Team Previews
South Australia Preview
South Australia had a nightmare start, losing to New South Wales by 131 runs after collapsing to 157 in their chase of 288. Their batting was fragile, with only Mackenzie Harvey (60) showing resistance. Players like Alex Carey, Daniel Drew, and Jake Fraser-McGurk will need to step up to stabilize the top order and ensure partnerships on a batting-friendly surface.
The middle order is capable, with Jason Sangha and Jake Lehmann providing depth. Carey’s international experience will be vital, especially in guiding young batters.
Bowling was another major concern. NSW batsmen targeted them heavily, with only Wes Agar (2-44) and Brendan Doggett (2 wickets) managing breakthroughs. The inclusion of Lloyd Pope’s leg-spin and Jordan Buckingham’s pace could give them variety. For South Australia to defend their title credentials, their bowling unit must find discipline and restrict Western Australia’s powerful batting.
Predicted XI: Fraser-McGurk, Harvey, Drew, Carey (c & wk), Sangha, Lehmann, Manenti, Agar, Doggett, Pope, Buckingham
Western Australia Preview
Western Australia lost their opening game but showed promise, scoring 321-9 against Queensland. Joel Curtis (116) and Sam Whiteman (83) led the charge, while Cameron Bancroft and Ashton Turner remain key middle-order anchors. Hilton Cartwright adds further explosiveness and will be crucial to building pressure on South Australia.
The bowling, however, struggled. Joel Paris (3-40) was outstanding, but Bryce Jackson and Liam Haskett leaked runs despite picking wickets. Skipper Ashton Turner will demand tighter lines from his bowlers, as defending totals will be vital in this tournament.
The team will look to balance attack with discipline, relying on Ashton Agar’s spin to control the middle overs. With batting depth and experience, Western Australia remain dangerous opponents.
Predicted XI: Fanning, Curtis (wk), Bancroft, Whiteman, Turner (c), Cartwright, A. Agar, Paris, Kelly, Haskett, Jackson

Favourite Team in Today’s Match

Alex Carey’s leadership, combined with talents like Fraser-McGurk and Harvey, makes their batting potent. On home soil at Karen Rolton Oval, they also enjoy a psychological advantage, having beaten Western Australia twice in their last two encounters. The presence of strike bowlers like Agar and Doggett further strengthens their case. While WA’s batting looks stronger, their inconsistent bowling leaves gaps South Australia can exploit.
