T20 Blast 2022 | GLA vs HAM | Preview, Prediction, Probable XI, CREX XI

Glamorgan will square off against Hampshire in a South Group fixture of the T20 Blast 2022 at the Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on Friday (June 10).  

Both teams haven't had the best of starts to the season as they are placed in the bottom half of the South Group points table. Glamorgan have played seven matches so far, winning just two and losing four, with one of their matches being abandoned due to rain. 

They lost their most recent encounter against Gloucestershire by 5 wickets. After putting to bat first, the David Lloyd-led side posted 158/8 in the allotted 20 overs, which their bowlers failed to defend as Gloucestershire chased down the score in the 19th over. 

On the other hand, Hampshire acquired momentum at the right time of the tournament. After starting off the season with four consecutive losses, the James Vince-led side bounced back stronger to claim three consecutive wins. 

They currently occupy the sixth spot in the South Group points tally and are heading into this game on the back of a 32-run victory over Essex. Hampshire posted 155 on the board after opting to bat first. 

They successfully defended the score as Essex got bundled out for a mere 123 runs. James Fuller was the pick of the bowlers as he bagged a four-wicket haul to break the backbone of the Essex batting lineup.
