Gloucestershire vs Sussex prediction: The 115th match of the T20 Blast 2025 between Gloucestershire and Sussex will be played on Thursday, 17th July 2025, at the College Ground, Cheltenham. This clash is critical for both teams’ slim hopes of making it to the playoffs. While Sussex are two points ahead, their four-match losing streak has hurt their momentum.

Today’s Gloucestershire vs Sussex prediction favors the hosts, who are showing signs of resurgence at just the right time.
Despite recent defeats, Gloucestershire come into this match high on confidence. Their top order is firing, with Ben Charlesworth, Miles Hammond, and Jack Taylor playing key roles. Their bowling, led by David Payne and Marchant de Lange, was impressive in Cardiff. Sussex’s challenge is to break their losing streak, which will require big efforts from senior players like Tymal Mills and Tom Alsop.

Gloucestershire Preview
Gloucestershire bounced back strongly against Glamorgan with a dominant all-round performance. Their batting, which had been inconsistent, clicked well as Ben Charlesworth top-scored with a composed 55, while Miles Hammond provided a quickfire start.
Jack Taylor, anchoring the middle order, showed great maturity. Their bowling was well led by left-arm seamer David Payne, who picked up three wickets. Marchant de Lange’s pace and Josh Shaw’s control further strengthened their defense of 175. If they replicate that intensity, they will be tough to beat.
Sussex Preview
Sussex’s form has dipped significantly. They lost their last match to Hampshire despite scoring a competitive 167. Openers George Thomas and Daniel Hughes got starts, and Tom Clark contributed 39, but none of them converted to big scores.
Their bowling hasn’t been consistent. Danny Lamb took two wickets last match, but the team missed the impact of Tymal Mills, who needs to bounce back here. The middle overs have lacked control, and that has cost them in tight games.

Favourite Team Today – Gloucestershire
Gloucestershire are showing a resurgence just when it matters. Their experienced top order is in rhythm, and the bowling unit is gelling well with Payne and de Lange leading the charge.
