Warwickshire vs Gloucestershire Prediction & Betting Tips 2023
Even though Warwickshire won the opening game, there were a lot of question marks especially in the batting department as they only managed to score 233 in the game. One of the key differences between the two team has been the controlled explosiveness that Gloucestershire has showcased in first two games resulting in them bagging 13 sixes in first two games which has been missing in Warwickshire’s locker in the first game as they only managed to score two sixes in the game. We believe Gloucestershire would score more sixes than Warwickshire in the game.
Warwickshire vs Gloucestershire Match Toss Prediction
This is the first game at the venue. Last year, all of the four games were won by team batting first which could have a significant impact on the upcoming game. We believe both teams would prefer to bat first on this wicket.

Warwickshire vs Gloucestershire Betting Odds
Gloucestershire to score more runs in powerplay than Warwickshire
One of the positives about Gloucestershire this season has been their efficiency and effective approach in powerplay. In two games thus far they have managed to score 67 and 48 in first ten overs but the key fact over here is they have conceded just 66 and 30 in those games which makes this bet even more enticing is the fact in both games they have managed to overpower their opponents in the powerplay. Even though Warwickshire managed to out score their opponent in the first 10 overs but they only managed to score 40 runs in powerplay. We believe this is a great opportunity to make some quick financial gains in the upcoming fixture
Warwickshire vs Gloucestershire Top Team Batters
Will Rhodes to be Warwickshire’s top batter
After a solid campaign last term, Will Rhodes has showcased his form in the opening day victory against Somerset. Even though he could not capitalise on the start he still showed enough in his innings of 38 off 41 balls which makes us believe he would have a great game and is our top pick for the upcoming fixture.
Oliver Price to be Gloucestershire’s top batter
Oliver Price is the reason for Gloucestershire’s great start to the season. His century in the opening game against Derbyshire seals maximum points for his side which was followed by a steady 23 off 37 balls before he was run out in the last game. We believe Price would come good against Warwickshire and is our top pick for the game.
Warwickshire vs Gloucestershire Top Team Bowlers
Oliver Hannon -Dalby to be Warwickshire’s top bowler
Oliver Hannon Dalby was the top wicket taker for Warwickshire last year and in the opening game ended up with 2/39 in ten overs as Somerset were restricted to 230 runs. We believe Dalby would have a great game and is our top pick for the game.
Paul Van Meekeren to be Gloucestershire’s top bowler
Paul Van Meekeren was one of the bright spots for Gloucestershire last year who has continued his form in the opening fixtures this term. Meekeren ended up with 4/66 in the opening fixture and even though he could not reignite the spark in the last game we would still go ahead and pick him as our top pick for the game.
Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Warwickshire
After missing the playoffs last year, Warwickshire have had a good start to the campaign as they beat Somerset in the season opener. Somerset were bowled out for 230 inside 47 overs, Ed Barnard’s career best score of 94 guided Warwickshire to a four wicket victory as they chased down the target with 6.2 overs to spare.
After missing the playoffs last season, Gloucestershire have had a great start to the season as they have bagged maximum points in the first two games. In the last game, Gloucestershire managed to defend a par score of 278 as Northamptonshire were bowled out for 255 as Gloucestershire won the game by 23 runs.
Considering both sides are unbeaten in the competition something has to give and the Bookmakers they have sided with Warwickshire on this one even though Gloucestershire have won three of the last five games against Warwickshire in One Day Cup. We believe this is a tough game to call and it would make sense to side with the bookmakers on this one as it's a game that could go to the wire and could swing either way.
- Warwickshire to win @ 1.78 (PariMatch)
- Gloucestershire to win @ 1.97 (PariMatch)
