Gloucestershire vs Sussex Chances of Winning
Gloucestershire won for the second time this season as they went up against Middlesex in the previous outing. Middlesex made a brilliant start with 377 runs on the board and looked insurmountable, and Gloucestershire found it rather hard to get past the target as they scored 309 and declared the total. Zafar Gohar and Oliver Price were the ones who anchored the innings for the team with their individual scores of 86 and 76, respectively. Although Middlesex had the opportunity to build a massive gap and thwart Gloucestershire’s hopes of winning, they were only able to add 165 runs to the original score. In a thrilling final innings chase, the Bristol-based team went all out as the visitors and piled on 236 runs to surpass the target and take victory by four wickets.
Unsurprisingly, Sussex took home yet another victory in their last match against Glamorgan where the latter batted first and found themselves bowled out for a mere 186 runs. Right off the bat, this was a massive blunder against the table toppers who have been invincible all season. Sussex got their cue to do what they do best and make it impossible for the opposition to stay in contention for the win; they went absolutely ham against Glamorgan’s bowling and scored 491 runs. John Simpson, Tom Clark, Daniel Hughes, Henry Crocombe and Tom Haines are to be thanked for this display as they amassed 117, 112*, 83, 54 and 48 runs, respectively. Glamorgan had too much on their plate and Sussex’s bowling attack was far too powerful to get past, leading the former to get dismissed for 218. They suffered defeat by an innings and 87 runs.

Gloucestershire vs Sussex Betting Tips
Sussex to score high before first dismissal
Sussex’s first wicket stands have been on a steady incline in the previous five encounters, largely owing to the arrival of Daniel Hughes to open along with Tom Haines. Together, they have set up partnerships of 110, 196, 5, 27, 29, 19, 18, 50 runs. Although there were slight dips along the way, they have managed to forge a stellar partnership and will be expected to perform just as well in the upcoming fixture.

Gloucestershire vs Sussex Betting Odds
Sussex to have a better opening partnership than Gloucestershire
Cameron Bancroft and Ben Charlesworth’s partnership has dwindled a lot and even though they have regularly opened together for Gloucestershire since the start of the season, there is a noticeable lack of consistency. In the last three games, the pair have added 26, 0, 8 and 68 runs to the first wicket, making it clear that their partnership is hardly sustainable. Tom Haines and Daniel Hughes have taken Sussex’s opening wicket to new heights with their totals of 110, 196, 5 and 27 in the last three fixtures, making them the better opening duo in the next game.

Although he was out on a two-ball duck in the first innings, the wicket-keeper batter went on to score 56 runs in the second innings. With 1029 runs in 18 innings and an average of 68.60, he is anticipated to outperform the other batters in the next match.

Overall, he has 360 runs in six innings, including a century and two half-centuries, and an average of 56.66 which makes him the top contender for the next game, too.
Gloucestershire vs Sussex Best Bowlers
Archie Bailey to be Gloucestershire’s Best Bowler
Archie Bailey took part in his first match of the season in the previous outing against Middlesex. Even though his first spell of 15 overs did not yield any wickets, he turned it way up in the following innings to take four wickets in his six-over spell. He is averaging at 25.00 and will remain the top choice for the upcoming fixture.
Jack Carson to be Sussex’s Best Bowler
Jack Carson has a hefty lead in Sussex’s bowling department with 45 wickets in 19 innings and an average of 22.77. In the last encounter versus Glamorgan, he took a single wicket in the first innings and went on to add three more to the tally in the second innings.
