South Australia and Victoria have reached the Final of the Marsh One-Day Cup 2024-25. The visitors have bounced back with the bat and look quite promising coming into the Final.
Campbell Kellaway, Harry Dixon, and Peter Handscomb are all in good touch in the top 4 and will be the ones to watch out for in the Victoria squad.
In addition, they also have a strong bowling attack that includes the experienced and reliable Peter Siddle and the promising right-arm off-break bowler Todd Murphy who’s been quite consistent lately.
South Australia failed to defend 329 runs in their last match at this venue in Adelaide. Until that loss to Tasmania, the bowlers had driven South Australia to consecutive wins and even defended a total as low as 208 runs.
This Final promises to be a thrilling contest between two quality teams with deep batting lineups and a strong bowling attack.

South Australia will consider bringing Harry Conway back into the side for the Final. The right-arm fast-medium bowler from New South Wales is a consistent wicket-taker and plays a key role in this bowling attack.
Right-arm fast bowlers Henry Thornton and Ben Manenti will benefit from Conway joining them in the bowling attack. The trio of these bowlers will pose a tough challenge to the back-in-form Victoria batters.
Wes Agar and Lloyd Pope lead the spin-bowling department and can deliver timely breakthroughs at key moments in the game. In the batting lineup, all eyes will be on the skipper Nathan McSweeney and Jason Sangha to step up and deliver more impactful performances in the middle-order.
The top 3 batters recently found their rhythm with some brilliant knocks at their home ground in Adelaide against Tasmania. Mackenzie Harvey, Harry Nielsen, and Daniel Drew are all back in form and will be looking to deliver another big start for the side.
Harvey and Drew have struggled to get going in the previous matches. In the lower-middle order, Jake Lehmann is another quality player who has delivered some impressive knocks and will be one to watch out for in this game.

Victoria made a change to their batting order in the last match. Their regular opener Sam Harper wasn’t in the top 5 anymore while Campbell Kellaway came into the XI and was made to open the innings alongside Harry Dixon.
The new opening duo scored 106 runs for the first wicket. Dixon scored 57 off 37 balls while Kellaway stayed unbeaten on 117 and as part of another big partnership with Peter Handscomb as they led Victoria to an 8-wicket win.
This win will boost the skipper’s confidence in his batters. Sam Harper is an in-form batsman who will be quite handy lower down the order. If he can score well in the middle or lower-middle order, it will be a huge plus for the visitors.
He will find support from Thomas Rogers and Peter Handscomb to build partnerships in the second half of the innings. Peter Siddle, Will Sutherland, and Todd Murphy look very promising with the ball.
They will be tasked with delivering consistent breakthroughs so that Victoria don’t repeat their previous loss against South Australia while defending 286 runs. While there are other bowling options in the squad, these three are the key wicket-takers expected to rise to the occasion.

It will be partly cloudy in Adelaide for most of the day with a high of 26 degrees Celsius. After 5 PM local time, the skies will be clear and sunny from there onwards. There are no signs of rain and we look forward to an exciting Final between two strong teams.

Average TurnThe pitch here at the Adelaide Oval is mostly flat and helps the batters. In the recent match, we saw some brilliant batting performances from both teams at this venue. The average 1st innings score in the last 10 one-day matches is 237 runs. However, looking at the recent outings here, we reckon anything under 300 runs will not be a safe total on this wicket.
Teams bowling first have won both matches at this venue in the Marsh One-Day Cup 2024-25 so far. Both teams have in-form and deep batting lineups and they should back themselves to chase down a total on this ground in Adelaide, South Australia.
Both teams are well-matched and have promising players in their batting lineup who’ve scored some big knocks in their recent outings. The bowling attack of Victoria looks quite threatening and we expect a much better performance from them this time around. However, South Australia have a slight edge in this contest due to their batting depth and bowling consistency and will start as favorites in our match prediction.
