Victoria vs Tasmania Chance of Winning
Victoria, led by Marcus Harris finished 3rd last season, winning four out of the seven games they played. They got 13 points besides their name with a solid net run rate of -0.343. They fell five points short of qualifying for the finale. Peter Siddle, ex Tasmanian player has been drafted in Victoria’s squad this season. Aaron Finch has been excluded from the squad. With the likes of Marcus Harris, Matthew Short, Peter Handscomb and Will Pucovski, Victoria have a strong batting lineup in place.

They had a bright start to their season, winning the first two games. However, they registered back-to-back five defeats in the competition. Jake Doran and Caleb Jewell did extremely well for the side last season, scoring 335 & 317 runs respectively. In their bowling department, Tom Rodergs picked up as many as 20 wickets for the team.

Victoria vs Tasmania Betting Tips
Peter Handscomb, the Victorian batter scored 169 runs in five games at an average of 42.25. He is arriving here after playing nine games at the England One Day Cup, scoring 401 runs at an average of 57.28. Therefore, we have backed Handscomb to score over 28.5 runs in the game.
Caleb Jewell accumulated 317 runs in 7 games last season at an average of 52.83. He was Tasmania’s 2nd highest run-scorer last season. Therefore, it would be fair to anticipate that Jewell will surpass the 24.5 run mark in the next game.
Victoria vs Tasmania Toss Prediction
The pitch at the Junction Oval is known for its batting-friendly characteristics. Batsmen relish playing here because the ball comes onto the bat smoothly, making shot-making relatively straightforward. This pitch offers a consistent and reliable bounce. While fast bowlers might get some early assistance from the surface, once batsmen settle in, bowlers will need to put in considerable effort to secure breakthroughs. Last season, three games were hosted at this venue out of which all three have been won by the side batting second. The average first innings score here is 265 runs. Hence, we predict the skipper winning the toss to bowl first here.

Victoria vs Tasmania Betting Odds
Tasmania to score over 27.5 runs before their first dismissal
Caleb Jewell and Jake Doran are set to commence the innings for Tasmania in this game. They both delivered exceptional performances in the previous season, with Jewell boasting an impressive average of nearly 83.75, while Doran averaged 52.83. It is anticipated that these two will provide a strong start to Tasmania's innings, aiming to accumulate more than 27 runs together before experiencing their initial dismissal.
Victoria vs Tasmania Top Batters
Marcus Harris to be the top batter for Victoria
Marcus Harris, the Aussie batter scored 315 runs in the Marsh One Day Cup last season in only 7 games at an average of 63.00. He smashed a fifty and a century and was Victoria’s leading run-scorer in the competition. We predict Harris to be the best batter for Victoria in the game.
Jake Doran to be the top batter for Tasmania
With 335 runs in six innings, Doran was the top run-getter for Tasmania last season. He scored two centuries and maintained a healthy average of 83.75. He scored a 104 run knock against Victoria last season. All that said, Doran is expected to make amends with the bat once again when the sides meet on Monday.
Victoria vs Tasmania Top Bowlers
Scott Boland to be the top bowler for Victoria
In five matches, Boland managed to pick six wickets at an economy of 3.89. Last time when the two sides collided, Boland picked up three wickets while conceding only 38 runs in his quota of ten overs. He was the best bowler for his side in that game and we predict the same to happen in the upcoming contest as well.
Riley Meredith to be the top bowler for Tasmania
Riley Meredith played six games last season in the Marsh One Day Cup and managed to pick up 10 wickets at an economy of 5.30. Meredith last played at the 2023 IPL where he picked up 7 in five games. This makes him a top bowling prospect for Tasmania in the game.
