Essex vs Gloucestershire Chances of Winning

Essex made a rocky start to their campaign but turned their form on its head with a three-match winning streak as they come into this game. Batting first, the Chelmsford-based side posted a whopping 371-run total with skipper Tom Westley and Charlie Allison as centurions, having scored 141 and 131 runs, respectively. Simon Harmer in the lower order also made a valuable contribution of 42 runs and the team had a solid score to defend. During Glamorgan’s chase, the bowlers managed to keep the opposition down to 181 runs which allowed Essex to bag a commanding victory by a margin of 190 runs.

Gloucestershire are in a league of their own, though, considering they have six back-to-back victories in the tournament. Their previous match was against Nottinghamshire where the former scored 343 runs - opener and wicket-keeper batter James Bracey top-scored with a huge 182-run total while fellow opener Cameron Bancroft was next in line with 46 runs. The bowlers did not disappoint as they bundled out their rivals for 291, taking home a solid 52-run triumph.

Essex vs Gloucestershire Betting Tips

Gloucestershire to score high before first dismissal

James Bracey and Cameron Bancroft have been a powerful opening pair for Gloucestershire this season and their consistency is remarkable. In the five fixtures leading up to this match, the duo added 121, 17, 43, 105 and 46 runs to the first wicket. Barring one subpar stand together, they are undoubtedly one of the most formidable first partnerships in the tournament so far which puts them in an advantageous position for the next game as well.

Essex vs Gloucestershire Betting Odds

Gloucestershire to have a better opening partnership than Essex @ 1.62 (Parimatch)

Robin Das and Matt Critchley opened the last three games for Essex but their scores are substandard to say the least considering they posted totals of 25, 18 and 4 runs. Their counterparts at Gloucestershire, on the other hand, are in a different league as James Bracey and Cameron Bancroft have secured opening stands of 121, 17 and 43 runs in the previous three encounters. The latter are in much better form and have proven time and again that they are an explosive duo which makes them the favorite first partnership in the upcoming match, too.
