Essex will be up against Glamorgan in a South Group T20 Blast 2021 fixture at the County Ground in Chelmsford on Thursday. Both teams have been pretty inconsistent in the competition and find themselves in the bottom half of the points table.

Essex endured a stuttering start to their T20 Blast campaign, losing three out of their first four games. However, they have been in decent form in recent games, winning three out of their last four fixtures. With nine points, Essex are placed sixth in the South Group standings. The Simon Harmer-led side, who beat Somerset by six wickets via the Duckworth-Lewis method in their last match, will be hoping to extend their winning momentum when they lock horns with Glamorgan.

Speaking of Glamorgan, with eight points in their kitty, they are just a point and a place behind their next opponents in seventh. The Chris Cooke-led side have played 10 games so far, winning three and losing five, while two of their matches were abandoned due to rain. Glamorgan, who have been pretty inconsistent in the T20 Blast this season, beat table-toppers Surrey by just one run in their last outing.
