Team Previews
Gloucestershire Preview
Gloucestershire finally found winning form, thanks to skipper Jack Taylor and a clinical performance with both bat and ball. Openers Miles Hammond and D’Arcy Short provided a strong platform, and the return of Cameron Bancroft to the top order adds further solidity. In the middle, Oliver Price and Jack Taylor form a reliable pair. The unbeaten 98-run stand between them in the last match was a game-changer.
Graeme van Buuren, with his finishing capabilities, adds depth to the batting lineup, while David Payne and Ajeet Dale are crucial with the ball. Bowling depth remains a concern, especially in defending totals, but the home advantage at Bristol could balance the scales.
Hampshire Preview
Hampshire Hawks will be banking on experience to bounce back. Skipper James Vince, fresh off a half-century, is in good touch, and Dewald Brevis, with his aggressive batting, is a threat at number four. However, the lack of consistency from Toby Albert and a misfiring middle-order has hampered their progress.
The bowling attack is still strong with Chris Wood, Liam Dawson, and Benny Howell forming the core. Scott Currie and James Fuller are also proven wicket-takers, but the team needs breakthroughs in the powerplay and a better performance at the death to seal games.
With their recent losses piling up, Hampshire must click as a unit to avoid another upset.
