Hampshire and Gloucestershire will face off in the Vitality T20 Blast 2023 on Sunday, 2nd July. The Rose Bowl at Southampton will host this exciting South Group Contest.
This will be the second time Hampshire will lock horns against Gloucestershire in this edition. Gloucestershire emerged as the winner in the previous meeting. The rain-hit match witnessed Gloucestershire chase down a reduced target of 84 in nine overs. Ben Wells starred with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 22-ball 43 for Gloucestershire.
