Glamorgan vs Essex Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Kiran Carlson is the captain of Glamorgan, and he played an enterprising knock of 31 runs opening the innings in the previous game with three and one six. Overall, he has scored 47 runs in two outings so far at a strike rate of 142.42. Carlson is a decent batter, and with him batting more in powerplay, the batter can be backed to score 20 or more runs in this game.

Mohammad Amir is a world-class bowler but he hasn’t started the tournament on the expected note. In two matches, he has picked up only two wickets so far. Amir is an absolute gun bowler not only in the powerplay overs but also at the death. The left-arm fast bowler tends to run through the opposition batting line-up. For the same reason, he can be backed to pick up at least two more wickets in this clash.

Glamorgan vs Essex Match Toss Prediction

Glamorgan to have a better opening partnership than Essex

In two matches played so far, Essex have witnessed either of their openers getting out early. Adam Rossington got out early in their previous outing while Dean Elgar was dismissed for a duck in their season opener. On the other hand, Glamorgan openers Kiran Carlson and Williams Smale have added 22 and 58 runs for the opening wicket in two matches. The duo might struggle this time around with swing bowler Mohammad Amir bowling at least a couple of overs upfront. Hence, the duo of Elgar and Rossington are expected to have a better opening partnership than their Glamorgan counterparts in the upcoming clash.

Glamorgan vs Essex Top Batters

Ben Kellaway to be Glamorgan’s top batter

Ben Kellaway hasn’t set the stage on fire yet in the two matches he has played so far. He has so far scored only 27 runs in two matches at an average of 13.5 and a strike rate of 158.82. Ben has looked in good touch, and it is only a matter of time before he registers a good score. He can become the top batter of Glamorgan in this match.

Michael Kyle Pepper to be Essex’s top batter

Michael Kyle Pepper is the joint highest run-scorer for Essex after two matches so far. He has scored 58 runs in two innings with a half-century to his name. He has scored these runs at a strike rate of around 12,9 which shows he is an anchor and tends to bat through. This is the reason why Pepper can become the top batter for Essex in this game.

Glamorgan vs Essex Top Bowlers

Mason Crane to be Glamorgan’s top bowler

Mason Crane is one of the best bowlers in the Glamorgan lineup. He has so far picked up 4 wickets and can turn the game on its head with his spin bowling. Crane will mostly bowl in the middle overs and it will be important for him to strike multiple times. Hence, he can become the top bowler for Glamorgan in this crucial faceoff.

Simon Harmer to be Essex’s top bowler

Simon Harmer is the captain of Essex, and after twin losses at the start of the season, it is important for him to lead from the front. He has been economical so far in two matches, conceding 38 runs in 5.5 overs. However, he has managed only one wicket. Harmer is a veteran and can become the top bowler for Essex, given that things are getting desperate for his team in the ongoing season ofthe T20 Blast

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Glamorgan

Glamorgan have dominated Essex in all three matches played in MPL history so far. They are the favourites to register their fourth win over the Puneri side as well. Essex will miss their captain, Ruturaj Gaikwad, in this clash as he is in England with India ,A and his absence will be felt. While they will put up a fight, we predict Glamorgan will win this match.
