Yorkshire vs Gloucestershire Match Prediction
First class
Headingley
Derbyshire finished 5th in the County Championship Division Two in the 2022 season. Yorkshire were relegated to Division Two after a horrid run in the 2022 season. They won only one of their 14 matches and finished ninth in the 10-team Division One.
Facts
- Yorkshire have won one of their six matches so far, while Gloucestershire are yet to win a match after seven attempts.
- Dawid Malan has scored 402 runs for Yorkshire and is the leading run-scorer for his team.
- Gloucestershire's highest run-scorer Marcus Harris will not be available for the match due to Ashes 2023 commitment.
Yorkshire vs Gloucestershire Chance of Winning
Yorkshire are the more likely team to beat Gloucestershire in their upcoming match. Yorkshire are a confident bunch after winning their first match of the season by beating Derbyshire by three wickets in their last encounter.
Gloucestershire batting unit will be under tremendous pressure in the absence of Marcus Harris, their leading run-scorer. The side were bundled out for 202 runs in their last innings as they lost the match by five wickets. No batter apart from Harris has scored over 300 runs with an average over 32. This is a big concern. In fact, Miles Hammond is the only other batter who has scored over 300 runs for Gloucestershire. The bowling unit of the team also isn't impressive.
The look of the Yorkshire batting unit is also not pretty. Jonny Bairstow and Shai Hope are already unavailable and Yorikshire would be hoping for Shan Masood to play at least one match before leaving to play for Pakistan in their upcoming Test series against Sri Lanka. The onus will also be on Dawid Malan and Adam Lyth who are in red hot form in the T20 Blast 2023.
The bowling group of Yorkshire is expected to keep them ahead in the match. They unit has Ben Coad (16), Matthew Fisher (19), Jordon Thompson (18), George Hill (11) and a world-class spinner in Dom Bess (12).
Yorkshire chances of winning - 71%
Derbyshire chances of winning - 29%
Yorkshire vs Gloucestershire Tournament Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Senior Yorkshire batter Dawid Malan has scored 402 runs in five matches at an average of 40.20 in the ongoing season. With the likes of Shai Hope and Jonny Bairstow not available and Shan Masood is also set to leave for Pakistan's Test series against Sri Lanka, Malan will have a big role to play for Yorkshire.
Gloucestershire's highest run-scorer Marcus Harris is not available due to his Ashes 2023 commitments and it will be important for other batters to chip in. Harris is only one of the two batters who have scored over 300 runs for Gloucestershire in the ongoing season. In case the batting unit does not buck up, the team will face a lot of problems.

Yorkshire vs Gloucestershire Betting Odds
Yorkshire opening par to score over 22.5 runs
Adam Lyth opened alongside Finlay Bean during Yorkshire's last match against Derbyshire in the County Championship 2023. The duo partnered for 61 runs in the first innings and 38 runs in the second innings. The team registered a three-wicket win and is expected to go with the same combination in the next match as well. Earlier, captain Shan Masood opened alongside Lyth. The fact that Gloucestershire don't boast of a very impressive bowling attack is also going to help Yorkshire openers to score over 22 runs. In their second last match Lyth and Masood partnered for zero and two runs only but they were up against a world-class Durham bowling unit. In the two innings prior to it, Yorkshire openers partnered for 99 and 21 runs. Lyth is in fine form in the ongoing T20 Blast 2023 and he might take Yorkshire over 22 runs without losing any wicket within no time.
Yorkshire vs Gloucestershire Top Team Batsmen
Adam Lyth to be Yorkshire's top batter
The opener is the second-highest run-scorer for his team in the County Championship 2023. In the five matches he has played, Lyth has scored 383 runs in five matches at an average of 42.55. A hundred and a fifty has come off his bat. The 35-year-old has featured in 214 first-class matches and scored 12886 runs at an average of 37.56.
Graeme van Buuren to be Gloucestershire's top batter
Graeme van Buuren can emerge as the leading run-scorer for Gloucestershire. He has played a total of 113 first-class matches and scored 7084 runs at an average of 33.15. He has hit 13 hundreds and 36 fifties in the format. In the ongoing season Buuren has scored 245 runs in five matches at an average of 40.83.
Yorkshire vs Gloucestershire top bowlers
Jordan Thompson to be Yorkshire's top bowler
Jordan Thompson can emerge as the leading wicket-taker for his side in the upcoming match against Gloucestershire. In the five matches Thompson has featured in so far, he has picked 18 wickets at an average of 29.55. In his last outing against Derbyshire, he picked two wickets across the two innings. Overall, Thompson has played 39 first-class matches and scored 126 runs at an average of 26.11.

In the second last match against Derbyshire, Price picked three wickets across two innings. However, he failed to take any wicket in his last outing against Leicestershire. He would be aiming to make a comeback. Overall, he has featured in 20 first-class matches and picked 63 wickets at an average of 24.25.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Yorkshire
The absence of Marcus Harris in Gloucestershire batting line-up has left the side vulnerable and their collapse in the second innings of their last match confirms that. The bowling unit also does not have much of a spark.
Yorkshire, who are high on confidence, after registering their first win of the season in their last outing, would look to take the maximum advantage of Gloucestershire's weaknesses. The batting group of Adam Lyth, Dawid Malan and Shan Masood combined with a very potent bowling unit look set to beat Gloucestershire.
Yorkshire to win - 1.41 (Parimatch)
Derbyshire to win - 2.78 (Parimatch)
