Middlesex vs Gloucestershire Chance of Winning
Middlesex and Gloucestershire are the seventh and eighth-ranked teams in the nine-team South Group T20 Blast 2025 table. Gloucestershire will have a better chance of beating Middlesex in Friday's fixture. Gloucestershire have traditionally held an upper hand against Middlesex in the T20 Blast. Four wins in the last five games against them in the T20 Blast proves the same.
Gloucestershire picked up their batting performance after back-to-back five defeats, and so did their bowlers.The result was four wins on the trot. On the other hand, Middlesex have just lost the plot since the very beginning.Just two wins in ten matches tells a sad story. They have managed just one win in their last six games. The win which came three matches ago came by a narrow one-run margin. The batting unit has collapsed despite some big names, and bowlers have found it difficult to defend some high totals as well. Having lost three matches in a row, Middlesex are under the pump, and Gloucestershire would eye their fifth victory of the season on Friday.
