Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Western Australia

The sides have clashed in the finals of the last two seasons. On both occasions, Western Australia managed to wear the crown.

In their last meeting, Victoria scored 195 & 210 runs in both the innings. Ashley Chandrasinghe (46* & 8), Will Sutherland (1 & 83) and Peter Handscomb (11 & 52) managed to surmount to a decent individual score whereas the rest of the squad went out pretty cheaply in the game. Joel Paris and Matthew Kelly picked 5 & 6 wickets respectively in the game to choke the Victoria’s batting line-up. This significantly helped Western Australia to win the game who scored 315 and 93/1 in the two innings and managed to win the game by 9 wickets. Ashton Turner scored 128 runs in the first innings whereas Teague Wyllie finished WA’s innings with an unbeaten innings of 43 runs. Will Sutherland was efficient for Victoria in the bowling department as well to have picked 5 wickets despite the loss. However, the remaining Victoria bowlers could not make much of an impact.

Western Australia's squad, as defending champions, remains largely intact, with the significant exception of the retirement of legend Shaun Marsh, leaving a void. Nonetheless, the team management has made astute squad selections. Western Australia boasts prominent figures who will bear the weight of high expectations. This season, their bowling department appears particularly formidable, bolstered by impressive newcomers and experienced veterans. With such a strong lineup, they aim to achieve a remarkable hat-trick of titles. The series opener promises to be a riveting rematch of last year's final, and Western Australia is determined to start on a winning note. Despite Marsh's absence, their collective strength and strategic squad decisions position them as serious contenders for yet another championship victory.
