TEAMS PREVIEW
New South Wales Preview
New South Wales heading into the game after failing to make the most of their recent big success against South Australia. The victory by an innings and one run provided the team with some much-needed points and a boost to the morale. However, it has failed to extend further after the team dropped down to a 55-run loss against Tasmania.
Sam Konstas is the top batsman for the team after having come up with 383 runs so far in his seven innings at an average of 54.71. The recent game against Tasmania, though, was a disappointment on a personal level. Kurtis Patterson almost hit his first century of the season before falling for 99. He has managed 360 runs from his five innings average of 72.
Jackson Bird is the top bowler for the team with 16 wickets from his six innings. His first innings against Tasmania was quite decent with figures of 3/58. A strike rate of 34.31 puts Bird as one of the top bowlers in the Sheffield Shield so far in the 2024/25 season. The next crucial bowler for New South Wales has to be Sean Abbott with his return of 13 wickets from just four innings at an average of 19.8.
New South Wales Predicted Playing XI:
Nic Maddinson, Sam Konstas, Kurtis Patterson, Oliver Davies, Matthew Gilkes, Chris Green, Josh Philippe, Jack Edwards (c), Sean Abbott, Adam Zampa, Jackson Bird

Western Australia Preview
Western Australia remain in a very strong position with regard to being able to make a push for the top spot. The team are only a few points away from Victoria. A victory in the upcoming game could put them in a very strong position while they also are experiencing pressure from South Australia, who are less than two points behind.
Hilton Cartwright is the top batsman for Western Australia. After having picked up 466 runs from his nine innings at an average of 58.25, Hilton Cartwright has a small advantage over Carey while he is significantly above the competition. Still, Cartwright would have expected more centuries than his current single century so far this season. Jayden Goodwin is the next crucial batsman for the team with 357 runs from seven innings.
Western Australia have been able to ride high on the performance of their bowlers. Joel Paris is one of the top wicket-takers in the season with 15 from his six innings. In the game against South Australia, Paris was the most influential bowler after picking up six wickets over the two innings. Corey Rocchiccioli is also one of the top bowlers with 13 wickets to his name.
Western Australia Predicted Playing XI:
Cameron Bancroft, Sam Fanning, Jayden Goodwin, Hilton Cartwright, Ashton Turner (c), Joel Curtis, Keaton Critchell, Joel Paris, Jhye Richardson, Corey Rocchiccioli, Lance Morris

Minimal Turn
The Sydney Cricket Ground has been one of the top wickets for batsmen. It may not offer a lot of assistance for bowlers, but the venue enjoys a lot of pedigree. Even though the likelihood of rain could play spoilsport for this match, SCG should make it a memorable encounter.
Toss: To Bat
The pitch at Sydney Cricket Ground is known for being friendly to the batsmen. It is only during the last two days bowlers can expect significant contributions. There will be a good turn for spinners in these last two days. The decision from the toss winner will be to bat first.
NSW vs WAC
Winning Prediction
New South Wales have managed back-to-back successes over Western Australia. The visitors come on the back of two disappointing results and there is a pressing need for the team to come back to winning ways. Despite NSW pulling off good head-to-head results, they may end up settling for a draw.
Our prediction is for a draw
