The match will commence from 11:00 PM IST. Ahead of the matchday, I have unearthed three of the best money making betting tips for you from the GLO vs GLA head-to-head encounter.

Gloucestershire suffered a shambolic 7 wicket defeat with 39 balls to spare at the hands of the 2021 T20 Blast champions, Kent.

As far as the history between the two sides is concerned, in the 30 meetings between the two teams, GLO has triumphed 16 times, while GLA has done so 14 times. Gloucestershire will also take pride in the fact that they have beaten Glamorgan in three of their last five meetings and lost only once. As we gear up for this exciting game of cricket, let us have a look at our top team & player betting tips from the GLO vs GLA match prediction.

GLO vs GLA Player Bets:

We have chosen Sam Northeast and Miles Hammond as our top two player betting tips from the GLO vs GLA match prediction. Have a glance!

Sam Northeast to score over 23.5 runs

Northeast had been marked out as a cricketer with leadership potential from an early age, and Kent put their faith in him by naming him as their captain in all competitions for 2016 in succession to Rob Key, a long-serving captain and mentor. He responded with runs galore, attracting praise from all corners. He moved to Hampshire followed by his move to Glamorgan. In his T20 career, he mustered 3476 runs in 130 innings at an average of 30.49. This includes a century and 24 fifties in those career games. Last season, Northeast scored 510 runs, the most for his side, at an average of 51.00 in 13 games. In his T20 Blast career which has spanned for over 107 innings, Northeast has accumulated 3119 runs at an average of 31.80. Against Gloucestershire, Northeast averages a decent 28.20. He has scored 310 runs in 11 games against them. His average jumps to a whooping 39.70 while batting at the County Ground in Bristol, which is the venue for this upcoming contest. Northeast scored 24 runs vs GLO in his last meeting with them which took place in the year 2022. Looking at these above mentioned numbers, you should utilise this opportunity by placing your money on him to score under 23.5 runs in this contest. With 1XBET offering odds of 1.87 in Sam Northeast’s favour, make the most out of this glorious betting opportunity.

Miles Hammond to score under 16.5 runs

Like I said during Gloucestershire’s last game, the 27-year-old top-order batsman Miles Hammond is going to make you money. Now those of you who made money during the previous Gloucestershire game I am sure you are in for this bet too and for those who are still sceptical about Marnus then the next few lines are a must read for you. Hammond's positive approach enabled him to play several successful innings in Gloucestershire's top order in the T20 Blast as 2018 brought him decent rewards across all formats. Hammond developed through the Oxfordshire youth system. Miles has 1470 runs in 74 T20 innings at an average of 21.00. His T20 career is laced with a total of 3 fifties. Although this looks quite decent, his average has dropped steeply in the past two seasons. From averaging close to 18.50 in 2021, his average dropped to 13.50 last year in the Vitality T20 Blast. Hammond only accumulated 162 runs in 12 outings last season. Hammond was dismissed for just 9 in GLO’s opening game of the season this year in the Vitality T20 Blast. Against Glamorgan, the batter averages only 18.50. He has scored 148 runs in 8 meetings against them. At the County Ground in Bristol, Hammond averages only 19.50. He has scored 449 runs in 23 games here. In the 2022 season of the Men’s Hundred competition, Miles scored only 118 runs in 7 outings at an average of only 19.66. His recent run of form suggests that the batter is struggling to put up a nice show with the bat and hence we expect Miles Hammond to score under 16.5 runs in this contest. 1XBET offers the odds of 1.87 in Miles Hammond to score under 16.5 runs from the GLO vs GLA head-to-head match and you should take it for a heavy payout.

GLO vs GLA Team Bet:

Let us have a look at our top team betting tip from the GLO vs GLA match prediction.

Gloucestershire to score under 26.5 runs before 1st dismissal

A near full house at Canterbury saw Gloucestershire suffer a 7 defeat setback at the hands of the 2021 Vitality T20 Blast champions Kent. The visitors were bundled out for only 113 runs and all the blame goes to their opening duo shifted the momentum in the opposition’s favour right from the very beginning. The Gladiators lost their first wicket inside the 2nd over of the game, scoring only 2 runs. Grant Roelofsen lost his wicket after scoring a run but his partner Chris Dent went on to score a fifty. A similar pattern has been observed in the past too where Chris Dent has lacked the necessary support required at the top. Gloucestershire’s opening partnership posted scores of 4, 0, 13, 30 & 2 runs in their last five games. This totals to 49 runs scored across five games, averaging 9.80 runs per game before 1st dismissal. This falls way below our target of 26.5 runs, thus making it a safe betting tip from this GLO vs GLA contest. In each of these five games, barring one, Gloucestershire failed to accumulate over 26 runs before losing their first wicket. Last time these two sides met, GLO scored 58 runs for the first wicket. But a lot has changed since then. Dent, who scored 55 runs in the last game maintained an average of about 24.25 last season. The venue does not support the batter either where he averages at 20.77. His opening partner, Roelofsen, hailing from South Africa, made his T20 Blast debut in the last game. Coming to Glamorgan, the side conceded just 66 runs in five games, averaging only 13.20 runs before 1st dismissal, favouring our betting tip. 1XBET offers the odds of 1.91 for GLO to score under 26.5 runs before their 1st dismissal and you should take it in order to win a heavy bonus.
