Queensland vs Victoria, MOC, Today Match Prediction

QSL vs VAC Match Prediction & Analysis

The Marsh One-Day Cup made an excellent return on Tuesday with the Tasmania Tigers getting the better of New South Wales at Cricket Central in an exciting fixture!

As a result, there will be plenty of pressure on both Queensland and Victoria to do more of the same on Wednesday at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane in match two of this tournament.

Queensland were not far off the pace last year and need only to improve slightly from last season to get to the top two places and find themselves in the final in 2025/26.

As for Victoria, they have won the last two head to heads when batting first and they will be looking for another run to the final in this year's tournament.

HEAD TO HEAD

TEAMS PREVIEW

Queensland Preview

Queensland closed out their 2024/25 One Day Cup campaign with a disappointing defeat by six wickets with 144 balls remaining against Western Australia, a team who finished bottom of the pile!

Therefore, improvements will be required from the hosts in this game from the top order, through to the engine room in the middle, not to mention giving the bowlers something to defend in Brisbane.

Three of the top four, Ben McDermott, Jimmy Peirson and Matt Renshaw are all very capable batters at this level and all could win the game single-handedly with the bat.

With the ball, expect Liam Guthrie, Xavier Bartlett and skipper Mitchell Swepson to be the main threats!

Queensland Predicted Playing XI:

Ben McDermott, Jimmy Peirson (wk), Angus Lovell, Matt Renshaw, Lachlan Hearne, Max Bryant, Jack Wildermuth, Xavier Bartlett, Liam Guthrie, Mitchell Swepson (c), Callum Vidler

Queensland Actual Playing XI:

Jack Clayton, Lachlan Hearne, Marnus Labuschagne, Michael Neser, Jimmy Peirson, Gurinder Sandhu, Tom Straker, Mitchell Swepson, Hugh Weibgen, Jack Wildermuth, Matt Renshaw

Victoria Preview

There are runs throughout this Victoria side and they also look very dangerous with the ball ahead of this opening One-Day Cup match against Queensland in Brisbane.

Any of the top seven could theoretically bat at the top of the order and Victoria have an approach which demands aggressive cricket. The likes of Marcus Harris and Peter Handscomb arrive after strong seasons in the UK while Sam Harper is an excellent middle-order player.

With the ball, Scott Boland will look to push his claims for a place in the Australia team for the upcoming Ashes series and his relentless line and length could be the difference in this match.

Spin will come from Todd Murphy who is an excellent player at this level.

Victoria Predicted Playing XI:

Harry Dixon, Campbell Kellaway, Marcus Harris, Peter Handscomb, Thomas Rogers, Sam Harper (wk), Will Sutherland (c), Fergus O'Neill, Todd Murphy, Peter Siddle, Scott Boland

Victoria Actual Playing XI:

Harry Dixon, Sam Elliott, Peter Handscomb, Sam Harper, Marcus Harris, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Perry, Thomas Rogers, Will Sutherland, Matthew Short, Callum Stow

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

QSL vs VAC Pitch Report

The Allan Border Field always gives something for the spinners as well as for the pacers and batters. Expect a par total in the first innings of the game to be around 300.

Toss: To Bowl
