GLA vs ESS T20 Blast Match Predictions and Betting Tips

Essex and Glamorgan are scheduled to play against each other in the 19th match of the Vitality T20 Blast 2021. The match is scheduled to take place at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on June 13. I have picked the top GLA vs ESS match predictions and betting tips to get you winning from the game.

Essex and Glamorgan have been playing in the format since 2010, which was when Glamorgan was formed. They have had 12 results over the course of years, with Essex claiming 8 wins and Glamorgan getting just 4. Essex have won 5 matches at the venue against Glamorgan, and Glamorgan have managed to pull in only one win. Essex and Glamorgan were both stuck in the penultimate position of their respective groups, in the T20 Blast last year. Glamorgan did win more games, but since they were in different groups we cannot derive conclusions from that.

This year Glamorgan have already lost their first game against Gloucestershire. Gloucestershire was the only team they managed to win both games against last year. It was a fierce game, and Marnus Labuschagne was the top scorer, but Glamorgan fell four runs short. Essex lost their first game too, where Hampshire got them all out in 19 overs. Essex went on to win their second match against Somerset and gained two points in the process. I have picked the top GLA vs ESS match predictions and betting tips to get you winning from the match.

GLA vs ESS Team Bets

The team bets given by the oddsmakers include a very lucrative market. I have handpicked this market out for you for the top GLA vs ESS team betting tip from the game.

Essex to hit the most Sixes

This is one of the strongest betting markets and it is really surprising to get such good odds for this bet. In the only game, Glamorgan managed to hit 5 sixes, while Essex hit 6 sixes against their opponents in both games. Glamorgan conceded 8 sixes from Gloucestershire, while Essex conceded 8 and 2 sixes in the two games. Essex also have had 5 players chip in to hit the big boundaries. Micheal Popper, Tom Westley, Paul Walter, James Neesham, and Jack Plom have all chipped in to get the sixes. Glamorgan had David Lloyd, Marnus Labuschagne, and Chris Cooke chip in.

We can see the difference even from last year. Andy Balbirnie was the second-highest six-hitter for Glamorgan, but he won’t be joining the squad this year. Dan Doutherwaite was the top and he has been benched due to poor play. While Essex have similar problems too with Dan Lawrence playing the international matches, their squad is better equipped to hit the bigger boundaries. This is another one of the top GLA vs ESS match predictions. Sportsbet.io has offered odds of 1.80 for Essex to hit the most match sixes.

Glamorgan vs Essex Player Bets

The player bets on performance points present a couple of opportunities. I have found a couple of Essex players that serve you the potential to make a lot of money. Take a look at the top GLA vs ESS player betting tips.

Tom Westley to hit over 2.5 fours

The first bet is for the opener for Essex who has gotten over the target boundaries in both his games. Tom Westley scored only 13 runs from 7 balls in his first match of the season, against Somerset. Yet he scored 12 runs by hitting 3 fours in the match. In his match against Hampshire, he hit a total of 5 fours and 1 six and scored 44 runs from 29 balls. This shows he is clearly competent enough and also in shape to get to the target. Tom Westley was playing well last season as well. He played 7 innings and hit 22 fours from them at an average of 3.14 fours per innings.

Tom Westley last played a complete inning against Glamorgan in 2018. He has played a total of 6 complete innings against them with 207 runs and 20 fours. This again is an average of 3.33 fours per match which is above his required target. He has also played 2 innings in Sophia Gardens before and hit 11 fours (5, 6) from them. This is an average of 5.5 fours and definitely winning for our bet. This is one of the top GLA vs ESS match predictions. Bet365.com has offered odds of 1.83 for Tom Westley to hit over 2.5 match fours.

Varun Chopra to hit under 2.5 fours

The next bet I have picked for you is a player who has consistently failed to perform in this format. Varun Chopra has been an opener for Essex for the last 4 years. He had initially transferred to Warwickshire from Essex back in 2010 but transferred back in 2017. He has played a total of 115 T20’s in his career and scored 2896 runs from them with 251 fours and 82 sixes. This is an average of over 2 fours per match, but this includes his play from 10 years ago which was vastly different. In the recent past, Varun Chopra has not been able to perform at all. The last time he played well was in 2018, when he last played Glamorgan. In T20 Blast 2020, he played 6 games and managed to hit only 6 fours from the games. This was an average of 1.0 four per match and he hit over the target fours in only one game.

Varun Chopra barely had an opportunity to play in 2019, and he has been on the bench since the commencement of this season. In his last 7 games against Glamorgan, he has hit a total of 19 fours at an average of 2.71 but he had 2 or lower fours in 5 of the 7 innings. He has played 3 games in Sophia Garden and got over the target fours once. This is another one of the top GLA vs ESS match predictions. Bet365.com has offered odds of 1.66 for Varun Chopra to hit under 2.5 fours.
