Gloucestershire vs Essex Betting Tips
Gloucestershire to score under 18.5 runs before 1st dismissal (1.85@Parimatch)
Gloucestershire lacked in their batting order last year. The team Chris Dent opened alongside Grant Roelofsen in the competition. Dent was replaced by Miles Hammond later in the tournament. Hammond and Roelofsen averaged at 17.50 & 22.91 respectively in the previous season of the competition. The pair secured 8, 23 & 8 runs before their first dismissal in the last three games of the season. The pair did not bat well in the season and will face a challenge against the fierce Essex bowlers. That said, Gloucestershire will face an early dismissal in the next game against Essex.
Match Prediction Best Odds
Gloucestershire vs Essex Toss Prediction
Given the previous match records, the Bristol Cricket Stadium has aided the fast bowlers more than the spinners usually do. Hence the venue makes it easier to chase down the target later on in the second innings, and therefore the toss-winning captain would likely opt to bowl first.
Weather Report
The skies over Bristol would have slight cloud cover, which might assist the bowlers. The surface will be good to bat on, and the ball will come onto the bat nicely. The temperature will hover around 18 degree Celsius.

Gloucestershire vs Essex Betting Odds
Gloucestershire finished 7th in the south Group last season. Under Jack Taylor's captaincy, Gloucestershire aims to finish in the top four and reach the knockout stage of this year's T20 Blast. The team will be bolstered by local support, especially for in-form keeper-batter James Bracey and South African pace bowler Marchant de Lange. Key player David Payne, with international experience, will also be crucial for Gloucestershire's success and their hopes of a strong start. The team is all set for the first showdown of the tournament against Essex.
Essex finished fourth in the South group points table. Australian Daniel Sams was Essex's standout performer, leading both their run-scorers and wicket-takers lists. This season, he is expected to excel again, with captain and spinner Simon Harmer also contributing significantly with wickets. The Allison brothers are promising talents to watch with the bat, expected to play freely and strike cleanly. However, Essex will miss Dan Lawrence, whose attacking approach will be hard to replace. Essex will be thrilled to enter the next outing against Gloucestershire.
