VAC vs TSC Match Prediction & Analysis
We are into the 2nd game of Sheffield Shield 2024-25, and hosts Victoria will be up against last season's finalists, Tasmania. Victoria didn't have a great season last year and finished 4th on the points table. Tasmania finished at the top of the table but couldn't deliver a good show in the final, losing against Western Australia, and the team will look to make a strong start.
It is a new season, and both teams are looking to get off to a good start. Tasmania hasn't lost a game against Victoria in the last two seasons, which will make the team confident. They have a strong batting lineup and shall look to leverage it. It will be interesting to see if Victoria can use the home conditions to their advantage in this game.

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
The skies over Melbourne will be mostly clear on all four days of the game. The wicket would be tough to bat on early on in the game and shall improve from Day 2 onward. The average first innings score here is 268 runs. The side batting first in this game would like to have a target score of 350 runs or more in mind.
VAC vs TSC Pitch Report
The pitch at Junction Oval, Melbourne, has historically been good for batsmen who look to play the waiting game. Fast bowlers have done well here with the bounce and pace they extract from the surface. There isn't much for the spinners at this venue, and the shorter boundaries make it challenging for them.
Toss: To Bowl
There will be assistance for the fast bowlers early on this surface. Batting conditions improve as the game progresses. The side that wins the toss would be looking to take advantage of this, and we expect them to invite the opposition to bat first in this game.
VAC vs TSC
Winning Prediction
Victoria had a bad season last year, and the team doesn't have a good record against Tasmania. The team's bowling attack is young and inexperienced, and this will pose a challenge for them. Tasmania has a solid batting line-up and shall take inspiration from their earlier record against Victoria. It will be a close game, but Tasmania shall start slightly ahead.
