MID vs GLO: Dream11 Team
· Wicket-keeper: Stephen Eskinazi
· Batters: Kane Williamson (Vice Captain), Miles Hammond, Jack Taylor, Max Holden
· All-rounders: Darcy Short (Captain), Oliver Price, Luke Hollman, Ryan Higgins
· Bowlers: David Payne, Tom Helm
Dream11 Prediction: This is the second game between the two sides this week. Earlier they faced each other on July 9, and Gloucestershire won that game by nine wickets. Middlesex are struggling with the form. They are not able to get consistent with the form of batters and bowlers.
Gloucestershire still have some good contributions from their players. The only thing to worry about is their bowling, which has leaked runs. If they can somehow contain the opposition batter, this could be a good game for them. But because of the mind-blowing record against Middlesex, Gloucestershire will start this game as favorites.
