Gloucestershire have had a strong and competitive T20 Blast 2026 campaign so far. They have secured several impressive victories, including wins over Warwickshire, Glamorgan, Yorkshire, Somerset, and Worcestershire, total 5 wins and 2 losses in 7 games.
Their home form has been particularly encouraging as they push for a top-four finish in the South Group.
Gloucestershire’s batting is led by explosive batting talents. Australian batter D’Arcy Short has been in sublime form with 235 runs in 7 innings. He has a strike rate of 163.19 and average of 33.57. He has scored three half-centuries and his best score is 82 off 50 balls vs Yorkshire.
Ben Charlesworth (150 runs in 6 innings), Miles Hammond (147 runs in 7 innings), and Jack Taylor (133 runs in 7 innings) provide excellent middle-order stability, but there is still need for extra edge in that batting line-up.
The bowling attack has been highly effective. Duan Jansen leads the way with 16 wickets in 6 matches, while Marchant de Lange has taken 10 wickets in 7 matches. They are supported by D’Arcy Short (7 wickets in 5 matches), Craig Miles (6 wickets), and others.

On Tuesday, July 1 in Bristol, expect a mild and pleasant day with highs around 21-23°C and lows near 13-15°C. Skies will feature sunny intervals mixed with some cloud and a moderate breeze. A small chance of light showers cannot be ruled out, but most of the day looks dry.
The pitch at County Ground, Bristol is generally batting-friendly and known for high-scoring T20 games. It offers good pace, true bounce, and carry, allowing batters to play their shots freely. The short boundaries, especially square of the wicket, help big hitters. Pacers get some swing and seam movement with the new ball, particularly if there's cloud cover, while spinners can find grip in the middle overs.
The captain who wins the toss would most likely bowl first. In T20 cricket, particularly in England, teams often prefer to bowl first as the surface at the start of a game has more help for the pacers and as the game goes on, with a target on the board, chasing is somewhat easier.
Northamptonshire are strong favorites to beat Gloucestershire. The only unbeaten side, Northants boast explosive batting from Chris Lynn (320 runs, SR 180) and David Willey, plus a seriously impressive bowling attack led by James Sales (17 wickets) and Calvin Harrison. Gloucestershire rely on D’Arcy Short and Duan Jansen (16 wickets) but face a tough task against the in-form visitors.
