TEAMS PREVIEW
Victoria Preview
Victoria continued their dominant run with yet another win, securing a 70-run victory over Tasmania at Bellerive Oval. After being sent in to bat, Victoria posted 222 in their first innings, anchored by a brilliant 93 from Sam Harper.
Their bowlers then took complete control, skittling Tasmania for a meager 91. Fergus O’Neill and Sam Elliott led the destruction, claiming three wickets each to hand Victoria a massive 131-run first-innings lead.
In the second innings, Victoria struggled to 193 as the pitch offered plenty for the bowlers. Peter Handscomb’s gritty 47 and Fergus O’Neill’s handy 44 ensured the target remained out of reach for the hosts.
Defending 325, Mitchell Perry produced a match-winning spell, taking 5 for 45 to break the resistance of the Tasmanian middle order. Supported by O’Neill’s three wickets and Sam Harper’s sharp glovework—finishing with six catches—Victoria clinical performance once again proved why they are the team to beat.
Victoria Predicted Playing XI:
Campbell Kellaway, Sam Harper (wk). Blake McDonald, Peter Handscomb, Matthew Short, Marcus Harris, Fergus O' Neil, Will Sutherland (C), Mitchell Perry, Sam Elliot, Todd Murphy

South Australia Preview
South Australia extended their unbeaten run with a dominant nine-wicket victory over New South Wales at Karen Rolton Oval.
Their bowling unit set the tone early, with Henry Thornton’s five-wicket haul in the first innings and Nathan McAndrew’s superb match figures of 8 for 110 keeping the opposition under constant pressure.
Jordan Buckingham and Ben Manenti also provided crucial breakthroughs to ensure the target remained manageable. The batting performance was equally impressive, headlined by Jason Sangha’s commanding 115 and Liam Scott’s vital 61, which propelled the side to a substantial first-innings total of 373.
Alex Carey’s brisk 58 further strengthened their position. Chasing a modest 95 for victory, Travis Head played an explosive cameo, smashing 58 off just 48 balls with three sixes, while Henry Hunt remained unbeaten on 29 to guide the team home.

VAC vs SAC
Winning Prediction
It is going to be an even contest between these two strong sides and the odds slightly in favour of the home team who hold a 2-0 win record this season at the Junction Oval. But we do feel South Australia has a much more balanced lineup for this fixture and we back them to win this match against the odds.
South Australia to win!
