Leicestershire vs Gloucestershire Betting Tips

For Leicestershire, Soloman Budinger's consistent form is crucial, alongside Rishi Patel's start, for the team. Peter Handscomb's recent good performance and partnerships with Lewis Hill and Wiaan Mulder in the middle order are important. Chris Wright and in-form Wiaan Mulder are expected to deliver tight spells with the new ball.

Miles Hammond's recent century boosts his performance, joining James Bracey at the top for Gloucestershire. A robust middle order, including Oliver Price, Harry Tector, and Graeme van Buuren, is anticipated to perform well. The bowlers' confidence after their strong display is an advantage, with David Payne and Tom Price aiming for tight spells with the new ball.

Leicestershire vs Gloucestershire Toss Prediction

This venue has witnessed low-scoring matches this year due to a challenging wicket. Bowlers have capitalised on the early innings conditions, while batting hasn't been straightforward. Recent game trends will guide both teams, and the toss-winning side is likely to choose to bowl first.

Weather Report

Leicester will be cloudy on the match day. The pitch is tough to bat on early, so batsmen need to be careful. Bowlers will like this pitch. If a team bats first and scores around 300 runs, they should be in a good position.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win: Gloucestershire

Leicestershire has enjoyed phenomenal success this year. They lost only once, and key players in the team are in good form. LEI played against YOR in their last outing. It was a low scoring game, courtesy of LEI’s bowling order. LEI restricted YOR to 184 and did not let them settle through the game. Chris Wright and Matt Salisbury picked 3 wickets each in the game. LEI finished the game in the 43rd over by successfully chasing the target with 6 wickets remaining. Peter Handscomb scored 60 runs whereas Wiaan Mulder stayed unbeaten with 51 runs to his name.

Gloucestershire will be looking to repeat their 2016 season when they won the championship. This season, they had to repeatedly push through many games to finish second in their group table. They made it to the quarter finals and faced Lancashire in the fixture. Their bowling was pretty strong that restricted LAN to 177 in the game. Except for Tom Smith, every other bowler exploited the opportunity to pick wickets. Gloucestershire chased the target successfully with the help of an unbeaten innings of 109 runs from the bat of Miles Hammond. They won the match by 8 wickets.

Leicestershire's top spot finish in the group stage boosts their confidence for the match. Inconsistent Gloucestershire bowlers face concern in this crucial match against a strong batting lineup. Leicestershire's home advantage and strong tournament record make them the favourite team to win.
