Middlesex are favorites to win
Middlesex will take on Gloucestershire at Merchant Taylor’s School Ground, Northwood. This T20 match gets underway at 14:30 local time on Monday 29th May.
Their record so far in the tournament is played two and lost two after heavy defeats against both Surrey (by 73 runs) and Hampshire Hawks (by 8 wickets). Gloucestershire are not one of the strongest teams in the South Group and this is a good opportunity for Middlesex to win.
Middlesex have posted totals of 126 and 171 so far in the competition with the higher score coming in the last game against Hampshire Hawks at the Rose Bowl. Their two most experienced T20 batters, Steve Eskinazi (31 runs) and Pieter Malan (80 runs) top scored in the last game.
Luke Hollman and Nathan Fernandes both took a wicket each on Friday in Southampton. After taking three wickets against Surrey, Tom Helm went wicketless against Hampshire Hawks and last year’s leading wicket taker for the side, Martin Andersson, has only one dismissal so far.
Middlesex have been completely outplayed in both of their games so far this season and need their top players to put in high level performances in this game.
After losing to Kent Spitfires by 7 wickets in their season opener, Gloucestershire were beaten by 2 wickets, with 5 balls remaining, at home in Bristol on Friday evening. It was a bowler friendly game with 17 wickets falling across both sides.
Ben Charlesworth top scored from number six in the batting order making 56 runs from 39 balls against Glamorgan. There were also useful contributions from Oliver Price (37 runs from 31 balls) and Graeme van Buuren (32 not out from 19 balls).
England international David Payne produced an excellent display of left-arm swing bowling on Friday and finished with very impressive figures of 3-17 from his four overs. Matt Taylor and Oliver Price both come into this match after taking two wickets in the last game.
Gloucestershire very nearly got over the winning line against Glamorgan but have underperformed with the bat in both of their fixtures so far.
This Vitality T20 Blast game will be played at Merchant Taylor’s School Ground, Northwood. There are small boundaries at this ground but there will be assistance for the bowlers.

With both teams losing two out of two so far in the 2023 Vitality Blast, and neither wanting to make it three from three, we expect both sides to play in an attacking manner in this game. Gloucestershire’s batting has been disappointing in each game and we expect that to be a problem again. Our prediction is for Middlesex to win.
