GLO Team News
After three games of the season, Gloucestershire have won one and lost two with one of those defeats coming against Sussex Sharks at the end of last month. This game gives the hosts the chance for revenge and the opportunity to move up the table from seventh.
GLO Team Batting
None of Gloucestershire’s batters made it to 30 in the last game and only four made it to double-figures and they could really do with one of their top order making at least a half-century. They have a strong top four in Miles Hammond, Cameron Bancroft, James Bracey and Beau Webster.
GLO Team Bowling
Ajeet Singh Dale and Marchant de Lange both come into this match after picking up a wicket each in the last game against Hampshire Hawks. Defending a target of 125 was never going to be easy but David Payne gave it a good go dismissing all of the top three. Payne will be a key player with the ball again in this fixture.
GLO Team Form
Gloucestershire began the season with a win but are now hoping to avoid a third successive defeat.
Gloucestershire Predicted Playing 11
Miles Hammond, Cameron Bancroft, James Bracey (wk), Beau Webster, Ben Charlesworth, Jack Taylor (c), Graeme van Buuren, Marchant de Lange, Matt Taylor, David Payne, Ajeet Singh Dale
