Essex are favorites to win
Essex Eagles welcome Glamorgan to the Cloud County Ground, Chelmsford on Saturday evening in the 2022 Vitality Blast. The Eagles are in third place in the table and are guaranteed to finish in the top four and to progress to the quarter finals. Glamorgan come into the fixture in sixth and will not reach the knockout stage. Read on as we preview this South Group game. The match begins at 18:30 local time.
Essex Eagles have beaten Sussex Sharks, Hampshire, Surrey and Middlesex over the course of the last eight days and are not overawed by any opposition in any format at home.
Glamorgan have been in decent form in the T20 Blast of late but will find Essex Eagles a very tough proposition. The visitors will have to be at their best to threaten the home side in this match.
TV channels: This match will be shown live on Sky Sports in the UK.
Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on the Fan Code app; the ECB website and app; and SkyGo.
Surrey won the toss and chose to field first in the last T20 Blast game in Chelmsford. Although Surrey lost that match, we predict that both teams will want to bat second ahead of this fixture.
With a short boundary and a fast, bouncy wicket, we expect plenty of runs and both spin and pace bowlers to be kept interested on this pitch. We predict a par score in the region of 185-195.
Partly cloudy but a warm evening in Chelmsford. There is a slight chance of rain late on in the game with the temperature no lower than 17 degrees.
Read on for team previews, betting tips, latest odds, and match prediction for Essex vs Glamorgan, Vitality T20 Blast 2022.
Opener Robin Das made his first appearance for Essex Eagles since 2020 and Ben Allison also returned to the XI ahead of the win over Sussex Sharks on Friday in Hove. Allison dismissed Josh Philippe and we expect both players to retain their spots in the team.
The Eagles have won five of their last six games in this competition and four matches in all formats on the bounce.
Adam Rossington (wk), Robin Das, Michael Pepper, Dan Lawrence, Paul Walter, Tom Westley, Daniel Sams, Simon Harmer (c), Aaron Beard, Ben Allison, Sam Cook
Although it is mathematically impossible for Glamorgan to finish in the top four of the South Group, they have been playing good cricket over recent games in the Vitality Blast. There are no new injury worries in the squad and we expect the same XI to be selected from their defeat to Somerset.
The shortened game against Somerset ended in defeat but Glamorgan have won their last two fully completed matches in this format.
David Lloyd (c), Sam Northeast, Colin Ingram, Kiran Carlson, Edward Byrom, Dan Douthwaite, Alex Horton (wk), Michael Neser, Andrew Salter, Prem Sisodiya, Michael Hogan
Although they have won only one of the last nine fixtures between the sides, Essex Eagles still maintain a three match lead over Glamorgan in the overall head to head.

With their place in the knockout stage already secured, the bookies fancy Essex Eagles to win this game.
In Colin Ingram and Dan Lawrence, we have a batter on each side with an excellent reputation across the globe in T20 Cricket. Asa yet, no player on either side has scored 400+ runs in the tournament.
Dan Lawrence, Michael Pepper and Adam Rossington are our batting recommendations for Essex Eagles. Lawrence has scored 10 half-centuries in 77 T20 appearances.
Colin Ingram, Sam Northeast and David Lloyd are our batting tips for Glamorgan. Northeast is averaging 42.22 in the 2022 Vitality Blast.
For Essex Eagles, Simon Harmer, Daniel Sams and Sam Cook are our bowling tips. Sams has taken at least one wicket in each of his last seven appearances in this competition.
For Glamorgan, Michael Neser, Michael Hogan and Daniel Douthwaite are our bowling tips. Douthwaite took 2-25 when these sides met earlier in the competition.
This should be a good game between two sides who have both been in strong form in the T20 Blast over recent weeks. Essex Eagles will be relaxed with qualification already secured whereas Glamorgan only have pride to play for. Our prediction is for a home win
