VAC vs QSL Match Prediction & Analysis
It's been another exciting start to the Sheffield Shield with only Queensland adrift at the foot of the league. Of the other five sides in the competition, there are only 11 points separating them!
Victoria are currently setting the pace but their nearest challengers, Western Australia and South Australia have both fallen off in recent weeks with a draw and a defeat each.
For Queensland, New South Wales are the team within their sights but NSW have at least picked up a victory in this campaign. Queensland must start to pick up victories and a revenge win over Victoria, who beat them in their last match, would be an ideal place to start.

TEAMS PREVIEW
Victoria Preview
Victoria are not just top of the tree ahead of this game, they are also winning games they should be losing and that will be in the backs of the minds of their players and Queensland's at the start of this match.
When the sides met at the end of November, Queensland looked likely to record their first win of the season when they bowled Victoria out for 186 in Brisbane. That result looked even more likely when the hosts posted 297 to take a 111 run lead into the second half of the game.
However, this Victoria team are full of self-belief and the opening pair of Campbell Kellaway and Marcus Harris take some beating. With the ball, Sam Elliott (4/43) and Todd Murphy (3/48) come into this clash off the back of a fine fourth innings showing.
Victoria Predicted Playing XI:
Campbell Kellaway, Marcus Harris, Thomas Rogers, Peter Handscomb (c), Matthew Short, Sam Harper (wk), Sam Elliott, Fergus O'Neill, Xavier A Crone, Todd Murphy, Peter Siddle

Queensland Preview
Queensland must be wondering what they need to do to take that final step and finally record a win this season. Chasing 329 to beat Victoria at the Gabba, they were rolled for 238 and the memories of their 111 run first innings lead were long gone!
So, how can Queensland up their game in this contest?
Spinner and skipper Mitchell Swepson is likely to be key with the ball, as will Mark Steketee and Xavier Bartlett. Liam Guthrie took a four-wicket haul in Victoria's second innings last time round and some of their batters will be wary of facing him in this game.
There were four half-centuries for Queensland at the Gabba but they need someone to go big this time. Most pundits expect that batter to be one of Matt Renshaw or Ben McDermott.
Queensland Predicted Playing XI:
Bryce Street, Matt Renshaw, Angus Lovell, Jack Clayton, Ben McDermott, Liam Guthrie, Jimmy Peirson (wk), Jack Wildermuth, Xavier Bartlett, Mark Steketee, Mitchell Swepson (c)

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
According to the forecast, there could be some rain on day two after a cloudy opening day's play. The final two days of the game are scheduled to be full of warm sunshine.
VAC vs QSL Pitch Report
The MCG is one of the great and iconic grounds of the world and there is often a green tinge to the wicket on the opening day. That said, runs are plentiful with such a big outfield and a par first innings total will be around 330-350.
Toss: To Bat
Victoria showed the benefits of batting in the third innings in Sheffield Shield cricket in the last game and all in spite of being bowled out for 186 in the first innings. We expect both captains to choose to bat first.
VAC vs QSL
Winning Prediction
Victoria have only been beaten once so far this season and we expect them to be too strong for Queensland once again in this clash. Queensland are still yet to win a game this season and we predict that run will continue.
We are backing Victoria to win!
