GLA vs HAM Match Preview
Glamorgan are coming off a hard-fought loss in their last match against Essex by 2 wickets at Chelmsford. The major problem for Glamorgan has been their top order, who haven’t provided good starts in the competition. Sam Northeast (142 runs) and Mason Crane (10 wickets) are the top performers for Glamorgan in the season.
Glamorgan are currently positioned fifth in the South Group with two wins and two losses in four matches. A win here will result in them entering the top four spot. At their home ground in Cardiff Glamorgan has won and lost one game apiece.
Hampshire, on the other hand, have been struggling to find some form, especially with the bat, in which they have struggled to score runs in the powerplay overs this season. In the last match, they lost to Somerset by a margin of 63 runs. Their bowlers have pretty much done the job and secured them two wins.
A huge loss in their last game has now affected their net run rate and resulted in them dropping down to seventh position on the South Group points table with two wins and two losses in four matches. Joe Weatherley (124 runs), Toby Albert (104 runs), Christian Wood (6 wickets), and Michael Neser (6 wickets) are the top performers for Hampshire in the competition so far and they could be game changers in today’s GLA vs HAM Dream11 team.
