Western Suburbs were doing wonderfully as they were stuck to their plans of chasing but in the recent match vs tough competition Valley they batted first and managed to score only 131 runs. They had started off their campaign with 3 back to back wins but now they have lost one. Valley made a joke out of the chase as they won by 10 wickets with 8.1 overs still to be bowled.
The high scorers for Western Suburbs in the previous matches: W Busisto and T Campbell failed and with the whole batting order relying mostly on them got exposed. Sam Truloff played an anchor innings with a strike rate of 115 to take the team to a respectable total.
The bowling department was given the tough task to defend this small total but they gave away easily. The target was chased with utmost ease in 11.5 overs and without even a loss of a single wicket. P Dooley was the only bowler who had a decent economy rate of 7.5.
The Western Suburbs need to pull up their socks as they are now exposed when it comes to batting 1st and setting up the target and with the tournament going towards the later half , it is going to be more tough.
The top performers for them in the last match were S Truloff (46 off 40 balls) with the bat and as no bowler was successful in the wicket taking department, top performer from the bowling side would be the captain Patrick Dooley.

Ipswich are in a very critical situation right now as 4 losses out of 5 makes them one of the weakest teams in the tournament and another loss could mean an exit for them. They have won only one match in the five games they have played and are now at the 10th position in the table.
The recent match was not an easy one for them yet again as their bowlers were punished left and right with them conceding 237 runs in 20 overs.Every bowler had an economy rate of more than 9 and the wickets column was empty in most cases. Sean Lutter and Jack Wood were the ones with a decent outing among the bowlers.
The batters with only J Wood and H Sheppard took the responsibility and smacked the opposition but the whole middle order collapsed like pins. At the end they did reach 191 runs but it was not what the task was. Even if another batter would have stepped up , things could have been different for Ipswich as they would have come close to the target.
The top performers for them against Redlands were J Wood (64 off 33 balls) and H Sheppard (50 off 23 balls). The bowlers did not find their rhythm throughout the match and were left clueless with only two bowlers in Sean Lutter (4-36-1) and J Wood (4-39-1) taking wickets for them in this embarrassing defeat.

On Sunday, August 31st, New South Wales is going to be sunny throughout the day with 1% chance of rain which would not affect the game. Light winds around 19km/h in the morning .Temperatures will hover near 19°C, and there’s about 30% humidity.
The pitch at Jack Mclaughlin Oval offers a balanced surface favoring both batters and bowlers ,and the batter needs to use the speed of the bowler to score freely on the surface. Bowlers can get assistance early on if they bowl the right line and length and use variations in this venue.
The surface here offers better batting conditions in the first innings looking at the historical data. The team batting 1st has an average score of 179 and team batting 2nd 163 with lesser wickets lost in the 1st innings compared to 2nd innings.
The best decision on this pitch with sunny weather would be to bat first and then defend the target. Therefore, we predict that the team that wins the toss will choose to bat first. In the case of Western Suburbs with their history of successful chasing the better outcome for them could be a good toss to lose.
Western Suburbs even after losing the last match horribly looks a better balanced side when compared to Ipswich. They would definitely correct their decisions and fight stronger.We are backing the Western Suburbs for this game looking at the form of both the teams right now
