Western Australia Preview
Western Australia are known for their dominant home performances and solid batting unit. Currently placed fourth with one win and one loss, they are keen to build momentum. Their recent 66-run victory over South Australia highlighted their balanced squad. Joel Curtis (160 runs) and Sam Fanning (75 runs) have been consistent at the top, while Cameron Bancroft and Hilton Cartwright add depth to the batting order.
In their last match, Western Australia posted 298/9 after a solid start. Cartwright’s late hitting and Bancroft’s composure played key roles. On the bowling front, Joel Paris has been sensational with 8 wickets, including a 5-wicket haul in the last game. With backup from Richardson and Kelly, WA’s pace battery looks fierce. The W.A.C.A. pitch will favor their style of fast, aggressive bowling. If their top order clicks, Western Australia are tough to stop in Perth.
New South Wales Preview
New South Wales have had a mixed start, with one win and one loss, but their last performance was dominant. They crushed South Australia by 131 runs, showcasing their depth in both departments. Kurtis Patterson (183 runs) leads their batting charts with consistent form, while Matthew Gilkes nearly scored a century with his 99 off 107 balls in the last match.
Their bowling has been well-rounded, spearheaded by Tanveer Sangha, who has claimed 6 wickets so far. Pat Cummins and Mitchell Starc, if available, strengthen the lineup, offering lethal pace. NSW’s strength lies in their middle-order stability and bowling variation—Nathan Lyon and Sangha together can exploit conditions if the pitch assists turn. However, their main challenge remains adapting to Perth’s bounce and pace-friendly surface.
