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

Glamorgan returns to Sophia Gardens aiming to bounce back after a narrow 7-run loss to Surrey, where their bowlers impressed but the batters faltered under pressure. Daniel Douthwaite was the standout with 3/30, while Hayden Kerr and Mason Crane kept things tight. Kiran Carlson and Ben Kellaway offered sparks with the bat, but the middle order lacked fluency and failed to finish the chase. Glamorgan’s batting depth will be tested again, though home familiarity and a well-rounded bowling attack give them a slight edge.

Essex, meanwhile, are struggling at the foot of the table with two consecutive defeats and a concerning -3.777 NRR. Their latest outing against Somerset exposed both bowling and batting frailties. Despite Dean Elgar’s explosive 50 and a brisk start from Rossington, the innings fell apart quickly as the lower order crumbled to 148 all out. The bowling attack, spearheaded by Mohammad Amir and Sam Cook, was wayward and ineffective as Somerset cruised to a 15.5-over chase. Captain Simon Harmer needs more control from his spinners and greater discipline with field settings if Essex are to halt the slide.

Sophia Gardens generally rewards teams that bowl well in the powerplay and finish strong at the death. Essex's form suggests they're vulnerable in both phases, which could be exploited by Glamorgan’s balanced pace-spin attack.

Bet on Glamorgan to win.
