Gloucestershire are up against Surrey for the first English One Day Cup 2019 fixture at County Ground in Bristol on Wednesday. Both the sides did not have a very fruitful season last year and would be looking for a better show this time around.
Surrey finished fifth on South Group points table while Gloucestershire were seventh in the standings last year. Putting that behind, both Gloucestershire and Surrey would look for a fresh start and going the distance this year.
