glam vs sur Match Prediction & Analysis

Host Glamorgan is going to face uphill battle when they take on Surrey in the South Group of Vitality T20 Blast competition at Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Tuesday.

Glamorgan has suffered from inconsistency so far this season. With two wins out of nine matches played this season, the side will have to raise their game to beat Surrey in this contest.

On the other hand, Surrey have played excellent cricket so far this season and will surely qualify for the knockout stages of Vitality T20 Blast. A win against Glamorgan could see them clinch top spot in the South Group.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Glamorgan Preview

Captain Chris Cooke will be hoping that the side can produce a collective effort with the bat against Surrey.

Marnus Labuschagne have been sidelined after Nicholas Selman was tested positive for covid-19. Labuschagne has been suspected to be close contract with Selman during the past few days.

With their premier batsman out of this game, the onus will be on the likes of Colin Ingram and David Lloyd to deliver the bulk of the runs.

Former South African batsman Colin Ingram has been a disappointment with the bat so far this season. The left-hander has struggled to make an impact and scored only 122 runs in seven outings at an average of 20.33. The team management will be hoping that Ingram can find form with the bat in this home fixture.

In the previous fixture, the side was reeling at 76 for 6 after 11.4 overs. Lower-order duo of Daniel Douthwaite and James Weighell produced a spectacular performance and delivered 88-run partnership for the seventh wicket.

Due to splendid half-centuries from Douthwaite and Weighell, Glamorgan managed to post a respectable total of 170 runs in their allotted 20 overs.

In the bowling department, the side will be relying on Daniel Douthwaite, Prem Sisodiya and Tim van der Gugten to deliver timely breakthroughs.

Glamorgan Predicted Playing XI:

Colin Ingram, Chris Cooke (c & wk), David Lloyd, Roman Walker, Kiran Carlson, Billy Root, Callum Taylor, Daniel Douthwaite, James Weighell, Timm van der Gugten, Prem Sisodiya

Surrey Preview

Inaugural T20 Blast Champions will be keen to continue their good form in this fixture. Captain Gareth Batty will be frustrated after their previous game against Sussex was abandoned due to heavy rains.

In the batting department, the onus will be on the likes of Will Jacks, James Smith and Laurie Evans to deliver the bulk of the runs.

In the previous game, Jamie Smith was the star of the show with the bat against Sussex. He notched up his first half-century of the T20 Blast competition this season. Smith played well and finished the innings with the top-score of 57 runs off 43 balls with the help of two fours and two sixes. He was well supported by Laurie Evans and Jamie Overton, who chipped in with scores of 31 and 28 respectively.

In the bowling department, the onus will be on the likes of Kyle Jamieson, Jamie Overton and Dan Moriarty to deliver crucial breakthroughs.

Gareth Batty (c), Will Jacks, Jamie Smith (wk), Laurie Evans, Ollie Pope, Rory Burns, Jordan Clark, Jamie Overton, Kyle Jamieson, Gus Atkinson, Daniel Moriarty
