Preview
Both these teams have blown hot and cold this season and would like to put up a substantial show in the upcoming contest. Essex were impressive in several games but winning consistently has been an issue for them. They are currently holding sixth place in the South Group team standings with four victories in just 10 games.
On the other hand, Glamorgan’s campaign has been even worse. Having won just three of their 10 games, the Chris Cooke-led side are seventh in the points table and would be determined to go up.
