GLO vs NOR Dream11 Prediction: Gloucestershire and Northamptonshire are the teams which will clash in this quarter final and these are the top two teams from the Central Group.
Gloucestershire had won 7 games in the tournament and lost just 2 games. One of the games was rained out. For Northamptonshire, it was a mixed bag as they won 5 games and lost 4 games and one game was rained off too.
The first game that took place between these two games was rained out and abandoned without a ball being bowled. The second game saw Gloucestershire won the game by 35 runs in convincing fashion.
The game will begin with Gloucs starting off as favorites but the game is unpredictable being a knockout game and Northamptonshire will be giving themselves hope with the expectation of their big players delivering for them.
