SUR vs GLO Team Bet:

Mentioned below is the top team betting tip from the SUR vs GLO head-to-head contest.

Surrey to win

The home side will be keen to maintain their standards with bat and ball against Gloucestershire. In the batting department, the side will be depending on the likes of Jason Roy, Will Jacks, Ollie Pope, Laurie Evans and Sam Curran to deliver the bulk of the runs. In their opening match, Surrey registered a comfortable four-wicket win over Glamorgan. With this result, Surrey are lying at the 4th spot of the league table. On the other hand, Gloucestershire have suffered back-to-back defeats in the competition. Captain Jack Taylor will be hoping that the side can turn things around in this fixture. There have been 14 meetings between the teams in the history of the competition where Surrey have registered nine victories. Gloucestershire have managed to come out on top on five occasions. The result of the last five clashes also incline towards Surrey as they lead the tally by 3-2, including the recent two clashes. The teams met once last year where Surrey clutched a 7 wicket victory over the latter. Considering the batters' form in the recent games, it is imperative for Surrey to win this SUR vs GLO head-to-head game. Pari Match offers the odds of 1.56 for Surrey to win and it is a safe bet to make some money with.

SUR vs GLO Player Bets:

I have picked both the batters to score well from the SUR vs GLO head-to-head contest. Have a glance.

Sam Curran to score over 16.5 runs

Sam Curran did not enter the IPL 2022 mega auction to focus on his rehabilitation. Curran last batted in a T20 match in September 2021 for Chennai Super Kings (CSK) in the IPL 2021. He did play a T20 match against Sri Lanka Cricket Development XI on Wednesday but did not get a chance to bat as Surrey won the match by 9 wickets. Sam Curran has an experience of 83 T20 career games where he managed to muster 1272 runs at an average of 20.85. Although this seems quite low, the batter has displayed promise with his batting recently. In the last game, Sam Curran chipped in with a crucial score of 36 runs off 22 balls with the help of three boundaries and two sixes and pulled the team towards the victory line. Curran played four matches for Surrey in the Vitality Blast 2021 but hit headlines with an unbeaten 72-run knock off just 36 balls which helped Surrey gun down 188 in just 16 overs. He missed out the last time the team played GLO in the 2021 edition but displayed his experience with the bat in his previous outing. Pari Match offers the best player odds in the market for you to earn a profitable return and you should pick Sam Curran for the same from the SUR vs GLO match prediction.

Ollie Pope to score over 24.5 runs

Surrey will have a huge upper hand with a batter like Ollie Pope in the squad who has proved himself constantly across all formats. Pope has played a total of 41 T20 career innings where he amassed 997 runs at a high average of 32.16. In the previous match, wicket-keeper Ollie Pope played well and finished the innings with the top-score of 62 runs off 46 balls with the help of eight boundaries. This will be reminiscent of his run in the previous year’s edition of the tournament. He batted in 5 games last year and smashed 168 runs at an average of 42.00. He struck the ball with a strike rate of 141.17 in those innings and pocketed two half centuries. He played an unbeaten 31 run innings in the recent match played against Sri Lanka Dev XI. Interestingly, he played his last two innings at Kennington Oval and played a remarkable innings as mentioned in the article before. He is coming off a stunning campaign of the County Championship where he scored 96, 84 (vs GLO), 47 & 5, 127 and 58 runs in the last five first-class games. Although it's a different format, having batted to a similar squad and venue, it will give an edge to the batter to score well in the SUR vs GLO head-to-head encounter.

My Picks:

Surrey to win @1.56 (Pari Match)

Sam Curran to score over 16.5 runs @1.87 (Pari Match)

Ollie Pope to score over 24.5 runs @1.87 (Pari Match)
