South Australia have done extremely well so far in Sheffield Shield 24-25, winning 6 of the 9 games they have played. With one game to go, they are currently at the top of the table with 51.76 points. They are so far ahead of the other teams, that the second-best team has won 3 games compared to 6 by South Australia. They are assured a place in the final even before their last league game of the season. They have won the last 4 consecutive games and looking to a fifth win before the finals.
South Australia started the season with a draw against New South Wales. Captain Nathan McSweeney scored an unbeaten century in the fourth innings, helping South Australia secure a draw. In the next game against Queensland, South Australia won by 129 runs. Opener Henry Hunt scored a century in the first innings, while wicketkeeper Alex Carey scored a century in the second innings. Defending a target of 359, thanks to Nathan McAndrew’s 5-wicket haul, South Australia got Queensland all out 129 runs short.
After defeating Victoria in the next game by 138 runs, Australia lost to New South Wales by an innings and 1 run.

Queensland have done reasonably well after the start they got in Sheffield Shield this season. In 9 games, they have managed 3 wins, 3 draws, and have lost 3 games. They are currently in 2nd place in the points table with 36.8 points. They are slightly ahead of NSW and Western Australia who are in contention for the finals with South Australia.
Queensland could not get a victory in their first five games. They started with a draw against Western Australia, followed by a loss against their current opponents South Australia by 129 runs. In the next two games, they managed two draws against New South Wales and Tasmania, while in the fifth game, they lost to Victoria by 90 runs. After five games, Queensland had three draws and two losses and were close to the bottom of the table.
The fortunes started changing when they defeated Victoria by a small margin of 23 runs in their 6th game. It was a low-scoring game. Xavier Bartlett took 5 wickets in the first innings, while Michael Swenson took 4 in the second to hand Queensland their first victory of the season. Queensland followed this small win by a comprehensive win against a formidable opponent New South Wales by defeating them by 188 runs.
After yet another defeat against Western Australia in the eighth game, Queensland defeated Tasmania in the previous game by nine tickets. Queensland have been up and down with the performances this season, although they have done reasonably well to be still in contention for the finals of Sheffield Shield 2024-25. It's a tough fight against South Australia in this game.

The weather on the match day at Karen Rolton Oval, Adelaide is expected to be very hot with breezy conditions in the afternoon. The high temperature will range between a high of 36°C and a low of 21°C. There’s no significant chance of rain on the match days.
The venue of the match is Karen Rolton Oval, Adelaide. It is a prominent cricket ground located in Adelaide, South Australia. It was named in honor of former Australian cricketer Karen Rolton. The venue was officially unveiled in 2018 by the South Australian Cricket Association. The venue has hosted the One Day International in a women's game between Australia and New Zealand in 2019. The venue has a seating capacity of approximately 5,000 spectators.
This is relatively a new venue and has not hosted any international games so far except for one Women's ODI. In the previous game at this venue in Sheffield Shield 2024-25, New South Wales won by an innings and a run against South Australia. New South Wales batted second in that game. There might be some early assistance for the bowlers here. The team winning the toss should bowl first here.
South Australia have had an excellent season so far, winning six of the nine games, whereas Queensland managed just three wins in their nine games. South Australia's top and middle order are scoring runs, and their bowling is able to support the batters by taking wickets in crunch situations. Queensland, on the other hand, started poorly, but they have come up strong in the last few games. Having said that, we believe South Australia have an advantage over Queensland, and they'll get to their fifth consecutive win in this game.
We predict that South Australia will defeat Queensland.
