Northamptonshire vs Glamorgan, Royal London One-Day Cup, Today Match Prediction 25 July 2021

north vs glam Match Prediction & Analysis

Royal London One-Day Cup is up and running despite missing a host of players to other tournaments this season. Already 50 players have made their List-A debuts for their respective franchises in just 6 matches. Glamorgan handed out caps to 4 debutants and they made good contributions in crunch moments to help their team win in a hard fought game. Northamptonshire will look to put their best foot forward in the tournament with an early victory but they need to face a spirited team on the opposite side.

TEAMS PREVIEW

Northamptonshire Preview

Northamptonshire scored an above par score of 308 runs in their warm up fixture. Emilia Gay scored his a century with Saif Zaib (63 runs) and Tom Taylor (43 runs) playing crucial knocks for the team. Ben Curran (28 runs) and Charlie Thurston (20 runs) looked good for their small cameos last night.

Tom Taylor and Simon Kerrigan are expected to lead the pace attack with the likes of Jack White and Gus Miller for company. Graeme White will take control of the spin department with young debutant wrist spinner Freddie Hilderich. They have a variety of bowling options with a couple of other part-timers having the ability to chip crucial overs.

Top players to bet on:

Emilia Gay – Gay scored his first century in the first division last game and will be high on confidence after his knock. We expect him to make a big score in this match too.

Freddie Hilderich – Freddie bamboozled the batsmen with his turn and bounce in the warm-up game to claim 4 wickets. But, he gave a few loose deliveries often and gave runs at nearly 8 RPO is a bit of concern from his side.

Northamptonshire Predicted Playing XI:

Emilia Gay, Saif Zaib, Tom Taylor, Ben Curran, Charlie Thurston, Graeme White (C), Freddie Hilderich, Simon Kerrigan, Jack White, Gus Miller, Harry Gouldstone (Wk)

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

Northampton is expected to have rain by 80% chances as per weather forecasters and we expect a big overs reduction or a washed way game here.   

Venue Details

Northampton is a pretty placid track where the pitch might be a little double paced at times. Spinners might enjoy the slowness and uneven bounce on this track. We expect scores around 230-250 runs in this match.

Toss: To Bowl

Chasing is the best option with rain threat looming and DLS consideration coming into the picture on the match day.
