AUSM vs SAM Team Previews

Australia Masters

After suffering consecutive defeats at the start of the tournament, Australia Masters managed to score the first points of the season on Wednesday as they defeated table-toppers India. As a result, they have moved up to the 4th place on the points table.

Shane Watson has been in excellent form, scoring 2 centuries in his 3 innings, and will look to give the team a strong start. He will be joined by Shaun Marsh at the top of the order. Ben Dunk too has been pretty consistent at the number-3 position, scoring a half-century and a century. His hard-hitting skills make him a dangerous batsman for the opposition.

The excellent form of the top order has meant that the middle order is relatively untested. Nevertheless, with Dan Christian, Ben Cutting, and Nathan Reardon, Australia has plenty of talent in its batting unit.

Coming to the bowling, Australia has a well-balanced bowling attack at its disposal. Ben Hilfenhaus, Nathan Coulter-Nile, and Ben Laughlin will lead the pace department. Xavier Doherty picked up a fifer in the match against India and will be joined by Bryce McGain in the spin attack.

South Africa Masters

Much like their opponents, South Africa too lost its first two matches but managed to turn things around in their latest outing as they defeated England to earn their first points of the season. However, their NRR is among the worst compared to the other teams.

Hashim Amla and Henry Davids will open the batting for the team in this match. While Amla has been in good touch, the same cannot be said about Davids, who has struggled against the new ball. While the middle order has some good players like Jacques Kallis, Alviro Petersen, Farhan Behardein, and Dane Vilas, South Africa’s batting lacks quality especially when compared to that of Australia.

Makhaya Ntini and Vernon Philander will lead the attack with the new ball in this match. However, the duo has struggled so far, managing to pick up only one wicket each. Thandi Tshabalala is the team’s leading wicket-taker with 3 wickets.

AUSM vs SAM Toss Prediction

3 of the last 4 matches played here have been won while chasing. In each of those 4 games, the captain winning the toss has opted to field first and we expect that trend to continue.

Pitch and Conditions

The pitch at Vadodara has been good to bat on. The surface is flat and hard, offering excellent pace and bounce. That allows the batsmen to score runs freely. However, as the ball gets a bit old, the spinners will be able to grip and turn the ball. The team batting first will look to get as close to the 200-run mark as possible. The weather in Vadodara will be clear with temperatures between 25 and 30 degrees.

AUSM vs SAM Betting Tips

We are backing the Australia Masters in winning this match. They have a much stronger batting line-up compared to that of South Africa. Also, Australia’s bowling attack looks well-balanced.

Bet on Australia Masters to win.
