GLO vs SOM: Fan2Play Fantasy Cricket Tips, Playing 11, Pitch Report and Injury Update for T20 Blast 2021, South Group

Match Details

Gloucestershire will take on Somerset in the upcoming South Group clash of T20 Blast 2021. This match will be played at the County Ground in Bristol.

This clash will be held on Thursday (July 1) and will commence at 11:00 PM IST.

Preview

Both teams have been pretty impressive this season and it would be interesting to see who emerges victorious in this clash. Gloucestershire have performed well as a unit and subsequently won five of their nine games. Notably, two of their fixtures got washed out due to rain. The Jack Taylor-led side is currently second in the South Group team standings, but a win in this fixture would see them toppling Kent at the top.

On the other hand, Somerset have also not done much wrong. With four wins in nine outings, they are holding fifth place in the points table but would be determined to go up. Notably, three of their games have been washed out due to rain. Somerset will head into this game on the back of a six-wicket loss against Essex and it would be interesting to see whether they will be able to bounce back.

Captaincy Picks for GLO vs SOM

Glenn Phillips

The New Zealand dasher has been on a roll this season and would possess a massive threat to Sussex bowlers. Phillips likes to take on the bowlers from the outset and his ability to play long knocks makes him even more lethal. In fact, the right-handed batsman is currently the leading run-getter of the tournament, having scored 360 runs in seven games.
