Our Opponents - Glamorgan

Preview by Peter Miller - ECB Reporters Network

Captain: Kiran Carlson

Overseas player: Colin Ingram (South Africa)

2023 finish: Fourth (Group B) 

2023 leading run scorer: Eddie Byrom (352)

2023 leading wicket taker: Ben Kellaway (13)

Key player: In the absence of Chris Cooke, and with no second overseas player signed up for this competition so far, there is a lot of pressure on Colin Ingram to perform for Glamorgan in 50 over cricket. His nine List A hundreds for Glamorgan puts him third on the all-time list for the county, him hitting double digits hundreds for this team would be a big boost. 

Keep an eye on: Ben Kellaway had a very good season for Glamorgan in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup last year to finish as top wicket taker. His opportunities with the ball have been limited to two overs in his six matches in the Vitality Blast, but expect him to take a more significant role in the 50-over format again.

Final thought: Going into the Vitality Blast the worry was that Glamorgan’s bowling would be the weak spot, but their attack has kept them in games at times this year. Where they have struggled is with consistency with the bat, the Metro Bank One-Day Cup is a chance for a white-ball batting reset as they look to claim the trophy they won in 2021.
