Gloucestershire vs Northamptonshire Chance of Winning

Gloucestershire are coming off a 6 wicket win over Derbyshire in their One-Day Cup opener. Batting first, Derbyshire restricted Gloucestershire to 289 runs at the loss of 9. Pakistani batter Haider Ali topped the scoring for Derbyshire with 82. Also, Opener Luis Reece scored a fifty. Paul van Meekeren and Zaman Akhter picked up 4 & 3 wickets respectively. In response to that, in-form Ollie Price registered his first List A hundred and guided Gloucestershire to a comfortable 6 wicket victory at Cheltenham Festival. Price scored an unbeaten 116 and shared in stands of 142 with debutant Harry Tector and 108 with Jack Taylor for the third and fifth wickets. Gloucestershire chased down the target of 299 runs inside 43.2 overs. As it stands, they sit at the top of the Group B table with 2 points and a net run rate of about +0.940.

Northamptonshire had a disastrous campaign last time around. They finished second last in Group B, picking up only two wins and six defeats in eight outings. Northamptonshire suffered four defeats in their last five One-Day games. Infact, in the 2023 season of the Vitality T20 Blast, Northamptonshire managed to pick up only six wins and suffered eight losses in 14 outings. They came 6th in their group and hence failed to qualify for the knockouts.

Gloucestershire vs Northamptonshire Betting Odds

Emilio Gay to score over 26.5 runs @ 1.87 odds

Emilio Gay, 23, hailing from Bedford emerged as Gloucestershire’s 3rd highest run-scorer last season. The Englishman hammered 332 runs in only 8 matches at an average of 41.50, which ranks above our target of 26.5 runs, thus making it a safe and a reliable betting tip for this game. Gay averages a 40.07 in the format and has been excellent for his side in the County Championship as well. He scored 392 runs in 6 matches at an average of 32.66, favouring our tip. Based on his recent performance, we predict Emilio Gay to score over 26.5 runs against Gloucestershire.

Gloucestershire vs Northamptonshire Top Batters

Oliver Price to be the top batter for Gloucestershire

Oliver Price, 22, played an exceptional 116 run knock in the last game. His 115 ball innings was laced with 13 boundaries. He is having a sensational season in the ongoing season of the County Championship as well, scoring 556 runs at an average of 46.33 in 8 matches. Oliver Price has been in fantastic touch recently and hence we predict Price to be the top batter for Gloucestershire against Northamptonshire.

Ricardo Vasconcelos to be the top batter for Northamptonshire

The 25-year-old batsman hailing from Johannesburg hammered 334 runs last season in the Royal London One Day Cup. He averaged close to 41.75 last season. Also, in the ongoing season of the County Championship, the batter scored 389 runs in 10 games. Therefore, we predict Ricardo Vasconcelos to be the top batter for Northamptonshire.

Gloucestershire vs Northamptonshire Top Bowlers

Paul van Meekeren to be the top bowler for Gloucestershire

Hailing from the Netherlands, the 30-year-old pacer Paul van Meekeren picked up 4 wickets in his last game. He conceded 66 runs in his ten over spell. Last season, the Dutch pacer managed to collect as many as 13 wickets. His current form suggests that he will be the top bowler for Gloucestershire in the next game.

Ben Sanderson to be the top bowler for Northamptonshire

Ben Sanderson, 34, picked up only four wickets last season in the Royal London One Day Cup in as many games. However, the right-arm-medium fast pacer picked up 14 wickets in only 9 games at the 2023 season of the Vitality T20 Blast. Sanderson has been lethal with the ball recently and hence we expect him to be the top bowler for Northamptonshire in the next game.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Gloucestershire

Gloucestershire are our favourites to win the match against Northamptonshire. They are on a three match winning streak and are joining this fixture on the back of a 6 wicket win over Derbyshire in their One Day Cup opener. Northamptonshire, on the other hand, registered only a single win in their last five games. Based on the recent form and performance of both the teams we predict Kent to emerge victorious against Middlesex.

• Gloucestershire to win the match @ 2.17
• Northamptonshire to win the match @ 1.60
