Gloucestershire vs Lancashire Betting Odds

Gloucestershire to score over 28.5 runs before 1st dismissal ( 1.85 @ Parimatch )

Gloucestershire had experimented several times with their opening pair until they arrived at the best option.

They produced some promising performances, especially after James Bracey did exceptionally well in the starting order. However, Chris Dent faced cheap dismissals in the past few games. In the last three games, Dent scored 8 runs altogether and lost his wicket the earliest in GLO’s innings.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Lancashire

Gloucestershire have won the championship once in the 2016 and will be thrilled to repeat it in the current season. GLO posted their fourth win in a row when they defeated Durham by 7 wickets in their previous outing. In the game, GLO conceded 267 runs in the game. Anwar Ali picked 3 wickets where van Meekeren managed 2 wickets on his own. Chasing the target was not a big task for GLO who conquered the target with 13.3 overs to spare. James Bracey scored 53 runs in the game whereas Oliver Price remained unbeaten at 85. But Ben Wells stole the limelight with an unbeaten score of 108 off 76 balls in the game.

On the other hand, Lancashire met Nottinghamshire in their last outing. They bowled out NOT at 185 with their spectacular bowling performance. Will Williams reaped the most number of wickets, 3, and leaked only 32 runs in his spell. It was an easy chase for LAN but it was Keaton Jennings who dragged the team through the victory line with an unbeaten score of 103 runs.

Lancashire won the last five contests against Gloucestershire in the format. However, things might change this season as Gloucestershire are displaying exceptional form in the batting and the bowling departments. They have a diverse range of batting options who performed consistently in their campaign. Bracey, Oliver Price and Jack Taylor have shaped up an impenetrable batting order. They have been efficient at scoring big as well as chasing the targets. This makes GLO the clear winners out of the two.

Lancashire to win @ 2.04 (Parimatch)
