Toss Prediction
The wicket at the Sophia Gardens has been absolutely brilliant for batting in the past few matches and the last three matches of the ongoing season played at this ground have been won by the side batting first. Toss, therefore, is going to be an important factor here and whichever team wins it is more likely to bat first.

Glamorgan Team News & Playing 11
GLAM Team News
Glamorgan have lost Joe Burns and Usman Khawaja for the remainder of their Vitality Blast campaign. While Burns hurt his back during the game against Somerset, Khawaja who was having a good season left the side after the game against Gloucestershire last Friday. The departure of this Australian pair has left Glamorgan without an overseas player in their squad and it seems unlikely that they will be getting a replacement anytime soon.
GLAM Key Players
Skipper Colin Ingram is leading from the front and he is undoubtedly the key figure in Glamorgan's batting line-up. The top-order batsman has scores of 46* and 89 in his previous two innings and the team will want him to continue his good form. Kiran Carlson with a strike-rate of close to 150 has looked good in patches and he has the potential to play the big knocks. Glamorgan, however, will also expect strong contributions from Craig Meschede and Chris Cooke. Timm van der Gugten has been the standout performer with the ball. The fast bowler is among the season's leading wicket-takers with 16 wickets in 9 matches. Ruaidhri Smith has taken nine wickets in five matches including one four-wicket haul and he along with Michael Hogan can also cause a few problems for Hampshire in this match.
GLAM Recent Form
With six wins and three losses from ten league matches and with 13 points in their kitty, Glamorgan currently find themselves in a very comfortable position on the second spot in the South Group points table. Since their last defeat against Gloucestershire two weeks ago, they have won their next four completed fixtures on the bounce. They played their last match against Essex at Cardiff and emerged victorious by six runs.
Glamorgan Predicted Playing 11

Hampshire Team News & Playing 11
HAM Team News
Hampshire seem to be free from all injury concerns at the moment with all their players looking in good physical condition. We expect them to pick the playing eleven that took the field in the game against Kent last Friday.
HAM Key Players
Hampshire are heavily reliant on Colin Munro and Liam Dawson when it comes to batting. Dawson has scored the most runs for the side this season while Munro can be extremely dangerous with his big-hitting skills. James Vince and Rilee Rossouw have both had a quiet tournament so far and they will be expected to deliver the goods this time around. With the ball, Hampshire will turn to the likes of Chris Wood, Mujeeb Ur Rahman and Kyle Abbott to do the job. Wood has been the pick of the lot and he seems a top candidate here to provide the early breakthroughs with the new ball. Mujeeb can be a tricky bowler to face and he will be backed by his team for a good bowling performance against Glamorgan.
HAM Recent Form
Hampshire have struggled to win matches in Vitality Blast 2018 and their chances of making it past the group stage look bleak. Although there have been a few impressive individual performances from their side, they have failed to click together as a team which is why they are lying at the bottom of their group. Overall, they have not really been up to the mark with the bat and they will need their batsmen to step up and take some pressure off the bowlers.
Hampshire Predicted Playing 11
James Vince (c), Colin Munro, Sam Northeast, Rilee Rossouw, Tom Alsop (wk), Liam Dawson, Joe Weatherley, Kyle Abbott, Chris Wood, Ryan Stevenson, Mujeeb Ur Rahman
