VAC vs WAC Match Prediction & Analysis
With this final round of Sheffield Shield fixtures beginning, only 22 points separate bottom of the table Queensland with top of the table Tasmania. And unsurprisingly, the top positions are even tighter with Western Australia and Victoria separated by just 2.5 points ahead of this clash.
The Sheffield Shield is always a fascinating competition which has to contend with the best players away for large chunks of the season on international duty but with only six teams in the tournament, the standard is always very high.
That has been the case throughout this campaign and the winner of this match will be guaranteed a place in the Grand Final!Nic

TEAMS PREVIEW
Victoria Preview
A poor first innings with the bat was the catalyst for defeat against top of the table Tasmania in Victoria's last game and they will be determined to put a better total on the board first time out in this match.
From 48/1, Victoria slumped to 106 all out with only three of their batters making double figures scores and the 16 extras gratefully received! As a result, we can expect Will Sutherland's side to prioritise time at the wicket in this game.
With the ball, confidence will be high particularly for the skipper who took seven wickets against Tasmania. And as ever, the experienced Peter Siddle will certainly have a part to play in this game.
Victoria Predicted Playing XI:
Nic Maddinson, Marcus Harris, Will Pucovski, Peter Handscomb, Matthew Short, Sam Harper (wk), Will Sutherland (c), Mitchell Perry, Fergus O'Neill, Todd Murphy, Peter Siddle

Western Australia Preview
Western Australia will travel east to Melbourne with their tails up after thrashing Queensland by 146 runs in their last game and pushing themselves back into contention for a top two finish.
Keeper-batter Josh Inglis was the Player of the Match after he produced an unbeaten second innings century to back up his 47 in the first dig. Although Inglis would love to be representing his country in the Test in New Zealand at the moment, his loss is certainly WA's gain.
Another key part of WA's success against Queensland is their bowling attack which has variety and consistency of performance. Expect Corey Rocchiccioli to be a threat throughout.
Western Australia Predicted Playing XI:
Cameron Bancroft, Sam Whiteman (c), Jayden Goodwin, Hilton Cartwright, D'Arcy Short, Josh Inglis (wk), Charles Stobo, Joel Paris, Cameron Gannon, Corey Rocchiccioli, Liam Haskett

PITCH AND WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather Conditions
There will be plenty of cloud, some of it thick throughout this match. There is a risk of rain on Wednesday but apart from then we can expect dry conditions with the temperature in the mid-twenties on each day.
VAC vs WAC Pitch Report
This pitch is sometimes accused of being too flat but at this stage of the season there will be more than enough wear to assist the spinners. Batting will not be easy and any first innings total above 240 will be considered competitive.
Toss: To Bat
Although there will be favourable overhead conditions for the bowlers throughout this game in Melbourne, the pitch will only get worse for batting as the game progresses. We expect both skippers to want to bat first in this match.
VAC vs WAC
Winning Prediction
This is the perfect finish to the group stage for neutrals with both sides knowing that a victory will book their place in the Grand Final and in the top two! We expect the match to still be very much up for grabs ahead of the fourth innings but we are backing Western Australia to come out on top of a very competitive fixture.
