South Australia are favourites to win
Cricket Australia XI are yet to get off the mark on the points table this season. They are lying at the bottom of the pool having faced defeats in all their first four games. South Australia tasted their first victory of the season on Wednesday when they beat New South Wales by six wickets. They are placed fifth with seven points from four games.
The two teams will go head-to-head on October 15 at the Hurstville Oval, Sydney in what will be the 15th match of the Matador BBQS One-Day Cup 2016. Live action will begin at 10:30 AM local time.
Read on for our betting tips and match prediction for Cricket Australia XI vs South Australia, Matador BBQS One-Day Cup 2016 15th match....
Ryan Gibson and skipper William Bosisto are currently among the tournament's top 5 batsmen and they will be the key in their batting. The former has hit a hundred and a fifty so far while the latter has a couple of fifties to his name. CAXI should have plenty of runs on the board if these two continue to bat well. We predict one of these two to top-score in this match.
With the ball, it will be Arjun Nair who is expected to cause maximum damage to the South Australian batting lineup. The offspinner has taken seven wickets from three games and is one of the leading wicket-takers this season. There is a good chance that he could take the most wickets in this match and peg back the South Australian innings.
There will be high expectations from Alex Carey, Callum Ferguson and Tom Cooper when South Australia come out to bat. The trio had a good previous outing against the NSW and they will be required to do well here too. Skipper Ferguson has scored 116 runs from his last two innings and he will be South Australia's best bet to top-score in this match.
Pace department will be headed by Cameron Valente and Wes Agar while spin department will rely on the left-armer Tom Andrews. Valente with 10 wickets is the tournament's leading wicket-taker and he should be backed to be the top bowler for South Australia. Agar and Andrews took three and two scalps each in the last match. Andrews also bagged a four-for when they played CAXI last year.
Cricket Australia XI struggled last year and they are still struggling to find a way to win a game this year as well. So we aren't surprised to see them so high at 3.85 with 1xbet and 3.40 with bet365. Wednesday's win against the New South Wales has put South Australia as the hot favorites for this game. They are value at 1.30 with both betfair and bet365.
South Australia have been playing the Australian limited-overs domestic competitions since its inception in 1969 and are therefore far more experienced than Cricket Australia XI who played their first season last year. The former are three-time tournament winners and have finished as runners-up on five occasions.
Last year, South Australia came runners-up and they defeated CAXI convincingly who finished at the bottom. The latter are showing no real signs of improvement this year as well as they still search for their first win after four games.
South Australia are coming with a win in their previous match and we feel confident enough in backing them to win this match against Cricket Australia XI.
