Tasmania will face Western Australia in a must-win game at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart. Both teams have a chance of making it to the top 2. They need a big win here to improve their chances.
The batting performances of both sides have seen a decline. Tasmania successfully defended 376 runs in their last outing at this venue. However, since then, their batting hasn’t been as impressive.
Western Australia, on the other hand, have been quite inconsistent. They were all-out for just 161 runs while batting first at the W.A.C.A in their last match.
The same team had chased down 282 runs at the same venue before this tournament went into the break back in November 2023. Tasmania are coming into this match on the back of a 5-wicket win in their last outing.
It’s a batting-friendly venue that will offer a great opportunity for both teams to bounce back with the bat. There are some heavyweights in both batting lineup and we will be up for an exciting contest.

Tasmania turned things around quickly after losing their first two consecutive matches in the league. Since then, they’ve won 3 of their 4 one-day games including the last one against Queensland at The Gabba.
Caleb Jewell and Jake Weatherald are among the top guns featuring as opening batters in this lineup. These two have great experience and will be expected to deliver a good start in this must-win game.
Charlie Wakim and Jordan Silk have struggled to get going in their last two outings. They will need to bring their A-game in this match. They play at crucial positions in the batting order and another failure from the two would create more troubles for the team.
The batting lineup is quite deep with the likes of Macalister Wright, Beau Webster, and batting all-rounder Mitchell Owen in the lower-middle order.
Wakim and Silk had both delivered major contributions to the team’s total in their last match at this venue. Riley Meredith will lead the bowling attack. He is in great form and will be ed by the likes of Beau Webster and Tom Rogers.

Western Australia needs a win here to stay alive in the race to the Final. They were off to a great start with 3 consecutive wins in this season but then lost their momentum. They have won just 1 of their last 3 matches.
Their last win came against the bottom-placed South Australia at the W.A.C.A in Perth. Western Australia chased down a 280-run target with 4 wickets in hand.
Skipper Sam Whiteman led the run-chase with an unbeaten 137-run knock. He was ed by a fifty from Cameron Bancroft at number 3.
However, in the last match, the skipper was out for a duck while the team was bowled out for just 161 runs batting first. The top-order has struggled quite a bit lately and that has resulted in the inconsistency in the batting returns.
Josh Philippe and D Arcy Short are some of the key players in this batting lineup. Short who usually opens in limited-overs format was sent at number 6 in the last game where he scored 47 off 53 balls and was the top batsman for the team.
There are many reliable batting options at every crucial position in this batting order. However, the lack of form is a major concern for Western Australia coming into this game.
They’ve got a strong bowling attack with the likes of Andrew Tye, Jason Behrendorff, and Cameron Gannon. Western Australia will pose a tough challenge with the ball.

The pitch gets flatter as the game progresses allowing for easy stroke-making. There may not be a lot of movement off the surface later in the match and hence, pacers need to strike early while there is some help on offer. Weather will be mostly cloudy with a high temperature of 18 degrees Celsius on the match day in Hobart.
Bellerive Oval in Hobart will be the venue for the Tasmania vs Western Australia match. It has been one of the popular venues for domestic cricket and is home to Hobart Hurricanes in BBL. The average 1st innings score here in ODIs is 241 runs but we reckon a match-winning score would be something over 300 runs.
Teams batting first have won 21 of the 40 ODIs played at this venue. While there is no clear advantage in favor of the team batting first, we reckon, chasing will not be easy in a high-pressure game especially if the target is quite competitive.
Tasmania and Western Australia are two well-matched teams featuring some of the best players in the Australian domestic circuit. There is little to pick between the two teams when we consider the squad strength. However, going by the recent performances and current form, we think Tasmania will have a slight edge going into this contest.
