Gloucestershire and Lancashire are scheduled to take on each other from July 22 to 25, 2025, in the County Championship Division Two. The teams will take the field at College Ground, Cheltenham, at 3:30 PM IST.

Gloucestershire vs Lancashire Chances of Winning

Gloucestershire drew their third game in a rowas they faced Glamorgan in the previous match and posted 380 runs on the board while batting first. Wicket-keeper batter James Bracey top-scored with 133 runs while Zaman Akhter and Cameron Bancroft made valuable contributions of 58 and 50 runs, respectively. Although the score was perfectly defensible, the bowlers were too lax in their approach and ended up conceding 528 runs to the opposition. Gloucestershire’s batters struggled in the second innings with the bat where they were 255/7, and a lack of time resulted in a draw.

Lancashire, on the other hand,achieved their long awaited victory against Derbyshire, marking their first of the season. The Manchester-rooted team scored 367 runs while batting first with the help of Chris Green’s 121 and Keaton Jennings’ 106. The bowlers kept the opposition down to 261 which allowed the batters to further their lead with an additional 406 runs - this time, Ashton Turner’s unbeaten 121 was the top score while George Balderson, Michael Jones and Keaton Jennings scored half-centuries with 82, 63 and 58 runs, respectively. Their lead was substantial at this point and they did not have to break a sweat in order to take victory by a massive 261-run margin.

Gloucestershire vs Lancashire Betting Odds

Gloucestershire to have a better opening partnership than Lancashire

Cameron Bancroft and Joe Phillips have been mighty consistent for Gloucestershire’s first wicket this season and their scores in the last three matches are commendable,having secured totals of 77, 44, 68, 32, 41 and 27 runs. However, Lancashire’s opening order has been nearly equally competitive with stands of 5, 60, 119, 74 and 25 between Luke Wells and Keaton Jennings in the previous three encounters. Although both sides are strong in this regard, the bookmakers expect Gloucestershire’s openers to have the edge in the upcoming game.

Lancashire

Gloucestershire are a middling team in the competition at the moment as they currently stand fourth on the table with one win, two defeats and six draws. Lancashire are in a similar plane but they are a few spots lower in sixth position with the same results as their rivals. Although Gloucestershire have a powerful and consistent batting lineup, Lancashire have a 2-0 lead over their upcoming rivals in their last five head-to-head games, giving the latter the edge for this clash.
