Western Australia vs Tasmania Match Prediction
Australia
Bellerive Oval
Western Australia has played the best cricket till now in the season of all the teams in the tournament. They have lost just once so far in the league and their chances of qualifying for the finals of the Sheffield Shield Trophy are almost fixed. Out of the 7 matches played, Western Australia has lost once and drawn 2 matches. They have 34 points to their name and are at the very top of the points table. They would want to register one more win as they have just 3 matches left in the tournament before they go into the finals.
Tasmania, on the other hand, has not been at its best but so are the other teams as 3 teams have the same number of points in the points table including Tasmania. The Tasmanian players have shown grit and compassion in the previous game against New South Wales and ended the game with a draw. Out of the 7 matches played, the Tasmanian cricket team has won two, lost two, and drawn 3. They have twenty-three points to their name which is bad and are in the second last position on the points table. Their chances are quite bleak to win against Western Australia in the forthcoming match on the 21st of February.
Facts
- The Bellerive Oval, Hobart has an interesting surface as it does not offer much assistance to the fast bowlers which is very unlikely on Australian surfaces. The track here allows the batters to score big runs once set on the ground. The surface has a lot of cracks that start opening up from Day 2 at noon or the morning of Day 3 and help the spinners.
- Western Australia has been up to the mark as a batting unit as its batters have been able to score runs consistently. If we are to name a few Cameron Bancroft, their best batsman, and Sam Whiteman are the two players who have helped the team reach the top spot of the tournament. The team will be dependent on both of them in this upcoming match against Tasmania.
- Talking about the bowling department, Matthew Kelly is a bowler everyone can look forward to. He has been consistent till now in the Sheffield Shield trophy and also has a good amount of experience.
- Tim Ward has been Tasmania’s best batsman in the Sheffield Shield 2022-23 trophy till now and is the fourth-highest run-scorer in the league. He has been in terrific form and has scored 437 runs in 7 matches. He will be the batter to look forward to in this upcoming match against Western Australia.
- Tasmania’s bowlers have also breathed fire in this tournament so far. Peter Siddle has been the pick of the pack and has taken 23 wickets in just 7 matches. If Tasmania is to win this match and move higher on the points table, Peter Siddle should make the stumps fly off the batters of Western Australia.
Western Australia vs Tasmania Chance of Winning
We would like to favour Western Australia to win this match as the team is in really good form and is the only team to register 3 consecutive wins in the tournament. The batters are capable of scoring huge runs as well as the bowlers are capable of dismissing any batsman and defending the target. We predict Western Australia’s cricket team to win this game with a 75/25 chance of winning against the Tasmania cricket team.
