Glamorgan are sitting in fourth place currently with six wins and six losses. They have been pretty steady all season, but have lacked the consistency to put together a few wins on the trot to surge ahead. The team has suffered two losses in a row and is in urgent need of a win to get back on track.
Colin Ingram has been their star with the bat, scoring 307 runs in 12 innings at an average of 25.58 and a strike rate of 153.50. Asa Tribe has provided him company in the middle, collecting 283 runs in 12 innings at an average of 40.42 and a strike rate of 159.
Captain Kiran Carlson and William Smale have chipped in with vital contributions at the top as well, and give this batting unit some stability.
In the bowling department, Mason Crane has been the standout with 17 wickets in nine matches at an economy of 8.05. Daniel Douthwaite and Ned Leonard have also been excellent, taking 15 and 16 wickets, respectively. This bowling unit has done a pretty solid job so far and will need to continue that momentum in the final leg of the tournament.
Glamorgan Powerplay Score Over 50.5 1.80
Glamorgan has been strong in the powerplay (the first six overs) at their home ground, Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, this season, averaging 53.4 runs. They've been particularly good recently, scoring over 50 runs in three of their last five home matches. Because of their good hitting form at home, we're predicting Glamorgan will score over 50 runs in the first six overs against Gloucestershire today.

Gloucestershire had a poor start to the season, losing five on the trot to be stuck at the bottom of the table. Their second half has been better, with four wins from their next six matches. However, two losses on the trot now have them in seventh place with a poor net run rate of -0.904.
Their batting has been pretty steady, with three batters having scored over 240 runs for the season. D’Arcy Short leads the pack with 408 runs in 11 innings at an average of 37.09 and a strike rate of 135.09.
Miles Hammond and Jack Taylor have provided strength to the batting unit with their consistency, while Oliver Price and Cameron Bancroft have had their part to play as well.
Among the bowlers, David Payne has been the standout with 14 scalps in 11 matches at an economy of 6.30. Josh Shaw and Ajeet Dale have accounted for 23 wickets combined, while the others haven’t done much. So, this attack is primarily dependent on its three in-form bowlers. All they need is to perform as a unit.
D'Arcy Short Total Runs Over 22.5 1.85
D'Arcy Short has been in excellent form this season, scoring 408 runs in 11 matches with an average of 37. After a slow start, he's become Gloucestershire's most important batsman at the top of the order. His recent scores of 64, 70, 83, 33, and 49 show just how consistent he's been. He's a sure bet to score over 22 runs in today's match at Cardiff.

Early movement with the new ball can trouble openers at Sophia Gardens, especially under cloud cover. Batting gets easier once the ball softens, but timing is still important due to the slower surface. Spinners often find grip, particularly in the middle overs, and cutters work well for seamers.
The weather in Cardiff will be mostly sunny and warm on Sunday, and we should hence get a full game.

Glamorgan to win the coin toss 1.95
We back the home team Glamorgan to win the coin toss in the 110th match of the Vitality T20 Blast 2025 against Gloucestershire.
Three of the five matches played at Sophia Gardens in the 2025 T20 Blast have been won by the side chasing. It’s clearly favouring the chasing side, and hence we expect the captain winning the toss to opt to field first.
Glamorgan and Gloucestershire both have had an up-and-down season. Glamorgan have been inconsistent for the most part and have failed to put together more than two wins on the trot. Meanwhile, Gloucestershire have had patches of brilliance where they have blazed past teams, but have then succumbed to deflating losses. So, this one’s a close call, but based on their overall performance this season, Glamorgan seem like the safer bet.
Back Glamorgan as the winners of this match.
