Match Details
Victoria vs Western Australia, Match 1
21st September 2019, 11:30 AM IST
W.A.C.A Ground, Perth
Preview
The Australian summer of 2019-20 commences as the first game of the revamped Marsh One-Day Cup sees Victoria face off against a star-studded Western Australia outfit at the W.A.C.A. Unlike the previous seasons where Australian Internationals didn’t feature much in the competition, regulars such as Aaron Finch and Nathan Coulter-Nile take to field on Saturday with Australia looking towards the future after a decent ICC World Cup campaign in England. Defending champions, Victoria enter the game as the favourites with balance being key for them although Western Australia aren’t ones to be taken lightly. With two of the most consistent batsmen in D’Arcy Short and Shaun Marsh in their ranks, they will bank on home conditions to see them through this stern challenge.
Pitch Report
A good batting surface awaits the two sides in the season opener with scores of 260-270 being competitive. WACA has traditionally been helpful to the pacers with extra pace and bounce on offer and should be no different on Saturday as well.
Weather Report
The weather is all clear for this game with temperatures also varying in the range of 14-20 degrees all across Perth. The pacers will get help early on with the new ball in what is a decent pitch to be a fast bowler.
Injuries: No injuries were reported from either side
