New South Wales vs Queensland Chances of Winning
New South Wales is the most successful team and has won the title 47 times since the beginning of the tournament. The last time they won the title was in the 2019/20 season but the team fell into a hole after that and were unable to produce favourable results. Last season, they finished at the bottom of the table with no wins, five losses and as many draws. They had only 16.31 points by the end of the tournament.
On the other hand, Queensland has won the title on nine occasions. They won the 2020/21 title and will be excited to grab the title this year after their campaign last season. Last year, Queensland won four games, lost two and had four draws in their campaign. This led them to finish third in the standings with 41.69 points to their name. They look strong and will be expected to do better this season.
New South Wales had an upsetting campaign last season where they could not win even a single game. Without many changes in the squad, the team will definitely be underdogs against Queensland who had a far better season.

Favorites to win
Queensland
Queensland also faced a draw in their last outing of the Sheffield Shield. Playing against Tasmania, they conceded 479/7 & 252/5 in both the innings. Liam Guthrie managed to pick 5 wickets in the game. The batting order was not very impressive in the game as they scored 300 & 184/1 in the game. However, the game could not be finished in time, leading to a draw. Max Bryant made a contribution of 84 runs whereas Bryce Street shined with the innings of 34 & 102* in the two innings. The team had more proficiency in their bowling than the latter. Having several capable options in the bowling line-up made it possible to win four games last season.
Things are looking pretty worrisome for New South Wales with the current squad. They have a decent batting order but lack majorly in their bowling options. Whereas Queensland has a sound bowling order and a balanced batting line-up that enabled them to win a few games last year. In the last five clashes between the sides, Queensland won on two occasions whereas New South Wales could only win once. Infact, their last clash in February resulted in Queensland favour who won the game by 5 wickets. Queensland are expected to win this affair based on the above stated facts.
