HAM vs GLO Match Prediction & Analysis
Hampshire Hawks are back to their home venue as they look to bounce back and return to winning ways. They’ve won 1 and lost 2 matches here this season. As they gear up to face Gloucestershire, skipper James Vince will expect his batters to find their rhythm and make the most of the home advantage.
The visiting team hasn’t been in good touch since the league resumed after the break. This will be the second time Hawks and Gloucestershire meet.
Gloucestershire were bowled out for 124 runs batting first in their previous encounter in Bristol. Michael Neser, Chris Wood, and Josh Turner were among the top bowlers for the Hawks in that win.
The batters struggled then and they continue to struggle now. James Vince and Joe Weatherly are the key batters on whose shoulders almost all scoring responsibility lies.
Gloucestershire have a strong middle order featuring James Bracey, Beau Webster, and skipper Jack Taylor. They chased down a 195-run target in their recent outing against Somerset without a single player scoring a fifty.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Hampshire Preview
Ben McDermott has been a star player for his BBL franchise. His poor run of form in the T20 Blast hurts the Hampshire Hawks. And while skipper James Vince played a few good knocks at the top, he must be under pressure.
Vince is one of the two batsmen who have delivered for the Hawks lately. Fletcha Middleton and Tom Prest have both failed at number 3. And it all comes down to Joe Weatherly to lead the batting efforts in the middle order.
There is some hope for the Hawks in the lower middle order. Toby Albert and Benny Howell played some handy knocks in the last match while chasing 201 runs against Sussex.
They also have James Fuller at number 7 who can play a good hand and score some quick runs. Recently, playing against Essex, Fuller was unbeaten on 39 off 16 balls as Hampshire finished with 166 for 7 batting first.
The skipper should be backing his bowlers in this match to repeat their previous performance against Gloucestershire. James Fuller is also crucial with the ball and has found success lately.
Chris Wood, Josh Turner, and Brad Wheal are other key bowlers to watch out for. There are many experienced match-winning bowlers in this side but only a few have looked in good shape in recent matches.
Hampshire Predicted Playing XI:
James Vince (c), Ben McDermott (wk), Tom Prest, Joe Weatherley, Toby Albert, Benny Howell, James Fuller, Liam Dawson, Chris Wood, Brad Wheal, John Turner

Gloucestershire Preview
After successfully chasing a 195-run target against Sussex, Jack Taylor and co. were bowled out for 152 runs in the next game. Gloucestershire have a lot to reflect on after their recent loss to Middlesex.
It is not just the failure to chase 182 runs but also the fact that their bowlers let the opposition bounce back into the game. David Payne, Matt Taylor, and Josh Shaw were right on the money as they started delivering early breakthroughs after Gloucestershire opted to bowl.
They reduced Middlesex to 32 for 4 in the 5th Over and conceded just 39 runs in the powerplay. Gloucestershire were on top of the game at this point. However, the opposition built a 101-run stand for the 5th wicket.
And even after some quick wickets got Middlesex to 7 down for 138, they couldn’t finish things off and ended up with 182 runs to chase. Merchant de Lange, Beau Webster, and Olive Price are other bowling options in this squad.
Though they failed to capitalize on early wickets, we believe they’ve got the bowling strength and form to trouble the hosts in this match. They also have plenty of firepower in the batting order, especially in the middle and lower middle order.
Gloucestershire Predicted Playing XI:
Miles Hammond, Cameron Bancroft, James Bracey (wk), Beau Webster, Jack Taylor (c), Ben Charlesworth, Oliver Price, Marchant de Lange, David Payne, Josh Shaw, MD Taylor

Spin Bowling
The Rose Bowl in Southampton will be the venue for this match. It is home to the Hampshire Hawks and is one of the iconic cricket venues in England that has hosted many international games too. The average 1st innings score on this ground is 162 runs. That will not be enough in this match. A match-winning score should be around 190-200 runs at this venue.
Toss: To Bowl
Teams prefer to bowl first on this ground as we’ve seen through the ages and this season. It is one of the high-scoring venues that favors the batters and allows for big run-chases. Both teams have depth in their batting lineups and should back themselves to chase down a total.
HAM vs GLO
Winning Prediction
It looks like an even contest between these two teams. They’ve both got consistency issues to deal with. There is enough firepower in both batting lineups along with depth. However, going by the current form, we reckon, Gloucestershire will have a slight edge going into this match. Gloucestershire start as favorites in our match prediction.
