Glamorgan travel to Bristol on Tuesday, July 25th to meet Gloucestershire in their next contest in the NatWest T20 Blast, with the match scheduled to commence at 6.30pm
Despite their rain-affected matches at Cardiff on Friday and Sunday, Glamorgan are in third place in the table with Gloucestershire in second spot and also seeking a top four place in the table and a place in the quarter-finals of the competition, with the winners of Tuesday’s game also having a chance to leapfrog Surrey into first place.
The Welsh county’s visit to Bristol last summer saw them win by six wickets after a fine bowling performance had restricted the home side to 168/6, before Colin Ingram posted an assertive half-century to see Glamorgan to a comprehensive victory.
The game in 2015 at Gloucestershire’s headquarters between the two teams was a high-scoring affair with each captain, Jacques Rudolph and Michael Klinger, posting an unbeaten hundred. But it was the efforts of the Glamorgan leader, and his maiden Twenty20 century, who held sway as the Welsh county won by 19 runs
The weather had been the only winner at Bristol in 2014 during a rain-affected contest which was declared a no result after a heavy thunderstorm flooded the outfield at the County Ground shortly after the home side had posted 207/3 in their 20 overs. Glamorgan however re-addressed things six weeks later as they won the return game at Cardiff by eight wickets to clinch a place in the quarter-finals of the competition.
Their overwhelming victory at Cardiff in 2014 helped to erase the memories of the previous year when the West Country side proved to be Glamorgan’s nemesis in the competition with Gloucestershire winning at Cheltenham College by ten wickets before posting a nine-wicket win at the Welsh county’s headquarters nine days later.
