Sophia Gardens, Cardiff

Glamorgan and Northamptonshire are scheduled to engage in their first County Championship Division Two encounter of the season from May 16 to 20, 2025. Their match will be staged at Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, and it is going to commence at 3:30 P.M IST.

Glamorgan vs Northamptonshire Chances of Winning

Glamorgan finally saw some respite in the last match as they beat Kent by a massive margin to bag their first win of the season. Batting first, Glamorgan went absolutely hammer and tongs to score 549 runs before declaring the score; Ben Kellaway went guns blazing to score an unbeaten 181, followed by Asa Tribe’s 94 and Colin Ingram’s 70. The bowlers restricted Kent to 212 in the latter’s first innings with the bat and they followed on only to be bundled out for 176 runs which handed Glamorgan victory by an innings and 161 runs.

Northamptonshire, too, were on a similar boat as they claimed their first victory of the season against Lancashire. Having scored 238 runs while batting first, Northamptonshire’s bowlers had quite a task to defend it. They allowed Lancashire to get a slight lead as the latter were bowled out for 276. In Northamptonshire’s second innings, they managed to pile on an additional 273 runs and this time, the bowlers defended it with all their might and Lancashire were all out for a meager 165. The Luke Procter-led side enjoyed a 70-run win.

Glamorgan vs Northamptonshire Betting Tips

Glamorgan to score high before first dismissal

Zain-ul-Hassan and Eddie Byrom were Glamorgan’s openers for the first three matches and after a poor start with 3 and 10 runs in the first game, they were invincible with totals of 44, 109, 42 and 93 runs in the following two games. Even though Asa Tribe has been brought in place of Byrom for the last two games, it has not had a major impact on the team’s first wicket since they were able to score 93, 11 and 34 runs together before the first dismissal. Their opening wicket is quite daunting at the moment and another spectacle is expected of them against Northamptonshire.

Glamorgan vs Northamptonshire Toss Prediction

The average first innings score of 330 at Sophia Gardens seems quite high but the ground is better suited to the fielding sides, and the toss winners opted to do so in both matches. The chasing side have one victory while the other game was drawn but since it is an advantageous position, fielding first will be the toss winner’s preferred choice in the upcoming match, too.

Weather Report

The temperature at Cardiff will reach 22 degrees Celsius around the time of the match with no threat of disruptions, and sunny conditions are going to prevail.

Glamorgan vs Northamptonshire Betting Odds

Glamorgan to have a better opening partnership than Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire’s Ricardo Vasconcelos and Luke Procter are quite unpredictable since their partnerships are either hit or miss. In the last three games, the pair posted 2, 0, 51, 18 and 143 runs before the fall of the first wicket. However, Glamorgan have the advantage of consistency as their openers, Zain-ul-Hassan and Asa Tribe, set up scores of 34, 93, 11, 42 and 93 runs in the previous three encounters. They have a better chance of setting up a competitive partnership than Northamptonshire’s openers since they are more reliable together.
