The rivalry between these two teams is very old. Both of the teams showed a mediocre performance in last years T20 tournament. Gloucestershire, however, had always had an edge over Essex. It is evident from their recent encounter too where their opponent defeated them by 4 wickets in an ODI match. However, Essex has seemed to learn a lot of lesson from the previous match and willing to give a tough battle to Gloucestershire. So the question arises generically in our mind, Can Essex Eagles snatch victory form Gloucestershire this time?

Can Essex Eagles snatch victory from Gloucestershire? Essex vs Gloucestershire SG Vitality Blast T20 2019

So before the match, we are going to tell you about the star layers of these teams.

Essex:

Mohammad Amir

Mohammad Amir

This Pakistani ‘Bad Boy’ showed an amazing performance in CWC19. He was one of the top wicket-takers. Amir was the lone star in the Pakistan bowling mediocrity. He has an impressive record in T20 cricket as well and had played a lot of matches. Essex will rely on heavily on this bowler. Hopefully, he will not be going to be disappointing Essex fans.

Varun Chopra

Varun Chopra

Varun Chopra performance excels in T20 cricket all the time. He is a very good batsman who can pile up a lot of runs for his team anytime he wants to. During the last match against Gloucestershire, he played a mesmerizing inning of 156 runs! Though that time his team lost, it was his performance alone that made his team put their head upright after the defeat. We expect he will shine more brightly on Saturday.

Gloucestershire:

James Bracey

James Bracey

James Robert Bracey- the wicketkeeper/batsman of Gloucestershire academy made his first debut in May 2016. So you can say he is a newbie in cricket. By don’t get fooled by his presence in this game. He is a very talented batsman. He played an unbeaten inning of 113 runs from 93 balls and brought victory for his team. He is also a good wicketkeeper as well. We think he will prove himself as a vital force for his team.

Michael Klinger

Michael Klinger

Klinger is a very fine right-handed top-order batsman and current captain of Gloucestershire. He has a solid domestic record. Klinger’s exploits in Australia earned him an IPL contract in 2011 with the Kochi Tuskers Kerala for whom he played a few games. Moreover, he is already the highest run-scorer in Big Bash League history. So hopefully you got a clear idea by now about this veteran player. He is determined to see his team victorious.

In a nutshell, it can be said that though both of the teams are not well-positioned up at the top, we hope that they will be able to show us some good sportsmanship.
