TEAMS PREVIEW
Essex Preview
Gloucestershire have been unstoppable this season, winning six straight games to sit on top of the table. Their most recent outing saw them crush Nottinghamshire by 52 runs after putting up a massive 343-7.
The batting lineup has been the driving force behind Gloucestershire's hot streak this year. James Bracey has been outstanding as the opener, smashing 431 runs across six matches at 71.83 with a strike rate of 111. He just scored a brilliant 186 from 150 balls against Nottinghamshire and looks ready to give his side another quick start.
Cameron Bancroft has chipped in nicely too, collecting 277 runs from six outings at 55.40. The batting order looks solid with Ben Charlesworth and Oliver Price both doing their bit, each passing 250 runs so far.
Josh Shaw has spearheaded the bowling effort, claiming 11 scalps at an economy rate of 4.80. Graeme van Buuren and Matt Taylor have combined for 19 dismissals, proving this bowling unit has real depth.
Essex Predicted Playing XI:
Cameron Bancroft, Ben Charlesworth, James Bracey (wk), Oliver Price, Jack Taylor (c), Graeme van Buuren, Miles Hammond, Craig Miles, Josh Shaw, Matt Taylor, Daaryoush Ahmed

Gloucestershire Preview
After opening with three defeats in a row, Essex have flipped things around with three huge wins that moved them to fifth in the table. Their latest match saw them pummel Glamorgan by 190 runs after posting a monster 371-6, powered by big tons from Tom Westley (141 off 113) and Charlie Allison (131 off 113).
Westley sits on top of their batting stats with 351 runs in six outings at 58.50 and an explosive 110.37 strike rate. With one century and two half-centuries already banked, he'll likely be their main man again.
Luc Benkenstein and Matthew Critchley have added zip to the batting order and kept things moving at a good clip. Critchley holds extra value for Essex since he's also taken six wickets when given the ball.
Their bowling setup appears solid across the board. Luc Benkenstein and Jamie Porter have done the bulk of the work, claiming 15 wickets combined. Simon Harmer and Matthew Critchley have contributed as well. This attack has gotten stronger recently and should give most teams headaches.
Gloucestershire Predicted Playing XI:
Robin Das, Matthew Critchley, Tom Westley (c), Charlie Allison, Luc Benkenstein, Simon Harmer, Noah Thain, Simon Fernandes (wk), Shane Snater, Jamal Richards, Jamie Porter

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
Batsmen will find a great deck at County Ground, Chelmsford, where the surface tends to play fair for most of the innings. Early movement for seamers is possible under overcast skies, but the pitch settles into a consistent rhythm as the sun comes out. Spinners may extract some turn in the middle overs, especially if the track wears. The outfield is quick, and the boundaries will flow, so expect a big total to be posted. Teams will want to make the most of the first powerplay before the pitch slows slightly.
Chelmsford promises pleasant weather tomorrow, with times of clouds and sun.
ESS vs GLO Pitch Report
Each of the three games played at Chelmsford in the One-Day Cup this year has seen huge totals by the team batting first – 340-9, 371-6, and 417-6. This clearly suggests that the track is a beauty for batting, and the team batting first here will look to set a total in the range of 330-350 runs.
Toss: To Bowl
The numbers at Chelmsford are clear: all three games in the One-Day Cup 2025 have gone the way of the team that batted first. It’s a statistic that makes the decision straightforward for whoever wins the toss, with setting a total looking like the smart play.
ESS vs GLO
Winning Prediction
Essex versus Gloucestershire promises to be a cracker of a game as both teams head into the clash with great form. While Gloucestershire have been dominant all season, Essex have found a late surge and have stitched together three big wins. So, this contest can go down to the wire on a batting-friendly pitch, and the team that bowls better will come out on top. Do remember that the team batting first will be at an advantage. However, it’s hard to look past Gloucestershire on current form.
Gloucestershire are our picks for the winners of this clash.
