MID vs GLO Match 22 South Group Predictions & Betting Tips

Middlesex will be at loggerheads with Gloucestershire in the match number 22 of Vitality T20 Blast 2023 under South Group. Middlesex will host their opponent at the Merchant’s Taylor School Ground, Northwood on May 29. The match is scheduled to commence from 7:00 PM IST. Ahead of the matchday, I have handpicked three of the best money making betting tips for you from the MID vs GLO head-to-head contest.

Neither Middlesex nor Gloucestershire have had the perfect start to their Vitality T20 Blast season as they both suffered consecutive losses. Technically, Essex are placed at the bottom but they haven’t played a game yet and hence Middlesex and Gloucestershire should be at the bottom of their group. The pitch here at Northwood is good enough for batting and with quick outfield, the batters are going to get easy singles. Middlesex did everything they could in their last game against reigning champions, Hampshire but could not take any point out of the game as their bowling unit just couldn't find the answer for Hampshire’s opening duo. Gloucestershire also lacked the consistency from their bowling unit and considering Middlesex’s spirited effort against the champions, we think they have a better chance to redeem themselves and the bookmakers also say the same. As we gear up for this exciting contest, let us have a look at our top team & player betting tips from the MID vs GLO match prediction.

MID vs GLO Team Bet:

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

Gloucestershire to score under 24.5 runs before 1st dismissal

A near full house at Bristol saw Gloucestershire suffer their 2nd defeat of their T20 Blast campaign this season. Apart from Chris Dent’s 55 runs and Charlesworth’s 55 runs, there isn't anything to be excited about the Gladiators. Gloucestershire Gladiators posted scores of 2 & 18 runs before losing their first wicket in the two games they played this season. In both these games, the Gladiators failed to amass our target of 24.5 runs, thus strengthening our betting tip. Grant Roelofsen is struggling to score runs this season and has posted scores of 1 & 7 runs while Dent posted scores of 11 & 55 runs in the two games so far. The last time these two sides met, GLO scored 14 & 30 runs before 1st dismissal. Much like last season, Dent has not got the necessary support required, resulting in Gloucestershire posting low scores before suffering their first loss. Although Middlesex conceded more than our target in each of the two games they played this season, looking at Gloucestershire’s struggling openers, we don't expect the latter to score over 24 runs before suffering their first loss. With 1XBET offering the odds of 1.832 for GLO to score under 24.5 runs before their 1st dismissal and you should take it in order to win a heavy bonus.

MID vs GLO Player Bets:

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

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 75 T20 innings at an average of 20.70. 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 and in the following game he failed to open the scoring. Although the batter averages almost 29.60 against Middlesex, his recent run of form suggests that scoring over 16 runs will be a tedious task for this 27-year-old. 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 1.832 in Miles Hammond to score under 16.5 runs from the MID vs GLO head-to-head match and you should take it for a heavy payout.

Pieter Malan to score over 23.5 runs

Pieter Malan, the seasoned right-hand opening batsman, has been a consistent performer throughout his cricketing career. With notable achievements at both domestic and international levels, Malan is set to make his mark in the English T20 Blast in what happens to be his second season in the competition. In T20s, Malan has proven himself to be a reliable and impactful batsman. In the 2021 season, he played three games and scored 85 runs at an impressive average of 28.30 and a strike rate of 126.90. Malan's overall T20 career is impressive, with 1778 runs in 56 innings at an average of 39.51. Malan appeared in only two games in the 2022/23 season of CSA T20 Challenge. He posted scores of 17 & 16 runs in those two games but that should not take you away from placing your money on him. In the two games that he played this season in the Vitality T20 Blast, Pieter Malan posted scores of 30 & 80 runs, which makes him the leading run-scorer for his side this season. Considering Pieter Malan's consistent performances, recent form and impressive T20 statistics, betting enthusiasts should keep a close eye on 1XBET as they are offering the odds of 1.832 in Pieter Malan’s favour to score over 23.5 runs in this upcoming English T20 Blast encounter.
