THE LOWDOWN
Gloucestershire’s ten-run defeat to Middlesex made it back-to-back defeats for the home team after their west country derby loss to Somerset the night before that match last week. They had been on a run of three successive victories prior to that. They come up against a Middlesex side that have slightly improved in recent Blast matches but they remain one of, if not the, weakest side in the competition.
THE PREDICTION
This is a match between one side that will expect to confirm their qualification to the knockout stage and one side that have been woeful for the majority of the competition. The form of Glenn Phillips and Benny Howell for the home team has led them into an imposing position as they come into this match as the fairly comfortable favourites.
