Yorkshire will be keen on making a comeback with the bat as they take on Gloucestershire at the York Cricket Club in York. Their two wins in the one-day cup so far came while defending 261 runs and 240 runs.
However, when the one time they won the toss, they opted to bowl first and bowled Notts out for 209 runs. They should have won the game from here 9 out of 10 times. Yorkshire lost that match by 83 runs.
Gloucestershire also bounced back with the bat in their last outing after they were bowled out for 199 while chasing a 263-run target against Bristol.
Cameron Bancroft’s hundred at the top along with a fifty from his opening partner Miles Hammond helped the Gloucs post a 301-run total while batting first in their last outing.
Not only have both teams won their last match, but they’ve had their key players find form and will be eager to carry the momentum in this game.

William Luxton and Finlay Bean will have all eyes on them in this match. They haven’t been very consistent as openers and despite a few good knocks haven’t made a significant impact on the game.
Luxton kicked off the one-day cup campaign with a brilliant 83-run knock in the opening game against Surrey. Since then, he’s scored 4 and 2 while his opening partner’s scores in his last 3 innings are 37, 18, and 3.
Finlay Bean looked in good touch in the last match and should be looking to convert a good start into something bigger this time around. It was Bean and Shan Masood who helped Yorkshire post a competitive total in their last outing.
The early wickets at the top can hurt the team a great deal. As such Shan Masood has a great responsibility at number 3 to be the anchor of this Yorkshire innings. James Wharton and George Hill follow at 4 and 5 and can help build a few more partnerships in the middle order.
Hill scored 51 off 38 balls against Surrey while Matthew Revis was unbeaten on 36 off 15 at number 6 in that innings. The batting lineup is quite deep. Dom Bess also made a handy contribution in the last match at number 8.
Ben Coad and Dom Bess are two key wicket-takers in this attack that has a great variety. Daniel Moriarty and George Hill are also handy bowlers and can deliver a few breakthroughs.

Gloucestershire have finally secured a win in this one-day cup season after two consecutive losses. They were bowled out for 160 runs in their opening game while batting first and followed it up with 199 all-out in the second match while chasing a target.
James Bracey was the top run-scorer with his 86-run knock in the opening game while Ajeet Dale scored 63 off 34 at number 11 to be the top batsman in the next match. Whoever picked Dale to be the top team batsman in that match would have won the best returns ever.
Such performances can create odd chances for the team but cannot push them to victory in a one-day match. They need the top-order to fire if they are to continue winning like the recent game where opener Cameron Bancroft scored a hundred while his opening partner Miles Hammond also scored a decent fifty.
A good start can pave the way to a big score or a successful run chase. Oliver Price and James Bracey are also talented batters in the middle order. They’re proven impactful players who have delivered big in the past.
The middle and lower middle order is solid in this lineup with the skipper coming in at number 6. James Taylor scored a quick-fire 44 off 26 balls at number 6 to help Gloucestershire get to 301 runs while batting first.
Ajeet Dale, Matt Taylor, and Graeme van Buuren will be the key wicket-takers to watch out for. Dominic Goodman has been consistent with wickets and has found a breakthrough every single time.

The day will start clear and sunny but as the match progresses, we expect some cloud cover which will last throughout the day with no chances of rain and a high of 25 degrees Celsius.
The wicket isn’t great for batting this year. It has always been bowling-friendly except on a few occasions when we witnessed some high-scoring matches. The average 1st innings score at this venue in the last 5 one-day cup matches is 278 runs. However, only 2 one-day matches are played every season at the York Cricket Club. We reckon anything around 260-270 can be a highly competitive total in this match.
Teams batting first have won 3 of the last 5 one-day cup matches played at this venue. Only twice in these 5 games has a team crossed the 300-run mark. It is a bowling-friendly venue where even 240 runs can be defended. The last match played here saw the team batting first comfortably defend a 261-run total.
Yorkshire have a decent record at this venue and their bowlers are in great form, delivering consistently for the side. Gloucestershire seem to have just found their rhythm with key batters starting to deliver big. As such this promises to be a close encounter with Yorkshire starting with a slight edge in our match prediction.
