English One Day Cup 2021, Group 1: GLA vs SUR Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update

Preview:

Glamorgan will take on Surrey in the Group 1 contest of the English One Day Cup on Tuesday. Glamorgan started well with 2 impressive wins against Warwickshire and Northamptonshire. However, they would have been gutted to lose by a mere one-run margin against Somerset. With 2 wins, one loss, and a no result, they are occupying the 4^th spot in the standings with 5 points.

Meanwhile, Surrey’s hopes of winning three matches in a row was spoiled by rain against Northamptonshire. A lot of credit has to be given for the way they played in the initial two matches against quality opponents in Yorkshire and Nottinghamshire. They are holding the 3^rd spot in the Group 1 standings with 5 points.
