Cricket Prediction | GLO vs SOM | Vitality Blast Men 2025 | South Group | June 13 – Will Somerset Stay Unbeaten?

GLO vs SOM Match Analysis

 

The age-old rivalry in the South Group is back on as Gloucestershire take on Somerset at Bristol’s County Ground this June 13. The evening clash promises high-voltage action with the first ball scheduled to be bowled at 6:30 PM local time.

 

There’s a blend of optimism and urgency as Gloucestershire steps into this contest. Their batting has looked brittle in recent outings, but the team boasts experienced campaigners like Cameron Bancroft and Chris Dent.

 

Somerset, on the other hand, is riding high on momentum. With firepower at both ends of the innings and all-rounders like Shakib Al Hasan and Lewis Gregory in the mix, they look a more balanced unit.

 

Gloucestershire vs Somerset Team Preview & Squads

 

Gloucestershire

 

Jack Taylor, the captain of GLO, is an experienced leader with years of county cricket under his belt. He brings a calm head and tactical nous to the field, often playing a dual role as a middle-order batsman and part-time spinner.

 

The batting line-up is anchored by Cameron Bancroft and James Bracey, both capable of anchoring or accelerating the innings. Chris Dent and Miles Hammond add experience and stability at the top, but recent form suggests vulnerability under pressure.

 

GLO pace attack, featuring David Payne, Marchant de Lange, and Matt Taylor, has potential but has lacked consistency. Zafar Gohar and Tom Smith provide the spin options, though they haven’t yet found rhythm in this season.

 

Gloucestershire struggled in their previous outing against Hampshire, managing only 119 runs. Their batting crumbled under tight bowling, with only a few batters reaching double figures. Hampshire chased the target comfortably, finishing the game in just 15 overs with 30 balls to spare. This loss highlighted Gloucestershire’s struggles in both departments.

Somerset

 

Lewis Gregory leads SOM with aggressive intent and the ability to contribute significantly with both bat and ball. A natural all-rounder, Gregory sets the tone with his fearless approach and leads from the front.

 

Somerset’s batting is a powerhouse, featuring Tom Banton, Will Smeed, and Tom Kohler-Cadmore at the top. Shakib Al Hasan and Tom Abell solidify the middle order, providing flexibility and finishing strength. With such depth, they can afford to go hard from ball one.

 

The bowling unit is equally dangerous, with Craig Overton, Riley Meredith, and Josh Davey forming a fiery pace trio. Shakib Al Hasan and Roelof van der Merwe provide experienced spin options. Their variety in attack gives them the edge in defending or restricting totals.

 

In their last game, SOM outclassed Sussex by 7 wickets while chasing 167. Their bowlers restricted Sussex to 166/8, with disciplined death-over bowling. The chase was anchored smartly by Tom Banton and Lewis Goldsworthy, finishing the game with 12 balls in hand. This victory solidified their top-half positioning in the group table.

GLO vs SOM Outfield Report

County Ground, Bristol

 

The surface at Bristol usually favors batters early on but tends to slow down as the game progresses. Under the lights, spinners might get that extra bite, particularly in the second innings. However, quick bowlers who hit the deck hard can also make an impact with variable bounce.

 

The forecast for June 13 shows clear skies with minimal chances of rain. The temperature is expected to hover around 18°C in the evening, with a mild breeze adding a chill to the conditions. In the second innings, dew could tilt the balance in favor of the team batting second.

 

The average first-innings score at Bristol in the Blast is around 160–170. Teams batting first will aim to cross 175 to feel comfortable, while anything under 145 can be risky. Chasing sides generally have an edge here, especially with dew setting in later.
