Gloucestershire vs Surrey Chance of Winning
It's been a disappointing start for Gloucestershire in the tournament, with only one win out of their first four matches. In their previous match, Gloucestershire suffered a three-wicket defeat at the hands of Essex. Having set Essex a target of 195/7 while batting first, Gloucestershire couldn't defend it as their opponents successfully chased down the total in just 19.1 overs. In an impressive display of power hitting, Robin Das smashed 11 fours on his way to a rapid 33-ball 69 to help Essex gun down the target with relative ease. While Essex celebrated getting their season off to a great start, Gloucestershire's woes continued as they lost their third match in a row while attempting to defend a target in the tournament. With one victory and three defeats in four matches, Gloucestershire is currently positioned in 7th spot on the points table in the South Group.
Surrey are off a dominating start to the tournament winning three of the four matches that they have played so far. In their previous match, Surrey won the match by six-wickets against Hampshire. Bowling first Surrey restricted Hampshire to a mere 156/4 and followed that bowling performance with a similar one with the bat as they chased down the target in with more than an over to spare. Will Jacks scored a blazing knock of 83 runs in just 57 balls and a 22 ball 30 cameo from Jamie Smith powered Surrey to a comfortable victory. Following their victory against Hampshire, Surrey climbed to the 2nd position on the points table in the South Group and have put themselves in a great position to make the knockouts.
Surrey has maintained an unbeaten record against Gloucestershire in their last three T20 Blast encounters, indicating a high probability of them emerging victorious in the upcoming match.
- Gloucestershire Chance of Winning: 32%
- Surrey Chance of Winning: 68%
Gloucestershire vs Surrey Betting Tips
Will Jacks has been in sensational form, amassing a remarkable 156 runs in four innings including his 83 against Hampshire in his previous match. Given his outstanding form, we predict Jacks to score more than 39.5 runs and with Parimatch offering odds of 1.83, it could potentially be a great return. On the other hand, Chris Dent has scored 99 runs in four innings, displaying his power-hitting abilities. Despite having to face Surrey's formidable bowling attack, Dent is expected to score over 22.5 runs - a punt you can make on Parimatch with odds of 1.86.

Our Prediction
Favorites to win: Surrey
Surrey is heavily favoured to win the match against Gloucestershire due to their formidable form and a well-rounded team. Surrey boasts an in-form batting unit and a lethal bowling attack, providing them with depth and balance in both departments and that is not counting the world-class all-rounders in their lineup. On the other hand, Gloucestershire's major concern lies in their bowling, which could potentially weaken their chances against Surrey's powerful batting lineup. Overall, Surrey's superior form, combined with their strong batting and bowling units, makes them the clear favourites to win the match against Gloucestershire. We predict Surrey to dominate and emerge victorious against Gloucestershire.
