South Australia |Winless in the last season of Sheffield Shield, South Australia will be eager for a win to kick off the 2021-22 season. Skipper Travis Head has been a crucial figure in the batting lineup at number 4. Jake Weatherald and Alex Carey can also be expected to deliver a decent performance in the 1st innings. While the lower-order consisting of Jake Lehman and Harry Nielsen also has the ability to score significant runs, it all comes down to the ability to take 20 wickets for winning matches in this format of the game. That is something South Australia will need to seriously look into and correct their strategy in this new season. The experience of Daniel Worrall is of significance in the bowling department and the right-arm pacer will be an impact player to watch out for in the 1st innings. Chad Sayers and David Grant are expected to support Worrall in the pace attack though they haven’t been exceptional in terms of their average. The management could also think of including the leg-break bowler Lloyd Pope this season to add variety to this SAUS bowling attack. While there are options in this squad for the skipper to try different permutations and combinations, as of now, none of the bowlers seems threatening. The opposition has a mighty batting lineup and it will take a great effort from the Redbacks bowling attack to give themselves a chance in this contest. Western Australia |WA finished 3rd in the last season of Sheffield Shield with 2 wins and 1 loss from 8 matches. The strong middle-order of Western Australia gave hopes to the followers of the team of a title win last season. Shaun Marsh will be leading a strong squad this season as well. Cameron Bancroft, Josh Inglis, and Josh Phillipe will be the key middle-order batsmen. They’ve got the experience, skills, and the ability to perform well in a Test match. In addition to these wicket-keeper batsmen, all-rounders Cameron Green and Jhye Richardson add more depth and strength to the batting line-up. M Kelly, Lance Morris, and Joel Paris will be leading the pace attack and can be expected to make an impact in the 1st innings. In comparison to the opposition’s squad, WA has a well balanced all-round side with depth in the batting lineup and a variety in the bowling attack.
Western Australia to win this match Western Australia has a stronger batting lineup with more experienced players with even a great potential in the lower order. This makes a complete batting collapse less likely for WA and in comparison, South Australia doesn’t look as strong. Though SA has a strong bowling attack and can pose a tough challenge. Overall, we reckon Western Australia has the upper hand and will start as favourites to win the match.
