GLO vs DUR Player Bets:

We have picked out David Bedingham, Kiran Carlson and Alex Lees as our top three player bets from the GLO vs DUR player betting tips. These bets will assure you a handsome win in the forthcoming fixture.

David Bedingham To Score Over 30.5 runs

Among the County batsmen this season, David Bedingham is one of the most celebrated FC cricketers. The South African cricketer comes with an experience of 3497 FC runs gathered over 81 innings which averages 48.56. These innings include ten hundreds and fifteen half centuries in 49 matches. Not only is Bedingham the highest run scorer for his franchise but also among the top three batsmen in the ongoing season of County. The middle-order Durham batsman has come out to bat in 18 innings and mounted 1008 runs from them. He has a superb average of 66.80 from these 12 innings. Among his total scores 558 runs alone account for his first innings runs.

In fact he had his highest scores this season in Durham's third match, which was played against Derbyshire where the middle -order batsman accessorized his teams scoreboard with 257 runs in the first innings. In fact his first innings scores account for three half hundreds and one half century and is a clear display of his commendable job done for his side. As the first game in the Division stage was called off for Durham, Bedingham played the second round against Glamorgan where he added 47 runs in the first round. Bedingham's second innings scores are as notable as his first innings scores. This makes him one of the top picks from the GLO vs DUR betting tips. Dafabet has offered odds of 1.87 for Bendingham to score over 30.5 runs.

James Bracey To Underscore

The next batsman in line is the Gloucestershire wicketkeeper, James Bracey. The wicketkeeper batter had an intense start to the season tournament. He has been the top run scorer for Gloucestershire but his performance has dipped over time. Bracey has six fifties and one hundred this season but they were all a part of the group stage matches. He has scored 677 runs from 10 matches at an average of 37.61. Bracey started off the season with three half centuries and one hundred in the group stage but then in the Division stage he was not impressive enough. In fact in the two rounds played in the Division stage Bracey has scored just 7 and 3 runs in the first innings. Also before the culmination of the group stage matches, Bracey had been dismissed for a duck against Hampshire. Bracey will likely not be able to perform in the last round of the match. Meanwhile keep an eye out for the affiliates to come out with odds for James Bracey in the GLO vs DUR match prediction.

Alex Lees To score over 26.5 runs

The left-handed Durham batsman has been seemingly consistent in the FC format of cricket. His consistency with the bat will make us win some cash when Gloucestershire and Durham lock horns in the forthcoming encounter. Overall, the 28-year-old has played 125 FC matches and has 7026 runs against his name at an average of 35.30. He had put up a spectacular show in the opening match against Nottinghamshire where he notched his first half century of the season in the first innings. What came consecutively was his highest first innings score of 126 runs against Warwickshire earlier this season. Out of the ten first innings games that Alex has featured in he has managed to hit the 50 mark in four of these matches accompanied with one century. He opened the Division stage against Glamorgan adding 55 first innings runs to the teams scoreboard. From a total of 576 runs gathered from the 10 matches 438 runs alone account for his first innings numbers. However, you can bet on Alex Less to score over 26.5 runs in the GLO vs DUR match prediction.
