GLA vs DUR Match 1 Predictions & Betting Tips

Glamorgan will be locking horns with Durham in match number of Division 2 of the fresh season of the County Championship. This upcoming fixture will be hosted at the home of Glamorgan - Sophia Gardens in Cardiff from April 7, Thursday. I have managed to unearth three of the top betting tips from the GLA vs DUR head-to-head encounter.

The holy grail of domestic competition returns with the 2022 edition of the County Championship in England. The English domestic cricket circuit has also been going through a revamp and we are going to witness the changes in this upcoming edition of the decorated competition. For the first time in many years, the County Championship will see two divisions. Division 1 will have 10 teams whereas division 2 will see 8 county sides fighting for the title, along with a two-up, two-down promotion and relegation system. This was agreed by the division 1 teams back in 2019 was not implemented as the 2020 edition of the competition had to be cancelled due to the pandemic. Coming back to this game between Durham and Glamorgan, the former had a decent season last time around but they failed to do well in the 2019 edition and thus they could not make it to the divisional 1. Glamorgan finished plum last in their group last year and is expected to do better this time around. While we wait for the action to kickstart, let us take a look at the top betting tips from the GLA vs DUR head-to-head clash.

GLA vs DUR Team Bet:

The aggregators will surely provide plenty of markets for the County Championship games this time around. However the winner bet never disappoints and definitely not for this particular fixture between Glamorgan and Durham.

Durham to win

To begin with, I thought it would be nice to start the County Championship 2022 campaign with a guaranteed one. Walking into this current edition of the County Championship, Durham will be feeling confident and will resume their journey to get promoted to division 1 by the end of the season. Durham had a very decent season last time around as they finished on the third spot behind Essex and Gloucestershire. Glamorgan, on the other hand, finished right at the bottom in Division 2. In the whole season, Glamorgan managed only two wins and, on the contrary, Durham managed double their opponents’ numbers. Durham has also managed to register three wins in the last four head-to-head encounters against Glamorgan. The last time when Durham took on Glamorgan in a County Championship game (last year September), the former crushed the latter by an innings and 42 runs. The last time these two teams faced each other at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff, Durham won by an innings and 30 runs.Going by these numbers, it looks like Durham will walk into this fixture as firm favourites. The Pari Match website should offer decent odds for a Durham victory in the GLA vs DUR match prediction.

GLA vs DUR Player Bets:

Two absolute guns of cricketers have made it to my list of tips from this encounter between Glamorgan and Durham. Having invested in these two myself, I can assure you that you will not return empty-handed.

David Bedingham to score over 33.5 runs

Those of you who are unaware of the name David Bedingham, by the time you finish reading this particular paragraph, you will know the importance of this man in the County Championship as a whole. The South African-born cricketer has been trying his luck for both Proteas and England but despite his radical shows with the bat season after season, it breaks his heart. Bedingham was the fourth highest run getter in the County Championship 2021 season and also the leading run scorer for Durham with a mammoth 1029 runs in 13 matches at an astounding average of 60.52. In the recently concluded CSA 4-Day Franchise Series in South Africa, Bedingham finished second on the list with 509 runs in 5 matches at an average of 63.62. The last time Bedingham took on Glamorgan in the County Championship, he finished with a score of 47 runs. Overall, the 27-year-old right-handed batsman has played 55 First-class matches and has amassed 4033 runs at an average of almost 50.00. His last three First-class scores are 81, 71 and 199, which shows the extent of damage he can do with the bat. Pari Match should offer fantastic odds for David Bedingham to shine for Durham in the GLA vs DUR match prediction.

Kiran Carlson to score over 22.5 runs

As we are approaching the end of this tips list, we will top it off a Glamorgan batter, Kiran Shah Carlson, who also has done well over the past few years in domestic cricket, especially with the red ball. Carlson was the leading run scorer for Glamorgan in the last season of the County Championship with 928 runs in 14 matches at an average of almost 49.00. Although he finished with scores of 17 and 14 in the respective innings against Durham during the last head-to-head encounter, his intent for the remainder of the season suggested an overall improvement in the near future. Carlson finished with a score of 63 against Surrey in the last edition of the County Championship. The right-handed batsman has played 48 matches so far in his career and has added 2430 runs at an average of 31.55. He also holds the record of the youngest player to score a century for Glamorgan in First-class cricket at 18 years and 119 days.
