Vitality T20 Blast 2023, Essex vs Glamorgan: Probable XIs, Match Prediction, Pitch Report, Weather Forecast and Live Streaming Details

Essex and Glamorgan will take on each other during the 78th match of the 2023 Vitality T20 Blast edition on June 16 at 11:30 PM IST. This is a South Group fixture that will be played at County Cricket Ground in Chelmsford.

Essex have currently claimed the fourth spot in the points table with only two defeats to their name in the last seven matches. Their NRR currently stands at 0.144. They have successfully managed to turn the tide in the last three games and have beaten Glamorgan before in their last fixture.

Although they were able to break their losing streak against Middlesex on June 8, they again faltered badly against Surrey as they crashed out by a whopping margin of 124 runs.

Glamorgan are slightly behind in the race as they find themselves ranked at the number 5 position with four wins in their last seven games. Their NRR stands at a dismal low of -0.488. They have previously been bamboozled by Essex in their proceeding fixture by a whopping 51 runs. That defeat would certainly be stinging them as they approach this fixture.

Essex vs Glamorgan Pitch Report

The Country Cricket Ground at Chelmsford is a belter of track and teams have repeatedly posted high scores on this venue. The surface is hard and flat and bowlers may have a nightmare containing the flow of runs. The average first innings score here is 176 and the teams chasing in the second innings have emerged victorious on more occasions.

So any skipper who wins the toss should opt to field first as the deck is expected to favor the side batting second.
