Gloucestershire vs Somerset Betting Tips

Jack Taylor currently holds the top position in Gloucestershire's run tally, having gathered an impressive 234 runs across four matches.

Following suit, Oliver Price secures the second-highest run total for Gloucestershire, amassing 148 runs in four matches, which includes one half-century. Graeme van Buuren follows closely with 120 runs garnered from three matches.

Despite Somerset's somewhat lacklustre overall performances, their batting lineup has displayed commendable prowess. Particularly, Andrew Umeed stands as their premier run-getter with 234 runs in four matches. Remarkably, four other Somerset batsmen have already surpassed the 100-run mark: Lewis Goldsworthy, Curtis Campher, Sean Dickson, and James Rew, with individual scores of 172, 161, 144, and 126 runs respectively.

Gloucestershire vs Somerset Toss Prediction

The game is scheduled to occur at Bristol County Ground, the home turf of Gloucestershire. In 50-over matches held here, teams batting second generally enjoy an advantageous position. The average score for the first innings is around 241. The most recent One Day Cup match at this location took place in 2022, featuring Gloucestershire against Leicestershire. The latter emerged victorious by choosing to field after winning the coin toss. Considering this pattern, it's quite probable that teams winning the toss will opt to field first in the upcoming match.

Weather Report

Regrettably, cricket enthusiasts might face disappointment as the weather forecast paints a sombre picture for the match day, with the likelihood of scattered showers. The chances of precipitation stand at 70%, and the temperature is anticipated to hover around 21 degrees Celsius.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Gloucestershire

Presently positioned in fifth place within Group B standings, Gloucestershire boasts a record of two wins and two losses. Their initial two outings resulted in convincing victories against Derbyshire and Northamptonshire, marked by substantial margins. However, they are currently grappling with a two-match losing streak.

Interestingly, Gloucestershire's performance outshone Somerset even in the 2022 season, securing a fifth-place finish compared to Somerset's position in the second-to-last spot. Despite reigning as champions in the T20 Vitality Blast tournament, Somerset is grappling to replicate the same prowess in this competition. With just one victory in four matches, secured against Worcestershire in their second fixture, they once again find themselves in the penultimate position.

Given Gloucestershire's current momentum and evident strength, they seem well-poised to overcome Somerset in the upcoming fixture.
