South Australia vs Tasmania Prediction

The best men to do the job with the bat for Tasmania will be Tim Paine, Dom Michael and Alex Doolan. Michael and Doolan both made valuable contributions in the previous game against Western Australia. Paine has not been able to get a big one since last three innings and he will be raring to go. Doolan has three consecutive fifties against his name and we feel he could top-score for Tasmania.

Among Tasmania's seamers, it will be Hamish Kingston whom the South Australian batsmen will look to play carefully against. The medium pacer took three wickets in the last match including those of two top-order batsmen and we expect him to do well here too. However, the biggest threat will be coming from legspinner Cameron Boyce who is Tasmania's leading wicket-taker and a favorite to be the top bowler for his team.

South Australia vs Tasmania Prediction

Tasmania defeated South Australia last year by a big margin of 93 runs and this will give them a huge confidence boost ahead of this match. Moreover, since they have already been eliminated from the competition, they have nothing to lose and will be playing without any pressure which in turn could work in their favor.

South Australia need to win this game and that too by a healthy net run-rate if they are to have any chance of progressing further. So surely they will look to give their all. They will be coming off the back of two successive wins as opposed to Tasmania who have lost their previous two fixtures. So the momentum is definitely going to be with South Australia.

Tasmania are a strongly recruited unit but they have played below the expectations level this season. This is a crucial game for South Australia and we predict them to end up on the winning side.
