TEAMS PREVIEW

This season has been tough for Tasmania, with three losses and only one victory so far. They've had some good moments, but haven't managed to turn them into a run of wins. The next stage of the season is a chance for them to turn things around and find their rhythm.
Jake Weatherald has been a bright spot with the bat for Tasmania, currently their top run-scorer with 424 runs in 10 innings at an average of 42.40. Tim Ward has also been contributing well, with 388 runs over three matches, and he will be trying to anchor the batting lineup.
Jake Doran, with 369 runs in six appearances, gives the middle order added depth and could be counted on for vital runs.
On the bowling side, Riley Meredith has been a consistent performer, picking up 16 wickets in six innings with an average of 20. Gabe Bell and Kieran Elliott, having taken 13 and 12 wickets respectively, are also important bowlers who can have a big impact on the game.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The Bellerive Oval pitch is expected to offer a balanced contest. Early on, the surface should assist seamers with some movement off the deck, especially under overcast skies. As the match progresses, it will likely settle down, favoring batters who can play patiently. Spinners may find some turn later, but the key will be disciplined bowling and smart shot selection.
The weather in Hobart will remain mostly cloudy for most of the game, with chances of some rain on the final day.
TSC vs VAC Pitch Report
The average first innings score at the Bellerive Oval is 286. The highest total posted at the venue this season is Western Australia’s 460- (dec.) against Tasmania. Both teams will be eyeing a score of around 350 in their first innings.
Toss: To Bat
Both matches of the Sheffield Shield 2024-25 at Bellerive Oval have been won by the team batting first. Going by this trend, we reckon both teams will look to bat first in this game as well.
TSC vs VAC
Winning Prediction
Tasmania have struggled to find their form this season, while Victoria have looked strong and well-rounded. Although Tasmania’s batters have shown glimpses of what they can do, their bowlers haven’t performed consistently, often struggling in key moments. This lack of teamwork could give Victoria the advantage they need to win. Taking a look at what both sides can do and where they struggle, we think Victoria is the team to back in this match.
Victoria are our picks for the winners of this game.
