Gloucestershire vs Middlesex Prediction & Betting Tips 2025

Kane Williamson's maiden stint with Middlesex in the Vitality T20 Blast hasn't been as impactful as hoped so far. He's scored 200 runs in 7 innings, averaging 33.33 with a strike rate of 144.92. While he's managed good starts, Williamson hasn't converted them into big scores. In the last match against Surrey, he scored 26 off 15 balls but couldn't turn it into a match-winning innings. With a top-four finish crucial for Middlesex, we're backing Kane Williamson to step up and deliver a crucial knock of 50 runs or more in this fixture.

Gloucestershire vs Middlesex Toss Prediction

In the four Vitality T20 Blast matches played at County Ground, Bristol this season the team batting first won two matches and the team chasing won two matches. Both teams haven't had much success at this venue in recent times while bowling first, therefore we predict the team that wins the toss ideally will look to bat first, given both teams have a strong bowling lineup.

Weather Report

At County Ground Bristol on Sunday, July 6th, expect a cloudy day with a slight chance of light rain. Temperatures will range from 17°C to 21°C, with humidity around 91%. A moderate wind of 16 km/h will be present.

Gloucestershire vs Middlesex Top Batter

Kane Williamson to be the Top Batter for Middlesex

Kane Williamson has had a solid tournament so far, accumulating 200 runs in 7 matches. In his last three appearances, he has posted scores of 26, 50, and 23*. Notably, he was the top scorer once and the second-highest scorer twice for his team in those matches. Williamson's recent consistency is a significant advantage for Middlesex heading into this crucial fixture against Gloucestershire, and we expect him to step up and play a match-winning innings.

D’Arcy to be the Top Batter for Gloucestershure

Gloucestershire's stylish left-handed batter, D’Arcy Short is hitting his stride in the T20 Blast! After a bit of a slow start, he's found his touch, smashing scores of 33, 49, 33, and 34 in his last four games. He's the only Gloucestershire player to get four scores over 30 in a row, which is a big boost for their batting. We reckon he'll keep this good form going and be their top scorer in this match.

Gloucestershire vs Middlesex Top Bowler

David Payne to be the Top Bowler for Gloucestershire.

David Payne, Gloucestershire's key bowler, had a good last match against Essex, taking one wicket for just 24 runs. This season, he's been their top wicket-taker, grabbing 12 wickets in 8 games. He's a crucial player for them, often bowling at the start and end of an innings, and he consistently picks up wickets. He also has a strong record against Middlesex, with 26 wickets in 16 matches, and he's been even better at his home ground, County Ground Bristol, where he's taken 107 wickets in 79 matches.

Tom Helm to be the Top Bowler for Middlesex

Tom Helm has been Middlesex's standout bowler this season, bagging 15 wickets in 8 matches at an impressive average of 18.53. While his economy rate has been a bit high at 9.42, he bowled a superb spell in the last match against Surrey, finishing with figures of 3/48. He also has a good record at County Ground, Bristol, picking up 19 wickets in 16 matches, and against Gloucestershire, he's taken 11 wickets in 10 games. Given his current form, we fancy Tom Helm to be Middlesex's top bowler in this crucial fixture.

Our Prediction
