Who Will Win Gloucestershire Women vs Sussex Women 33rd T20 Blast Women 2025 Prediction – 17th July
Gloucestershire Women vs Sussex Women prediction: The 33rd T20 Blast Women 2025 clash between Gloucestershire Women and Sussex Women will be played on Thursday, 17th July 2025, at the College Ground, Cheltenham. Both teams have struggled this season, but Gloucestershire will look to bounce back with home advantage. Sussex, having already defeated Gloucestershire once this season, will be eyeing a repeat. However, Gloucestershire’s improved bowling unit and consistent middle-order performances make them slight favorites in this contest. Today’s Gloucestershire Women vs Sussex Women prediction leans in favor of the hosts, who have shown signs of improvement despite their low ranking.
With just one win in six games, Gloucestershire Women are at the bottom of the South Group table. Skipper Melissa Story will need the likes of Bea Willis, Georgie Cant, and Prarthana Reddy to lead the charge. Sussex Women, despite a few standout individual performances, have been inconsistent as a unit. Nancy Harman and Phoebe Wilkinson are key players, but the bowling lacks bite under pressure.

Gloucestershire Women Preview
The Gloucestershire Women have lacked consistency but will hope to take advantage of familiar conditions at Cheltenham. Batting has been their weak link, with only Bea Willis showing stability, scoring 28 in the last game. Prarthana Reddy, Georgie Cant, and Meg Ahearne have chipped in with cameos but need to play bigger roles.
The bowling attack, led by Charlotte Rose Phillips and Katie Dolman, has shown promise. Phillips was economical in the last outing, taking 1/17. The spin department with Bea Willis and Reddy could be key on a turning Cheltenham pitch.
Sussex Women Preview
Sussex Women are out of playoff contention but will look to finish strong. Nancy Harman has been sensational, smashing 77* in the previous match, well-supported by Phoebe Wilkinson. However, the rest of the batting lineup has failed to contribute consistently.
In the bowling department, Eva O’Neill and Ava Lee have been the only consistent wicket-takers. Sussex’s bowlers have struggled with discipline in the death overs and must improve to contain Gloucestershire’s batting.
