WAC vs TSC Dream11 Prediction

WAC vs TSC Match Preview

After a couple of title wins in a row in their last couple of seasons of Sheffield Shield, the Western Australia side is going to be a challenge for all teams this year as well. They have begun by winning the first match by a margin of an innings and 53 runs. This was a game against Victoria who ended up being runners-up to the hosts in their last couple of seasons. Although Corey Rocchiccioli has kept his form going, Cameron Gannon has also established himself as an effective bowler. Rocchiccioli has also succeeded in picking up 6 wickets in the first contest with good figures of 3 for 14 from 26 overs in the 2nd innings.

Another all-rounder who did well in this game was Aaron Hardie who went through the Victorian top order to provide an upper hand to the hosts. You can get several bowling alternatives in this team and most of them have been proven to be promising. The biggest positive to have come out of the last contest was the performance of Teague Wyllie. The 19-year-old batter scored 94 runs while batting in the number 3 position. Together with Cameron Bancroft, he added 193 runs for the second wicket. 

Other batters such as Aaron Hardie and Jayden Goodwin also appeared to be in good touch in the Western Australia middle order. Although they did not have the services of Mitchell Marsh available to them this year, other alternatives such as Ashton Turner and Josh Phillips will need to play a critical role in their lower middle order. Western Australia has a deep batting line-up with experienced and in-form batters playing in key positions in the line-up. It is going to be tough for the visiting team to crack Western Australian batting in this game.

For Tasmania, it will be difficult to carry forward the momentum of the first game victory at the venue of WACA. Jordan Silk will be trying to make the most of the current form of their bowlers. During the last year, while batting first, Tasmania was bowled out for a score of 179 runs. After achieving this kind of beginning, it is almost impossible to bounce back in a match against a tough opposition. Victoria also got into trouble when they were asked to bat first in the last game. Jordan Silk will be looking to bowl first at this ground.
The Tasmania captain will be looking to bowl first on this venue to try and get his in-form bowlers to have a go at the opposition. They will try and restrict the home team below 250 runs on the opening day of the competition. A lead of 100 to 150 runs in their first innings will place Tasmania right into the driver's seat for winning the game. This is not going to be a simple task against these opponents. They will be looking forward to Jake Weatherald and Calen Jewell to provide a great start.

Jewell appeared to be in terrific touch during the last game hitting 87 runs. Charlie Wakim also put together a hundred while batting at the number 3 position together with the opening batter Jewell. These two were involved in an 189-run partnership for the second wicket. The experience of Matthew Wade will be vital while batting at the number 5 position with another young and promising batter Beau Webster. These are the players that can take Tasmania to a 400 runs total. One of the key bowlers for Tasmania is Webster. He appeared to be in good nick in the last game played between the two sides last year. He will lead the bowling charge for Tasmania with Bell and Neil Smith this year.
