Gloucestershire entertain Warwickshire at the County Ground in Bristol in the ninth match of the T20 Blast 2026. Reported dates for this game differ, so the date, start time and weather are not stated here.
Gloucestershire’s batting rests on D’Arcy Short, Cameron Bancroft, Miles Hammond, Ben Charlesworth and Graeme van Buuren, who are expected to supply stability through the top and middle order. David Payne, Ajeet Dale, Josh Shaw, Matt Taylor and Charlesworth are the main bowling options, charged with taking wickets at key moments.
Warwickshire, the 2014 T20 Blast champions, want to start well and build momentum. Sam Hain, Alex Davies, Dan Mousley, Robert Yates and Ed Barnard are the batters expected to score consistently. The attack features George Garton, Oliver Hannon-Dalby, Danny Briggs, Jake Lintott and Richard Gleeson, who will aim to break through and control the run flow.
Bristol rewards batters, so the team that handles the powerplay and the death overs better will probably win. Warwickshire’s experience gives them a small edge in our view.
