upcoming fixture, too.

Weather Report

A light shower will cause disruptions at Bristol since there is a 25% likelihood of rainfall and the temperature is expected to go up to 16 degrees Celsius.

Gloucestershire vs Leicestershire Betting Odds

Leicestershire to have a better opening partnership than Gloucestershire

Cameron Bancroft’s return to Gloucestershire’s top order has brought a major improvement to their first wicket stands. He has opened with both Ben Charlesworth and the pair added 6, 71 and 62 runs to the first wicket in the previous two games. When Chris Dent opened in place of the former during the first game, the scores were as low as 15 and 24 runs. However, Leicestershire’s openers have been much more stable in this aspect as Rehan Ahmed and Sol Budinger have piled on opening totals of 102, 26, 132, 18 and 53* runs in the last three encounters. Naturally, the latter are anticipated to secure a more competitive first partnership than their counterparts at Gloucestershire.

He leads Gloucestershire’s run charts overall with 262 runs in five innings and an average of 87.33.

He is now the leading run-getter for Leicestershire with 288 runs in four innings. With an average of 96.00, he remains the top choice for the next game as well.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Leicestershire

Gloucestershire are not in an ideal position as they stand sixth on the table with one loss followed by two drawn matches. They are quite far behind Leicestershire who are the table toppers of the tournament with one victory and two draws. The latter were absolutely destructive in the last match which makes them the favorites to clinch victory against Gloucestershire.

• Gloucestershire to win @ 2.41 (Parimatch)
