Young Guns Kellaway and Tribe Lead Glamorgan to Comfortable Win Over Gloucestershire in Vitality Blast

Half-centuries from 21-year-olds Ben Kellaway and Asa Tribe inspired Glamorgan to a commanding 40-run Vitality Blast South Group victory over Gloucestershire at Bristol, leaving the defending champions winless in five matches. After winning the toss, Glamorgan posted a competitive 189 for six, with Kellaway striking a career-best 53 off 35 balls and Tribe delivering a blistering unbeaten 63 off just 28 deliveries, including five fours and five sixes. Ajeet Singh Dale was the pick of the Gloucestershire bowlers with 3 for 17, but late acceleration from Tribe saw Glamorgan take 41 runs from the final two overs. In reply, Gloucestershire stumbled early, losing Miles Hammond for a duck, and despite Cameron Bancroft’s measured 52 and D'Arcy Short’s 34, they struggled to keep up with the required rate. Leg-spinner Mason Crane produced a career-best 4 for 20 to dismantle the middle order, while Imad Wasim and Ned Leonard chipped in with key wickets. Bancroft’s dismissal in the 17th over, caught at short fine-leg off a reverse sweep against Crane, sealed Gloucestershire’s fate despite a late cameo from Graeme van Burren, who smashed 32 off 14 balls. Glamorgan’s fourth group stage win was built on a balanced performance with both bat and ball, while Gloucestershire remain rooted at the bottom of the table as their title defence continues to falter.
