Gloucestershire vs Sussex Match Winner Prediction
Sussex look slightly stronger than Gloucestershire for the next Vitality Blast game. The Sharks have already beaten Gloucs by 80 runs this season, with opener Tom Alsop scoring freely and Tymal Mills leading a sharp bowling attack. Although Sussex slipped up against Essex last week, their top order still shows more consistency than Gloucestershire's, and they remain in the hunt for a quarter-final place.
Gloucestershire, meanwhile, have dropped three of their last four matches. This includes a 23-run defeat to a struggling Middlesex side. Moreover, their batting keeps collapsing under pressure. If Sussex can continue good wicket taking form in the powerplay overs and some resilience from their middle-order batters, they should edge this contest.
Our Prediction - Sussex to Win!
