GLO vs NOR Dream11 Prediction, Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing XI, Pitch Report & Injury Updates For English One Day Cup 2023, Match 9

Gloucestershire (GLO) and Northamptonshire (NOR) are set to clash in the 9th match of the English One Day Cup 2023 at College Ground in Cheltenham on August 4. Gloucestershire have started on a winning note, and most of their key players look to be in great touch. Harry Tector's innings was a huge positive for the team in the first game. The Ireland batter scored 84 off 69 balls at number four after coming in to bat when Gloucestershire were two down for 16 runs. Tector and Oliver Price added 142 runs for the third wicket, which changed the game'sgame's course. The 24-year-old right-arm medium pacer Zaman Akhter picked three for 56 in the last game, making his mark in the Gloucestershire bowling attack. Paul van Meekeren and Zafar Gohar will be the key bowlers leading this attack. Meekeren bagged four wickets, while Gohar finished with 1 for 30 from his ten overs, including three maiden overs. Gloucestershire have a solid overall side with reliable players in every department.

Northamptonshire are struggling in the Division One of the County Championship, and in the last season of the One-Day Cup, too, they finished at number eight. This is a great opportunity for the team to pull themselves up and deliver some remarkable performances that would catch the eye of the selectors in a World Cup year. The experienced bowlers in this side, Rob Keogh, Ben Sanderson, and Tom Taylor, are recovering from their injuries, and this could open a window for the young bowlers to make their mark. At the top, the openers Ricardo Vasconcelos and Emilio Gay delivered some significant performances last year. Gay scored more than 300 runs last season and has been in great form in the ongoing County Championship. He will be a key player to watch out for in this batting lineup. Will Young, the batting all-rounder from New Zealand, was the top-scorer for the side last year and has a crucial role at number three. Saif Zaib and the new skipper Lewis McManus are reliable batters in the middle order.
