The Gloucs are coming into the game with a 56-run win over Yorkshire. Batting first, they scored 217 runs for the loss of 6 wickets. D Arcy Short scored 82 off 50 balls with 7 fours and 5 sixes. In return, they restricted Yorkshire to 161. Short showed his bowling skills, picking up 4 wickets, while Jansen picked up 3 for 22.
Miles Hammond will open the innings with D Arcy Short. Hammond scored 13 in the last game. He has 94 runs in 4 games. Short is once again proving himself to be the backbone of the Gloucs.

He also picked up 4 wickets in the last game.

Skipper Jack Taylor will come in the middle with Ben Charlesworth, Kamran Dhariwal, and James Bracey. The Gloucs’ middle order has scored just 164 runs in the first 4 games at an average of 15.

Winning Prediction
Though Gloucestershire has three wins in 4 games, they are heavily dependent on Short to score at the top. They have a better bowling unit than Somerset. But let's not forget that Somerset are the defending champions and have beaten Gloucestershire on the last two occasions.
We predict that Somerset will defeat Gloucestershire.
