Preview:

Gloucestershire are in tremendous form at the moment, having won their last 3 matches. Glenn Phillips has been outstanding for them, having scored 360 runs in this tournament. As a unit, they have done extremely well so far and the results are proof of that. They are occupying the 3rd spot in the South Group standings with 12 points.

Meanwhile, Somerset’s three-match winning streak was ended by Essex on Tuesday. They were 15-20 runs short while setting up the target. They lack firepower in the middle and that is the only area they need to work on. With 4 wins, 3 losses, and 2 no results, they have placed themselves at the 5th spot in the standings with 10 points.
