Western Australia vs Victoria Match Prediction
Australia
W.A.C.A. Ground
Western Australia had the most number of wins this series of the Sheffield Shield 2022-23. They have played against every team twice and lost just 2 times against South Australia and their final opponent Victoria on 14th March. They might have eliminated Victoria from the series if they would have won their previous game against them. Out of the 10 matches played, Western Australia has won six, drawn two, and lost 2 games. Victoria broke their winning streak of 2 consecutive games in the last encounter and Western Australia would not want the same in the finals as well. It will be the ultimate battle between both teams to lift the Sheffield Shield trophy on 27th March 2023.
Victoria, on the other hand, is now the number 1 contender to win the Sheffield Shield Series as they have had the best time in the tournament in their last 5 games. Out of the last 5 matches played by them this Sheffield Shield series, the Victorian cricket team has won all the games including against Western Australia. They had 47 points to their name which got them to the 2nd spot in the points table and secured their place in the finals of the series. They are currently just a win away from their 6th back-to-back win and lifting the trophy.
Facts
- The surface at Western Australia Cricket Association Ground in Perth has an intriguing track as it always gives a result and no match over here has ended with a draw. The track here is fully green and fast bowlers enjoy a lot of bowling at this track. It is the home ground for the Western Australia team which has lost just one game on this venue in the entire Sheffield Shield Series.
- Hilton Cartwright, who is the second-highest run-getter of the series, can be dangerous for Victoria's victory in the Final game of the tournament. He has scored a total of 629 runs in just 10 matches and has an average of 41.93. He will be a troublemaker for the Victorian bowlers as he scored a hundred in the previous outing against the same team.
- Matthew Kelly is the top bowler in Western Australia in the Sheffield Shield series. He is among the top-6 best wicket-takers in this tournament for the Sheffield Shield trophy in 2022-23. He has taken 29 wickets in just 7 matches and can be one of the reasons Western Australia can win the finals.
- Matthew Short was Victoria’s best batsman in the Sheffield Shield 2022-23 last game against Western Australia and is the 6th-highest run-scorer in the tournament. He has been in exceptional form and has scored 584 runs in 9 matches that he has played in this 2022-23 season of the series. Matthew will be the batsman to watch out for in this next game against Western Australia.
- Victoria’s Will Sutherland has been the top choice for his team to take wickets in the game. If Victoria wants to conquer Western Australia in the finals as they did in their last outing they would need their top bowler Will Sutherland to take as many wickets as he can.
Western Australia vs Victoria Chance of Winning
We would like to go with Victoria to be the champions in the final match as the team has the winning momentum in the last 5 matches. They have their top batsmen in every order of the line-up and bowlers who have been outstanding past 5 games of the tournament. Victorian panels should not go easy on Western Australia as they were the table toppers in the series. Moreover, we favour Victoria to win this fixture against Western Australia with a 65/35 chance of winning.
