Who will win Gloucestershire vs Hampshire, Vitality Blast 2019?
Gloucestershire and Hampshire face each other at Bristol’s County Ground in the South Group of the 2019 Vitality Blast. The match takes place on August 13 and the live action begins at 18:30 local time.
Gloucestershire had won back-to-back games before defeat to Middlesex last time out, and know they need to get back to winning ways to stay firmly in quarter-final contention in the south group. They have won three and lost three so far.
Hampshire have also won three, but two defeats in their last two games – including a punishing loss against Somerset – means they have now lost four in total. They are a two points and one place behind Gloucestershire, and defeat in this game would give them a mountain to climb if they are to reach the top four.
