Glamorgan vs Surrey Match Analysis

Surrey leads Glamorgan 10 wins to 9 losses in their head-to-head record after 19 games played, with three of the twenty-two meetings between the two teams ending in a draw.

Many of Glamorgan’s victories occurred in the first 11 games, as the Welsh team won 8 of them and just lost 3. However, there has been a significant change in the competition between Surrey and Glamorgan in the recent blast.

Since the start of the 2017–18 season, Surrey has won seven games compared to Glamorgan’s one throughout that time. The one-run victory Glamorgan secured three seasons prior might have gone the other way, but Timm Van der Gugten’s outstanding 13-run last over preserved his team’s nerve-wracking one-run victory in Cardiff.

When Glamorgan’s men play Surrey in the T20 Blast to start the season, they will be looking to replicate their heroics at the Sophia Gardens.

Glamorgan vs Surrey Team Preview & Squads

Glamorgan

The team does contain players with international experience, like Colin Ingram, Marnus Labuschagne, and Mason Crane, but the problem is that none of them have significant T20 experience or wisdom to impart to the side’s uncapped players.

However, Colin Ingram, a former versatile batsman who was renowned for his ability to mix things up during middle overs, might have something to give his teammates. There isn’t a well-known player in the mix with a lot of competitive T20 experience, aside from the left-hander.

Glamorgan’s county season had started well for Colin Ingram, who has amassed nearly 800 runs. Captain Kiran Carlson and top-order batsman Sam Northeast have also performed admirably in the red ball format.

We will have to wait and see if they can translate that form into the shortest format. Following the departure of Pakistani left-arm seamer Mir Hamza, bowling stocks appear to be somewhat depleted. Part-timers like Colin Ingram or Marnus Labuschagne will roll over their arm to make up the required number of overs, but Mason Crane, Tim Van der Gugten, James Harris, and Andy Gorvin will be an important part of the attack.

Glamorgan Squads

Glamorgan

Kiran Carlson (c), Chris Cooke (wk), Marnus Labuschagne, Colin Ingram, Andy Gorvin, Timm Van Der Gugten, Tom Bevan, Sam Northeast, Mason Crane, Edward Byrom, Jamie McIlroy.

Surrey

The heart of the batting group consists of well-known figures such as former English opener Jason Roy, current vice-captain of the English test team Ollie Pope, T20 specialist Laurie Evans, and new hitting wonder Dan Lawrence. They have Sean Abbott and Tom Curran, two reliable all-round players of international caliber.

In terms of bowling, Cameron Steel may be used as the only spinner in the attack, with Englishman Gus Atkinson, Australians Spencer Johnson, and Daniel Worrall leading the pace attack. Overall, their squad balance, bowling and batting group depth, and overall form seem excellent this season, therefore it won’t be shocking if they advance far in the competition.

Glamorgan vs Surrey outfield report

Sophia Gardens, Cardiff

Don’t be shocked if the team that wins the coin toss chooses to bat first because they won five of the seven games played at this location last year. There is no significant risk of rain, therefore the weather is ideal for a thrilling Twenty20 match.

Cardiff’s batting pitches were quite good last season, with three teams scoring 200 or more and four scoring 180 or more. If the surface lives up to expectations, this might be another high-scoring match.
