Gloucestershire vs Hampshire Hawks Team Preview

Gloucestershire

In this encounter on Tuesday night, the hosts will be attempting to avoid their fourth straight loss in the tournament. On Sunday, Glamorgan defeated Gloucestershire by 32 runs at Cardiff, defeating them once more. As a result, Gloucestershire dropped to 7th place in the South Group.

In the first innings of the match against Glamorgan, Grant Roelofsen scored 33 runs off just 24 balls, ending the current hot streak of skipper Miles Hammond, who only scored 9 runs off 11 balls. Also in excellent form, left-arm fast bowler Matt Taylor added two more dismissals to his total on Sunday.

Hampshire Hawks

The Hampshire Hawks crushed Surrey by 9 wickets with 34 balls left at The Oval on Sunday afternoon. It was a fantastic performance and outcome. The Hawks are in fourth place in the South Group, two points behind the three clubs in front of them.

The victory over Surrey was not just impressively decisive; it also marked Hampshire Hawks’ first win following two losses in a row. Only Dawid Malan is ahead of Captain Vince in the list of competition run scorers with 476 runs hit. Despite the fact that the batsmen improved against Surrey in the second innings, the victory was made possible by outstanding bowling from Chris Wood, John Turner, and Nathan Ellis, who each took three wickets.
