ESS vs GLA Match Prediction : T20 Blast 2025 – Who Will Win Today’s Match Between ESS vs GLA?

Essex enters this South Group encounter in desperate need of a turnaround, having lost all four of their opening fixtures. Their latest defeat against Middlesex highlighted ongoing batting frailties. Despite a bright start from Adam Rossington (31 off 17) and Dean Elgar (32 off 22), Essex stumbled badly, losing wickets in clusters and eventually finishing at 156/9.

The middle-order continues to underperform, with Michael Pepper, Charlie Allison, and Matthew Critchley failing to contribute meaningful runs. The bowling attack, led by Simon Harmer, has also struggled to deliver breakthroughs at key moments, while Mohammad Amir's lack of penetration with the new ball remains a concern. Essex must quickly find balance in both departments to stay alive in the competition.

Glamorgan, on the other hand, suffered a heavy 78-run loss to Sussex in their last outing but remain better positioned in the table with two wins from four games. The batting unit crumbled while chasing 196, folding for just 117 in 15.2 overs. Captain Kiran Carlson and keeper-batter William Smale were the only ones to reach double figures in the top order.

Their bowling also lacked control, with the experienced van der Gugten and Jamie McIlroy providing some resistance, while others leaked runs under pressure. Despite the defeat, Glamorgan’s earlier performances suggest they are a more settled side than Essex at present. A stronger middle-order display, led by Chris Cooke and Colin Ingram, will be key if they want to secure two valuable points on the road.

Bet on Glamorgan to win.
