The win against Hampshire would have kept their hopes alive of making it to the next stage of the competition. Gloucestershire innings did not get off to a great start with the early loss of Grant Roelofsen.

Glamorgan is also going into this game after a loss against Essex. They did make a good start to their inning by reaching 55 for 1. But this start was dented by Carlson and Ingram who fell in successive overs allowing Essex to take control of the match in the middle overs. After 15 overs, Glamorgan had reached 122 runs for the loss of 4 wickets. In the 18th over of the Glamorgan innings, Timm van der Gugten hammered Harmer for a couple of sixes to push the Glamorgan total higher. Gugten was eventually run out after a hard-smacking 33 from 14 balls.

Glamorgan ended up setting a score of 175 for the loss of 6 wickets. The Gloucestershire bowling started well picking up 3 early wickets. But Khushi had other plans for the evening as he raced to 33 runs from 11 balls. He later dropped the foot on the accelerator to score fifty from 29 balls. Walter joined hands with Khushi to realize an 80-run stand from 47 balls. This was a third useful contribution by Walter against Glamorgan. He hit 42 runs. After these two were dismissed, Glamorgan saw a glimmer of hope but it was quickly dashed by Sams and Critchley who ensured that the result was in their favor.
