GLO vs SOM Team Previews
Gloucestershire
So far, the Gloucestershire team has not had a great outing in the Vitality T20 Blast competition this year, but they have not done too badly, either. They have collected three wins from seven games with three losses. As a result, they have seven points and are currently lying in fifth position in the South Group points table. They have a net run rate of +0.128. The good news for Gloucestershire in this contest is that they are going into this encounter after two wins over Kent and Glamorgan.
In their last game of the competition, they took on Glamorgan at Cardiff. Glamorgan batted first to score 140 runs for the loss of six wickets in their twenty overs. The Gloucestershire batters made heavy weather of this modest chase but got there in the end on the last ball of the contest to record a narrow two-wicket win. Matt Taylor was the top bowler for Gloucestershire, scoring three wickets from four overs, and the top batter for them was skipper Jack Taylor, who scored a splendid 70 from 48 balls with five sixes.
