TEAMS PREVIEW

South Australia Preview

The hosts are coming into this match on the back of a thumping 70-run win. They successfully defended 311 runs against Victoria at the Junction Oval in Melbourne.

Jerrssis Wadia and Wes Agar were the exceptional performers in the bowling attack, while Matthew Gilkes set them up for a big score with a big hundred earlier in the match. Opening batsman Jake Fraser-McGurk is a key player in the top order alongside Mackenzie Harvey, who hasn’t found his rhythm yet.

SAUS replaced Jake Weatherald with Jason Sangha at number 3, and the latter was out for a duck in the last match. Weatherald had scored 92 runs in his last outing at this venue in Adelaide.

Fraser-McGurk and Weatherald scored 102 runs for the 3rd wicket while Gilkes delivered a strong finish at number 5 to take South Australia to 383 runs against Tasmania in their first home game of the season.

Henry Hunt is another key player to watch for at number 4. Jake Lehmann, Jerrssis Wadia, and skipper Ben Manenti add depth to the batting order. While the hosts won that game by a narrow margin of 7 runs, they were exceptional in the last game, led by a 3-fer each from Wadia and Agar.

Nathan McAndrew and Henry Thornton are other key wicket-takers in this bowling attack. There is great variety in the bowling department, and someone or the other will step up and deliver crucial wickets for the home team.

Interesting Stats

Henry Thornton picked up 6 wickets before going wicketless in the last match

Matthew Gilkes scored 127 and 97 in his last two innings

Henry Hunt and Gilkes built a 104-run partnership for the 4th wicket in the last game

South Australia Predicted Playing XI:

Mackenzie Harvey, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Jason Sangha, Henry Hunt, Matthew Gilkes (wk), Jake Lehmann, Jerrssis Wadia, Ben Manenti (c), Nathan McAndrew, Henry Thornton, Wes Agar

South Australia Actual Playing XI:

Mackenzie Harvey, Henry Thornton, Henry Hunt, Wes Agar, Matthew Gilkes, Lloyd Pope, Benjamin Manenti, Jake Fraser McGurk, Spencer Johnson, Jake Lehmann, Nathan McSweeney

Queensland Preview

Hugh Weibgen led Queensland’s fight in the last game while the rest of the players fell. The only other batter in the lineup to support him was Hugo Burdon at number 4.

Hayden Kerr and Tom Straker were crucial in bringing QLD back into the game while the opposition was getting away with a couple of big partnerships at the top.

In their second game in Brisbane, Queensland suffered a 4-wicket loss while defending a 358-run total. In their opening game too, QLD scored 300+ runs batting first and ended up losing the match.

And when they finally won a game, it was while defending a much lower, 261-run score. These are good signs for the visitors, having some of their key bowlers find rhythm ahead of a key fixture against strong opposition in an away match.

Tom Whitney and skipper Mitchell Swepson are other key wicket-takers in this squad along with Kerr and Straker. Marnus Labuschagne joined the national team for the South Africa Test series as Swepson took over the captaincy of Queensland.

Along with that, Agnus Lowell was promoted to number 3 in the batting order. Hugh Weibgen is the in-form top-order batter and has support from another promising player, Jack Clayton.

While Weibgen has scored two consecutive hundreds for the side, Clayton was the second-highest scorer in their previous match in Brisbane with 80 off 79 as the two openers built a 156-run partnership for the first wicket.

Hugo Burdon, Max Bryant, and Dylan Mclachlan are the core of this batting lineup in the middle order. A lot depends on these three for Queensland to bounce back with a stronger performance and a bigger total in this match.

Interesting Stats

Weibgen scored 103 and 125 runs in his last two outings for Queensland

Hugo Burdon has scored two fifties in 3 matches so far at number 4

Hayden Kerr has taken 6 wickets so far this season

Queensland Predicted Playing XI:

Jack Clayton, Hugh Weibgen, Angus Lovell, Hugo Burdon, Max Bryant, Dylan Mclachlan (wk), Hayden Kerr, Ollie Patterson, Mitchell Swepson (c), Tom Whitney, Tom Straker

Queensland Actual Playing XI:

Jimmy Peirson, Mitchell Swepson, Lachlan Hearne, Hayden Kerr, Jack Clayton, Hugo Burdon, Tom Whitney, Hugh Weibgen, Tom Straker, Ollie Patterson, Max Bryant

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS

Weather Conditions

It will be mostly sunny in Adelaide with a high of 27 degrees Celsius in Adelaide. It should be a great day for batting given there will be no cloud cover and no significant humidity during the day. There are no signs of rain, and we expect a complete and uninterrupted game between two quality teams.

SAC vs QSL Pitch Report

Looking at the last game played here, we can safely say it is a batting-friendly wicket with plenty of runs on offer. While the average first-innings score before the start of the season was 261 runs, it is quite apparent that anything under 300 runs will not be safe at this venue this year. The team batting first should aim for something around 320+ runs to be in a winning position in this match.

Toss: To Bowl

Though the team batting first won the last game played here, it was quite a narrow margin as Tasmania almost chased down 373 runs. In the previous season of the Women’s National Cricket League, the chasing team had won 4 of the last 5 matches played at this venue. Considering the batting depth in both teams, we reckon they will back themselves to chase down a total. Moreover, Queensland had lost their first two games while defending a total on a batting-friendly wicket in Brisbane.
