Gloucestershire vs Northamptonshire Steelbacks prediction

Gloucestershire have won five with two defeats in their seven T20 Blast matches so far. The west country outfit come into this one on the back of a narrow 18-run loss to local rivals Somerset in their most recent outing at the weekend at Taunton.

Coached by Darren Lehmann, the Northamptonshire Steelbacks kept up their 100% record in the Blast the other day with a remarkable 130-run hammering of the Essex Eagles with 238-6 struck before they skittled Essex out for 108.

Northants are playing exceptionally well at the moment and they would have to be viewed as the firm favourites to win this one in Bristol, too.
