GLO Team News
Gloucestershire are placed fifth on the South Group points table after four wins and three defeats in eight games. Gloucestershire have picked great form recently and are currently on a three match winning streak that revived their campaign.
GLO Team Batting
Miles Hammond, Jack Taylor and Cameron Bancroft are batters we feel can do well. Hammond has been a consistent performer for the side this season, scoring 233 runs. He scored 80 runs against Kent not so long ago. Cameron Bancroft has also scored over 200 runs. He has been inconsistent but is just too good a player to ignore. Similarly, Jack Taylor has also shown good form in recent times and scored 70 against Glamorgan recently.
GLO Team Bowling
Matt Taylor, David Payne and Josh Shaw are the top three bowlers for Gloucestershire. Taylor tops the charts of most wickets with 16 scalps while Payne has taken 13 wickets. Shaw has taken eight wickets in five games.

Kent Team News & Playing 11
KET Team News
Kent has had a disastrous campaign. They have played eight games and suffered defeats in six of those. The team is yet to register a win the previous five matches. Kent needs to return to winning ways now if they are to have any hopes of reviving their campaign.
KET Team Batting
D-Bell Drummond, Sam Billings and Zak Crawley are expected to do well. The team has its back against the wall and the onus is on senior players to get them out of trouble. Billings has performed well, scoring 300 runs, including a hundred and fifty. Drummond had also scored 200 runs but needs to be a bit more consistent. Zak Crawley has been horrible out of touch but we feel that a big innings is due soon for the England star.
KET Team Bowling
Xavier Bertlett, Matthew Parkingson and Joe Denly are most likely wicket-takers for the team. The bowling has been poor from Kent but Parkinson and Bartlett have done well, taking 11 and 9 wickets. Denly can also create problems on a good day.
KET Team Form
Kent have been poor with the bat as well as the ball throughout the tournament, losing six out of eight games.
Kent Predicted Playing 11
Zak Crawley, Daniel Bell-Drummond, Marcus ORiordan, Sam Billings (c & wk), Harry Finch, Joey Evison, Tawanda Muyeye, Beyers Swanepoel, Xavier Bartlett, Nathan Gilchrist, Matthew Parkinson
🏆 Gloucestershire vs Kent Prediction
Gloucestershire is a team that is in very good form. They have won four games on the trot and most of the players have decent form behind. Meanwhile, Kent have lost their last five games and barring Sam Billings, others have been ordinary. Back Gloucestershire to win.
